Flexible, Responsible and Caring!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of many pets, including work on a farm for several years and various dog/cat/house-sitting schedules in the last 5 years. I am comfortable with all pets, administering medications, walking, grooming, playing, feeding, and anything else you can come up with! I am a previous pet owner myself and will treat yours like my own.
Reviews
Jamie is thoughtful, tidy, and trustworthy. My cats love her.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Jamie dogsitting for 12 nights in our home with our two poodles! From our first communication, I could tell that she is a reliable and responsible sitter who loves dogs and knows how to care for them. While we were away, she sent regular communications, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands. Jamie also took great care of our home. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!
Jaime is awesome! We felt very confident in her ability to take care of our senior dog after our meet & greet. The sense of trust was almost immediate. She took great care of both our home and our dog. She sent photos & updates daily. Jaime also responds quickly when we called or texted her. She left our home in neat & orderly condition. Our dog seemed happy to see us & we could tell that he had been well cared for.
Jamie was amazing!! She stayed at our house and watched our two dogs for a week and we could not have asked for better care. Not only were the dogs happy but I think she left our home cleaner than when she arrived. She was communicative daily with updates and also extremely respectful of our home. We will definitely be using Jamie again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable in other people's home and am willing to walk your pet at any parks in the area, as well as home/yard play. For overnight stays, it is usually best to keep the pet in the owners' home, and I can either stay over there or return as needed, depending on the distance to/from my home. I can accommodate small dogs, or a naturally quiet dog in my own home. I am not able to accommodate large or yet-to-be trained dogs and cats in my home at this time.
Information Jamie S. would like to know about your pet
Any feeding preferences and habits are good to know, any potential aggressive or protective behaviors. Training received or a lack of, and favorite toys and treats are beneficial as well. I always want to know how they react to other dogs, children and people, in case of interactions during walks or through the fence. Do they like car rides? Do they like dog parks? Every pet has a quirk, just let me know.
A typical day
Any surrounding parks or neighborhoods are fair game for a stroll! I enjoy playing fetch, or teaching fetch in an enclosed area as well. If you do not have a fenced in yard and your dog is friendly with other dogs, there is usually a dog park within a short distance, and I have a large enough car to transport. Walking by the lake or just chilling by the lake for a more relaxed option as well. Pets that are home-bodies get cuddle sessions and play time indoors or in their fenced or leashed outdoor space. I am comfortable with sleeping with dogs/cats on the bed, or whatever sleeping arrangement they prefer and is permitted in your home.
