Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal-lover & experienced sitter!
I am a University of Ottawa graduate (Honours Bachelor of Science in Biology and Animal Behaviour), looking to spend time with pets and dogs. I have been dog-walking and house-sitting since I was 10 years old and have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, reptiles, and fish in the past. I am very comfortable with animals and also have experience with dog obedience/training techniques for new tricks. I love to take them on hikes and walks with me, so that I have some company in the outdoors! I also have experience caring for older dogs, including a special needs dog that uses a wheel-chair on walks. I am comfortable taking care of cats and other small pets as well. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ratings and reviews
Jamie took great care of our dog Nugget! She even managed to coax him out for a decent walk in the rain. We love the updates she sends and know that Nugget is in great hands
Jamie is our go-to cat sitter for our guy George. Always responsive, detailed in comments about the visit, and our cat absolutely adores the quality time - this is evidenced in many photos!! 15/10 stars, always
Jamie is consistently the best. Our pets are very well cared for. Definitely recommend.
Jamie is great with our pets. Our dog is obviously very happy to see her. And she is a great home sitter too. Highly recommend!
Easy to communicate with and dogs came back exhausted and happy from their walks. :)
Jamie was once again exactly the right person to put our minds at ease! Our cat George loves Jamie and we love the amazing updates in photo and text form!

Schedule
I work from home, so most days I will be home all day with your pet. When I am gone for an office day, they will be alone for 6 hours max.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I only offer boarding for small dogs, as I have a cat! She is very good with dogs and has lived with them before, but she does get frightened by larger dogs or dogs that are hyper, so a smaller calmer dog would be a great fit, just for the comfort of my own baby!
Pets
A typical day
I work from home, so I am often home all day to spend time with your pet! On days that I do go to the office (or have a soccer game or choir rehearsal) they would be alone for 6 hours max. I love to go on long walks if your dog does, too, but can accommodate all different needs.
- 0 to 15 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyTakes only 1 client at a timeJamie can host up to 1 pet per night
- Let me know if your dog has any medical needs or special behavioural traits that might need some extra attention, so that there are no surprises and I can accommodate them as best as possible! I have experience administering oral medication, asthma medication, and insulin injections to pets.
