Animal Loving Social Worker
Pet care experience
My availability is as follows: Monday-Friday 8am-11am and 6pm-10pm. My weekends are open from 6am-10pm. **When inquiring about services, it would be very helpful to include an intersection near you so I can look up my travel time prior to speaking with you.** My experience working with animals is quite diverse. I am great with large breeds (such as mastiffs), anxious and shy dogs, high-energy pooches and have a lot of experience walking and taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. I have volunteered and have taken training classes at The Milwaukee Humane Society for many years. I understand dog behavior and their needs and welcome senior and special needs dogs. If your dog is high energy, I am happy to tire him/her out through walking, playing, and grooming. I find comfort in providing quality care for dogs and understand the need for owners to have peace of mind while they are gone. If you have other types of animals I am happy to watch over them and care for them as well - all animals are special! Please check out my calendar for my availability I have a BSW in Social Work and I am a Graduate student working on becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal is to use animal assisted therapy to help people with PTSD and other trauma. I am currently taking time off from school to save money so that I do not need to take out so many loans.
Reviews
Jamie is the best! She asked detailed questions about my pet’s needs and he was very comfortable with her during our meet and greet. She had perfect communication and was a wonderful dog sitter/walker.
Jamie is the most wonderful pet sitter. She is thorough and caring, and has gone above and beyond to take care of my pug, Douglas, while I am out of town. I can feel comfortable leaving him because I know he is in good hands. Jamie asks detailed questions to make sure all of your pet’s needs are met. This is my second time working with Jamie and would recommend her to anyone.
My cats were well taken care of! One of them usually is very prone to anxiety but it seems like they felt very comfortable!
Jamie is the best dog nanny ever. She helps me walk my dogs and sit them and is so flexible and easy to work with! I would be lost without her. 15/10 definitely recommend

Information Jamie C. would like to know about your pet
Before walking or sitting your dog(s) I prefer to set up a meet and greet in a neutral location. Though, if you are comfortable, it is not 100% necessary. Helpful information to know is: - On walks, do you walk at a brisk pace, or do you allow the animal time to sniff the trees and take in their environment? I like to mimic the way owners walk their dog(s). - How does your dog handle loud noises such as trucks? - Do you use any commands? If so, which ones? - How does your dog handle seeing other animals on the walk? Would you prefer I cross the street if another dog is coming down the same sidewalk? - Is your dog food / treat motivated? If so, is it OK if I bring treats for your dog? (please specify what your dog like? - Has your dog ever shown signs of food aggression? It's OK if he/she has in the past. I just need to know so I can be prepared. - Does your dog have a tendency to try and eat items found on the walk? Thrown out food, garbage, bones, cigarette butts etc. - What does your dog like? What does your dog dislike? - To help alleviate any anxiety you may have about a stranger walking and taking care of your animal, what information would you like to know about me? During drop-ins and home stays: - Is your dog allowed on furniture? - What is your dog's schedule like from day to day (when does he/she eat, go potty, wake up, fall asleep etc.?) - Does your dog have separation anxiety? - What do you feel is important for me to know about your dog?
