Pet care experience
I'm a massive animal lover, but especially dogs and cats. My family always had multiple cats while I was growing up and we often visited many friends with dogs and cats. I've taken care of the pets of many family and friends as an older teenager and as an adult. I'm currently the regular walker for a goofy male Aussie Shepard and separately an extremely energetic female Aussie Shepard puppy.
Reviews
Jamie has been walking Tank for 6 months. He is reliable and my dog loves him. It is actually heartwarming to see Tank respond to Jamie with wags and kisses. If you're looking for someone you can trust and who will show your pet affection, Jamie is the person to work with.
Jamie really loves animals so I felt Nachos was in good hands. Overall, it was an OK experience just a few things that stood out to me. He didn't really check in with me unless I prompted. So there were some days I didn't get a message and I was on a work trip so it was hard to get a free moment to check in. I figured if I'm paying someone to stay at my house to watch my cat, they'd message me willingly. The water fountain wasn't topped up so my cat was quite thirsty when I got home. Not sure how many days it was running low/empty. As soon as I filled his fountain, he drank for 10+ minutes straight which he never does. I was quite worried. My cat also got into the closet and ripped into the kibble bag but thankfully didn't eat the whole thing so not a huge deal but could have been really bad if he had eaten the whole bag. Jamie stayed overnight which is fine but the house was dirty. Food stains and food crusted on the countertops and milk spilled on the cabinet doors. Bathroom was dirty, etc. He did set the dishwasher to go to wash the dishes and took out the garbage which I appreciated.
Our regular sitters fell through at the last minute, but it didn’t matter because we were able to book in with Jamie. He was prompt, very communicative, made himself available to take the time to do a meet and greet and get the lay of the land. If you’re in need of a sitter, look no further. We would 10/10 book with him again!
Jamie was available in a last minute pinch for overnight stays. He helped my kitty with chemo by dispensing medications and dealing with his picky appetite. Jamie is obviously an animal lover. The kitties liked him right away and they had a nice time together. I would definitely use his kitty care services again.
About Jamie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are precious and are members of your family who should be treated as such. I understand well the needs of cats and dogs, and the attention, exercise, and nourishment they require.
Information Jamie S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I should be aware of. Any dietary restrictions or medications they might need, and of course their favourite type of treats! Your dogs' well being it my top priority.
A typical day
Walking the neighbourhood, visiting a nearby park or a dog park are musts. Play and exercise are huge part of any time I spend with your dog. Once I've gotten to know you and your dog and we're all comfortable with each other, trips to the beach or other local, dog friendly destinations (arranged in advance, of course) are possibilities as well.
