Grad student with flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I've been dogsitting for friends and family for over 6 years, the smallest being a samoyed and the biggest being a pitbull-lab mix. I'm used to dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I'm a biomedical engineer transitioning into a new career which gives me great availability at odd hours, including during the day. I also used to volunteer at Operation Kindness, a no-kill animal shelter in Carrollton, Texas for 4 years, so I do have training regarding walking larger dogs. Additionally, I run long distance for fun and did take the pitbull-lab mix I was looking after for 3 mile runs, so long walks are no issue for me! As far as cats, I love them (looking to get one of my own!) and fostered kittens during quarantine.

Jamie was AMAZING with our dog. Ollie is a nervous dog around new people and she let him take his time to acclimate to her. She also kept us updated throughout our trip and kept us in the loop. I would recommend her to anyone!

Jamie was fantastic and was kind enough to work around our changing schedule. My dog was always happy to see her and enjoyed Jamie’s visits. I’m glad to have someone I can trust get some of his energy out.

Jamie really does possess a special gift: she is very intuitive. By 'intuitive,' I mean she outshines almost everyone I know at listening, understanding, and then empathizing with whomever she is talking to. Now, I learned this about her very early on by the way she interacts with me and with other people. But little did I know that this gift of hers applies to animals as well. Whenever my dog Jack sees Jamie, I notice that his demeanor changes. At first, his reaction to her seems normal for any dog, as he is wagging his tail and jumping on her with joy. But after the initial excitement passes, he becomes extremely calm and seems at home. He sticks by her side and genuinely enjoys her company for the duration of the time they spend together. And what is even more heart-warming for me to witness is that Jamie ALWAYS reciprocates his love by petting him, acknowledging his presence by putting her hand on his head, or even being constantly aware of his needs (his food, water, overall well-being, etc,). But overall, Jamie's ability to connect to other people and form strong relationships with them enable her to understand dogs on a deeper level. She cares about them. And they can tell.

Jamie has been a sitter for my white lab Phoebe many times, and has done absolutely great every time with her. Phoebe loves to go on runs with her, or even just play around the house or cuddle up and bask in the love and attention that she gives her. Definitely couldn't recommend anyone better to dog sit than someone who loves dogs as much as Jamie does!

I won’t be taking pets into my own home at this time; I may begin accepting stays in the new year after I move to a new place.

Information Jamie K. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about energy levels, how house broken they are, and any dietary restrictions. I don't have breed preferences and have been able to handle any size of dog.

A typical day

I love long walks and going to dog parks (or normal parks if there's a good field for Frisbee)—happy to socialize your dog with others if you think your pup is ready for that step!
