Highlights
Pet care experience
Honest, Reliable, Compassionate
Every pet in my care receives all the love and attention they desire and need! Walks? Play time? Cuddles? Yes! Special instructions? No Problem! I have experience caring for seniors, including giving injections, sub-qu fluids, and pills - I try to lean towards cooperative care whenever possible to reduce stress in the animal and caregiver. This also applies to meeting new cats and dogs, I never force an interaction unless necessary for their care, but I'm also not against offering treats as a bribe! Treats are always good. Serving: Downtown, Capitol Hill, and the Central District neighborhoods only. I love all the kitties, kittens, special needs kitties, shy cats, social cats, playtime or cuddles or sitting nearby. For meet and greets with cats, we'll cover food, litter box, playtime/cuddles, and any special instructions. For the dogs! I can provide midday walks, with a special focus on decompressing and relaxation (it can be stressful being alone all day!), special enrichment and exercise, and or more structured and focused on going the distance kind of walks. Just let me know what you and your dog prefer! I'm an experienced pet sitter, with experience points earned in doggie daycare, overnight care, dog walking, cat and kitten care, and fostering. I'm knowledge in both canine and feline behavior, care, and enrichment. In my downtime, I'm either creating something with my hands, or working on my next short story. Spending quality time with all the dogs and cats is always a pleasure!

Ratings and reviews
Jamie did an amazing job looking after my cat while I was away! They provided photos, communicated clearly and took great care of Touli :)
As usual, Jamie was great!
Jamie is always reliable, communicates well, and takes good care of my senior kitty.
Jamie was wonderful! They provided amazing care for our girls and the photos were great! Would absolutely hire them again :)
Jamie is so reliable and communicative! I usually get very anxious when I go out of town and leave the cats, but Jamie makes the process so much better!
Such a great experience with Jamie. My cat was calm and happy when I returned home. Thank you!

Pets
A typical day
I typically leave in the morning about 8-10am to take care of cats and dogs in their own homes, then return home typically by 3pm. Everyone will get a walk in the morning, when I get home, and then before bed. For cats that I'm taking care of while their people are away, I try to be there at the same time every day to give them a routine and something to look forward to each day. We'll play, enjoy as many pets and brushing as they like, I'll make sure they have food and fresh water, and a clean litter box, as well as administer any medications they may require. For dog walks, I typically start the walk time when I enter your home. I'll quickly get your dog ready for a walk, leashed and with any other equipment and treats they'll need. Then we'll enjoy a nice walk around the neighborhood, stopping to allow them to do their business, sniff, and enjoy the weather. Once our walk has ended, I'll send a report with pictures and include any important details like if they appeared to have an upset stomach, if they ate something they shouldn't, or if they had a strong reaction to something new or anything else that may come up unexpected. For boarding, I don't typically crate anyone while I'm away. I only accept one dog at a time. Everyone is welcome to share space, play with the toys, and hang out wherever they'd like in my home. There are plenty of beds to go around, toys, and a variety of bowls and puzzle feeders as well.
