Services

Jamie can care for

Cats

Availability

I can always make time for animals! I work full-time from home, so I can do one drop-in per week day. Saturdays are more flexible and can do 2-3 drop ins. Sundays I do church and volunteer work and can handle 1-2 drop ins.

Safety, trust & environment

My cat is spoiled! I give her a brushing every other day, always make sure she has fresh food/water, and scoop her litter box once a day (wash once a week). I treat the cats I care for at W&W the same. For litter, I am experienced with automated and manual litter boxes. For water, I know how to clean and fill water fountains.

Information Jamie R. would like to know about your pet

I ask dog or cat owners to tell me: -Typical schedule/routine. - Personality traits. Is the dog or cat timid? social? Does the dog or cat need extra attention in certain areas? - Health. Does the dog or cat have any illness I need to be aware of? If so - what is it and what should I take note of when caring for the dog or cat? - Behavior. Is the dog known to pull while walking? If so - I'm only a 5'3 woman so it might not be best for me, or the owner, to walk a large dog that could either drag me or get away from me.

A typical day

Rover doesn't let me get into specifics about my schedule. Basically - I am available for drop-ins during the weekdays. It will just have to be either in the early morning, during the lunch hour, or at night (as I work a 9-6 schedule M-F). And I'm open on weekends (barring if I have weddings or big events). For walks - it depends on the dogs. I've walked dogs that don't like to be around other dogs. For those dogs - I typically walk them in neighborhoods, or in park areas where you don't see a lot of dogs (i.e avoid *dog* specific parks). For dogs that love being around other dogs - I'll certainly take them to a dog park, or stick to the neighborhood. It honestly depends on what the owner tells me! I understand dogs are like babies! For fun activities - I love walking dogs and taking them to events. There are a lot of cool dog-friendly places here in San Diego, where I would be open to taking dogs too (if owners want their dogs to be more social). We can always talk about boundaries, likes, dislikes, etc.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Jamie, and I am a full-time communications specialist AND dog/cat lover. I volunteer at Whiskers & Wine Bar - where I am trained to identify stress or medical conditions in cats. I have sat for many friends, family members, & strangers. I pay attention to certain quirks and needs for each dog and cat (i.e. if a certain dog /cat needs a certain type of food element added to its dish, or if a certain dog is more timid - I am your dog whisperer). My friends describe me as the "dog whisperer" because I am known to get along with every dog (timid or not). I also take note of what the owner wants for their dog. So if you need someone with great attention to detail: I am the right person!

Jamie is the best pet sitter you could possibly come across. I’m telling you, she is the BEST you’ll find!!! We don’t worry one bit about our pet when she’s taking care of him. She does more than you would even ask of a sitter. And loves them well enough that they’ll think she’s their new mom hahaha (our Carter is obsessed with her! 🥰)

Jamie has been watching our sweet baby cat for a few years now, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough! She has gone above and beyond so many times when things happen while we’re away, and it is incredibly reassuring knowing that she is so dedicated to making sure our little guy feels loved and safe and is taken care of. 100/10 stars!
