Cat care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, feedings, and quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care, and I’m mindful about maintaining consistency so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all care instructions closely, from feeding routines, play time, and any household guidelines. I’m very attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring behavior, and ensuring pets are always in a safe environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, especially those who may be shy or anxious, and I never force interaction - everything is on their terms. Cleanliness is also important to me, so I always leave your home just as I found it (or better!).

Information Jamie K. would like to know about your pet

I love learning about each pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible. It’s helpful to know their routine, personality, energy level, and any specific needs or medications. I also like to know their favorite toys, treats, or activities, along with anything that might make them anxious or uncomfortable. I typically require a quick meet & greet after booking to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. It’s important for me to get to know your space and your pets so I can provide the highest level of care and keeps your pet’s experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

A typical day

A typical day is tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. For dogs, that might include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention. For cats or more low-key pets, it could be interactive play, feeding, litter box care, and calm companionship. Of course, there’s always plenty of affection and downtime mixed in too. Overall, my goal is to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I am a dedicated cat sitter with a true love for all kitties. I grew up in a household with cats and have been a pet parent all throughout my adult life. I specialize in caring for cats of every personality, but I especially excel with shy, nervous, or more reserved kitties who need a little extra patience and understanding to feel comfortable. I take the time to earn your cat’s trust at their own pace; whether that means quiet companionship, gentle play, or simply being a calm presence in their space. I know how important routine is for cats, so I stick closely to their normal schedule to help them feel safe and secure while you’re away. I also have experience administering medication and am comfortable handling a variety of specific needs with attention and care. Clean litter boxes, fresh food and water, and a tidy home are always part of my standard. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is being treated with the same love and respect I’d give my own. I’d love to meet your kitty and make their time apart from you as stress-free as possible!

My cats loveeeed Jamie so much, never saw them that comfortable right away. She gave me detailed updates and sent me daily pictures of my babies. Even brought in a package for me. Highly appreciate you and what you do, Jamie! Definitely recommend and will book again 🩷
