Reliable housesitter - cats & dogs!
Pet care experience
Hello fellow animal lovers! I grew up with both cats and dogs - over 20 years with both and I love them all. From a Shetland sheep dog to a Great Dane to lovely shelter mutts, I love getting to know pups' unique personalities. I also have a special talent for winning over standoffish cats - just give me a couple of days. About me - I'm and education and training professional working a hybrid job based out of Portland, Maine. From northern California originally, I love exploring the coast, traveling, reading, and sketching & painting (poorly - but no one says you have to be good at your hobbies!). I travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I hope you'll let me play with yours!
Reviews
Jamie has watched our 2 dogs a number of times. They love her! Jamie is communicative, responsible and makes sure they are well taken care of with walks and lots of attention. I highly recommend her.
Jamie grew up with pets and loves them. She is extremely responsible and will be an asset as a pet sitter. I highly recommend her.
Jamie has house-sat my reserved-yet-opinionated cat Basil for multiple weeklong stays. She "gets" cats and has a kind and gentle presence that encourages cats to open up to her. She expertly navigated an accident that required a load of laundry and overall keep our apartment very tidy. I highly recommend her!

She handled an unexpected accident (and a load of laundry!) with ease and kept our apartment very tidy. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I will do everything I can to provide safety and comfort for your pets while you are away. If you'd like any addition house care for your home (e.g., watering plants, picking up mail) please let me know! Outside of caring for your pets, I am open for general house sitting.
Information Jamie B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any specific needs, behaviors, or preferences that I should know about, especially in regards to other dogs. I always welcome any information about favorite walks, parks, or play.
A typical day
I love having a dog by my side as an excuse to go explore new neighborhoods and parks. We'll spend plenty of time outside complemented by lots of play, bonding, and cuddling (if they'll let me!). Let me know what commands and tricks they're working on and I'd be happy to practice!
