Pet care experience

FULL TIME, PROFESSIONAL PETSITTER

My passion for animals and their well-being has guided my career path and shaped my life. From a young age, I found myself drawn to the animal kingdom, fascinated by their behaviors, and eager to learn more about their care. Over the past 20 years, I have been fortunate enough to work professionally with animals, gaining valuable experience and knowledge along the way. My background in animal behavior and training has allowed me to understand and communicate with different species, helping them thrive in various environments. In addition to my work in pet care, I have also served as a veterinary assistant, where I gained insights into the medical aspects of animal care. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of the health and well-being of animals, allowing me to provide the necessary support and attention they require. Animal law has been another area of focus for me, as I believe in advocating for the rights and welfare of all animals. Understanding the legal aspects surrounding animals has enabled me to navigate and address any legal concerns related to their care. Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to work in wildlife rehabilitation, providing care and rehabilitation for injured or orphaned wildlife. This has been a truly rewarding experience, as I have witnessed firsthand the resilience and beauty of these amazing creatures. Lastly, working with exotics has been an exciting and unique aspect of my career. Interacting with so many different species of animals has broadened my understanding of the diverse species that inhabit our planet. Overall, my life's work has revolved around animals, their care, and their well-being. I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care services through Rover, ensuring that every animal entrusted to me receives the love, attention, and specialized care they deserve.

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2026

Jamie is absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I traveled to town for a concert at Notre Dame Stadium and stayed at an Airbnb with my senior dog, who has a few health issues. As someone who has never used a dog sitter before, I was an anxious, nervous mama at the thought of leaving my boy. However, the moment Jamie walked through the door, all of my worries completely melted away. She radiates a warmth and professional competence that instantly created a safe, and comfortable environment for both of us. It was such a huge relief to feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. Jamie has an incredible gift for making dogs feel secure; she intuitively knew exactly how to handle a senior pup in an unfamiliar environment, making him feel relaxed and right at home. He warmed up to her right away after a few treats, and my heart melted when she sent me pictures of him completely content and curled up on her lap napping. Jamie cared for him with the exact same love and attentiveness that I do. She has such phenomenal professional experience with dogs, and my only regret is that I don't live in the area to hire her regularly. If I could give her 10 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. If you are traveling to the area or just need a truly premier sitter you can trust implicitly, you need to hire Jamie without question! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jamie was an awesome sitter and very accommodating during a last minute plan for our trip. She was a quick communicator and provided great pictures of Matt while we were away!

Jamie was great! She dropped in a couple times while we were gone for the day and gave the dog some much needed attention. Will definitely reach out again in the future!
