Adventure-Filled days, Cozy nights

Your dog isn’t just staying somewhere…they’re going to camp!!🐾 At my home days are filled with adventure, play, and connection, and nights are calm, cozy, and comfortable. Whether your pup loves exploring, 1 on 1 leashed neighborhood walks, sniffing, playing with friends, or just soaking up attention I make sure they feel completely at home and genuinely loved while you’re away. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I treat every dog like they’re my own and love getting to know their personalities, the goofy, the shy, the sassy, and the social butterflies. My goal is always the same to send dogs home happy, relaxed, and tired from a great stay!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 29, 2026

Jami is incredibly gifted in overall dog knowledge. A natural and very accommodating to Ellie's need for nap time. She played endlessly with one of her newly adopted dogs and I think Ellie has a new best friend! Ellie will be back!

Jami is an exceptional dog sitter, we feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her! We had some major flight delays on this last trip and Jami was so flexible and accommodating, travel stress is made so much better by knowing your dog is in good hands.

We’re so grateful we had Jami watch over our little Naya! We really appreciate how well you took care of her and all the videos and pictures you sent us. We could tell Naya really enjoyed her time with you, especially the splash pad! We will defiantly book with Jami again the next time we are in need of a dog sitter.

Doggy Day Care • May 09, 2026

Jami is an incredible sitter! She watched my anxious Golden Retriever for daycare a few times and it was clear she truly understands dog behavior. She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and even communicated a clear plan for how she would help her settle in. Jami is calm and happy herself, which made it so easy to talk with her about any concerns. She responded quickly to text questions, followed feeding instructions perfectly, and respected my leashing preferences when they went on a hike. Jami sent regular updates. Jamie has a beautiful, large, fenced yard with a large deck full of pet beds and even a same-level floor dedicated just for the dogs. It's kind of like a fancy resort for pups! I knew my dog was going to have a wonderful time and I picked up a calm, happy, and tired pup. I can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, plus a dedicated dog living room and bedroom where everyone can decompress comfortably indoors. I have Furbo cameras inside as well as security cameras outside. Safety is always my top priority. Dogs are carefully matched by temperament, play style, and energy level, and all interactions are monitored. For added peace of mind on outings I use Garmin GPS tracking collars and am happy to keep your pup leashed if desired! My goal is to create an environment that feels structured, calm, and fun where dogs can build confidence, socialize appropriately, and truly enjoy their stay.

A typical day

A typical day feels like a mix of adventure and cozy camp life. Mornings often start with playtime in the yard then a hike or walk giving dogs the chance to explore, burn energy, and engage their minds. Once we’re back home, we shift back into monitored playtime in the yard or inside, making sure interactions stay positive and balanced. There’s plenty of time for rest, cuddles, and just hanging out whether that’s lounging in the living room or soaking up attention. Throughout the day pups enjoy snacks, enrichment, and lots of one on one love.
