Never met an animal I didn't like
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of animals since I was little. My experience with animals spans over many types from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, rodents, I even had a horse at one time. I have groomed both dogs and cats including trimming nails. I care for all animals as my own and give much love to each and everyone. I trained my own dogs when they were young. I had a cat that I inherited that wasn't a people person, after a few weeks working on her attitude, she now loved people. I feel I have a knack for understanding animals. I love taking animals out and about to parks, My cat was trained to go out on a leash, she loved to go to the pet store. I love all kinds of animals, hopefully you will let me get to know your animal

Jami is our go-to for our fur kids! They are always well cared for and happy! 😃
I was really looking forward to Riley staying with Jami again. She's such a sweet woman and always makes time to do a meet and greet. Her son, JT, also lends a helping hand, which is a bonus! However the few things we discussed were not taken into consideration, like his daily vitamin. I gave her enough to have two left over & I came home to none being administered. That is an essential nutrient that Riley needs for his skin and itching, and he had multiple new dry spots. I did not receive check-ins and few pictures. The lack of communication was apparent. This was not the first time I used her to watch Riley. I got feedback that he was skiddish and took up her couch. Riley was extremely abused for four years before adopting him. That is in my profile. There are ways to comfort an animal when you know their history. So with all her expertise, I assumed Jami would be okay with watching him. He was happy when I picked him up (had to wait over ten minutes when the pick up time was arranged) and this I found to be disrespectful. I returned from a flight and was eager to get home and have dinner. All in all he was okay. So that I'm grateful for that. She has had animals her whole life and that takes skill. The amount of love you give to an animal should be reflected in your communication. Jami and her son JT are good people. I just experienced the lack of communication and care on her part. That was disappointing.
Our dog is 13 years old and is not used to being left. He was so calm when we got home, so we know Jami took good care of him. It usually takes him a while to warm up to new people, but he immediately went up to her several times on the first meeting. Jami was reliable and good about communicating with us. We would use her again.
Jami was very sweet and great with our pup!

When I am boarding an animal I treat them as my own, I have a small back yard where we go out and enjoy the outdoors. My place is animal friendly and ready to have a guest come stay. When at someone's home, I respect there surroundings and make sure to pick up after myself and the animal I am sitting.

I don't have any breed preferences. How the dog acts with other animals, such as do they interact with other animals or doesn't. How the dog behaves around humans.
A typical day
We would get up go outside for a quick bathroom break, have breakfast, then relax outside or go to the park for a while, come back my place hang out while I get some work done, then have some dinner and go out to another park or dog park and run around for a while then come back to my place and ready for bed. While at the park we would run, play ball and mingle with other animals if able to.
