🐾Your Dog’s Home Away From Home🐾

I’ve had 2-3 dogs in my home since I was 5, developing a lifelong passion for dog behavior and care. Over the years, I’ve trained all my dogs with various trainers, honing my understanding of different needs and personalities. I’ve been actively involved in dog rescue with for 2 years, fostering over 20 dogs, from 6 week old puppies to adults with behavioral & medical challenges. Working closely with our rescues behavior team, I’ve helped dogs from hoarding situations and those with past trauma, including bite history. I’m very comfortable with medical needs and have experience handling a variety of health issues from distemper survivors with neuro issues, megaesophagus, plus plenty more. I’m here to ensure your pup feels right at home, with the care and attention they deserve! Whether it’s a safe space or fun zone for them, we can provide it♥️🐾

Like death and taxes, one of life’s absolute truths: Jamie LOVES dogs ! Highly responsible, experienced, and trustworthy there is none else I would trust more with my dog.

Jamie R. has been an absolute blessing in my life, and I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter or walker on Rover. For the past 12 years, Jamie has cared for my beloved dog, Sanibel, with unwavering dedication and compassion. From daily walks to overnight stays, Jamie has always gone above and beyond to ensure Sanibel is happy, healthy, and loved. She has a natural ability to connect with animals, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about their well-being. I've always felt at ease knowing Sanibel was in her care, and I trust Jamie completely with every aspect of her needs. Jamie is responsible, attentive, and incredibly dependable. She has handled everything from routine care to unexpected situations with professionalism and kindness. Sanibel lights up whenever she sees Jamie, which speaks volumes about the bond they share. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry family member as if they were her own, Jamie is the perfect choice. I can't recommend her highly enough! Regards, Anna Lapre

Schedule

I work from home so separation anxiety wouldn’t be an issue here! Drop-offs as early as 6:30am & pick-ups by 7pm. Drop-ins anytime from 3pm-10pm weekdays & 7am-10pm weekends! My dogs are very use to new fosters over the years so they integrate with pretty much any dog and make sure to do proper intros when needed. I’m a home body and pretty much do anything involving my dogs outside of work!

Pets

A typical day

I love providing both mental and physical stimulation tailored to each pet’s needs, whether it’s a relaxing sniff walk, swimming in our pool, or hiking. I incorporate a variety of puzzle toys to engage their minds and ensure they’re always challenged. Whatever it takes to set your pup up for success, I’m committed to giving them the perfect balance of fun and enrichment!
