This was our 2nd time using Jamie and she was great again! Updated us the whole time with photos and videos. One of our dogs has a ton of anxiety right now because we are moving and we were very worried about her being alone, so Jamie stayed at our house the entire 2.5 days. Above and beyond and our dogs were so well taken care of!

Jamie seemed eager to take care of Sammy, but in reality they were a bad fit for one another. She was not able, I believe, to handle his need for two walks a day. She told me he got into the trash several times, which he has NEVER done before in 5 ½ years. If it actually was happening, most dog owners could manage to take out or lock up the trash which didn’t occur to her. I think his size was an issue. I imagine Jamie does very well with smaller dogs or cats which provide a bit more entertainment for her and are easier going. I learned that Sammy is probably better off in a kennel with more standardized care and might not be happy trying to adapt to a new person’s schedule and habits. My son picked up Sammy from Jamie’s after she felt overwhelmed halfway through the scheduled stay. As I was overseas for another 6 days, I feel lucky my son was able to retrieve Sammy. Live and learn. I was refunded for the days of care Sammy did not receive. Jamie was very willing, but inexperienced with a slightly older, bigger dog, with exercise needs she had a hard time providing. We were both unprepared to discover Sammy’s needs did not fit into Jamie’s lifestyle.
