Reviews
Jamie is amazing. We needed last minute care for our dog while we were on a trip to Las Vegas and she went above and beyond to be able to care for our dog and this allowed us to have a nice dinner with our family. I felt comfortable with Jamie from the moment we began to communicate and during our dog’s stay with her she kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures and videos. I would defiantly recommend her if you ever need dog sitter. I am very thankful for all of her help and care with our dog!
Jaime kept us well informed about Bear and our house. We will be definitely hiring her again as long as she is with River. We welcomed her into our home during a meet and greet as well as scheduling a visit with her to meet Bear. She kept Bear’s routine of sleeping in our bedroom on his bed or on the bed with her as normal as possible. Thank you for caring as much as we do for our Bear.
Jamie is amazing. Our boys were well cared for.our home was clean and cared for. She even got my antisocial cat out from hiding. Extremely communicative. We will definitely be only looking to Jamie for pet care from now on.
Jamie is a fantastic dog sitter. She follows directions exactly and my dogs love her! Jamie does an outstanding job and I highly recommend her! 😃

Information Jamie K. would like to know about your pet
UNDERSTANDING YOUR PET: Ahead of time, important information to know about a pet includes their feeding schedule, any medical conditions or special needs, behavioral traits, exercise requirements, training cues, and emergency contact information. UPDATED PRESCRIPTIONS: For medications, I require an official, written prescription from the vet/pharmacy that details what times, dosages, and methods are used. It is important that your prescription is updated with your vet if it differs from how you administer it, as my personal ethics only allow me to administer medications exactly as prescribed. UNIQUE TRAITS: Understanding your pet's preferences and unique characteristics allows me to provide tailored and attentive care, ensuring a happy and comfortable experience for your furry friend. If there's anything I didn't mention that you think I should know, please tell me. PRIORITIZING SAFETY AND RESPECT: Creating a secure and comfortable environment for both you and your pet is my top priority. I particularly value the significance of privacy and appropriate behavior, driven by my own experiences. It is important to note that I uphold a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of inappropriate conduct, including harassment or predatory behavior. This extends to the uploading of videos and/or pictures of me without my consent, even if they are "non-intimate," to platforms (websites, apps, group chats, online communities, etc.) intended to "appeal to prurient interests." Please be aware that such actions are not only against my professional principles but also a violation of federal law under VAWA 2022. I am committed to maintaining clear boundaries between my personal and professional life, and please note that I have a girlfriend. Should any suspicion of inappropriate conduct arise, I will take immediate action, including terminating pet caregiving services, notifying Rover for a replacement caregiver, and discontinuing any future pet caregiving services indefinitely. NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY: I prioritize qualifications and experience over gender or personal characteristics when providing pet caregiving services. If you are seeking a caregiver solely based on gender, I may not be the right fit for your needs. As an experienced and professional pet caregiver, I understand that quality pet sitting depends on a particular set of skills and techniques, which is required to provide a level of care above what 'casual pet sitters' may provide. Anyone with the proper skillset can handle any breed or type of service as this depends on one's ability to read and interpret a pet's body language and behavior cues, administer specialized dietary and medical needs tailored to individual pets' requirements, implement positive reinforcement training methods to encourage desired behaviors, maintain a structured routine to minimize stress and anxiety, and adapt enrichment activities that cater to the unique physical and mental stimulation needs of each pet. It's about creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that promotes their well-being and fosters a strong bond based on trust and understanding. If you believe people of particular protected characteristics are not suited for certain breeds or types of pet caregiving services, then I am not the right fit for you. I intentionally use an androgynous picture of myself as I know that I have the skills, training, and experience to handle any breed and perform any of my listed services regardless of my perceived or actual gender. As stated in my bio, I have 3+ years of experience and am one of the few independently insured pet caregivers on Rover, and I take pride in the level of care and attention I provide to each pet, treating them as my own. If my gender or other protected characteristics would make or break whether you book a service with me, regardless of my qualifications, then you are welcome to search elsewhere for the kind of sitter you are looking for.
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch involves a blend of enjoyable activities tailored to meet their individual needs and preferences. Whether I'm caring for dogs, cats, or any other beloved companions, my goal is to ensure their happiness and engagement throughout the day. We start with a morning walk or play session, providing them with fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, interactive games, toys, and plenty of attention keep their spirits high. I make sure to provide regular potty breaks and maintain their feeding schedule as instructed. If allowed, we may visit nearby parks or pet-friendly areas for a change of scenery and more playtime. My focus is on tailoring each day to suit the individual needs and preferences of each pet, ensuring they have a fun-filled and content experience under my care. During our meet-and-greet, I will create an individualized care plan and will work with you to discuss any and all needs your pet(s) may have.
