Highlights
Pet care experience
Give me all the dogs. 😍
Hi! I’m Jamie. I’ve been working with dogs for over 14 years & have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities & needs. My passion is caring for medically fragile dogs, including those who are blind, deaf, or recovering from surgery. I’ve fostered over 25 different breeds of dogs (& over 75 dogs total) through CARE, APA, Even Chance Pit Bull Rescue, & Unchained Melodies since I started fostering in college. I am very active in the rescue world and previously have served on a board for a nonprofit animal rescue, so very experienced with rescue dogs. Dogs I have worked with come from many different & difficult situations including hoarding cases, neglect, abuse & organized fighting. I also have experience with other animals including cats & bunnies. I currently have 1 foster dog.

Jamie is always great with my anxious dog and is a very reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I have taken my dog to her many times and will again. Thanks Jamie!
Doggos were well taken care of. Plenty of updates and pictures. Thank you Jaime! I trust you with my doggos everytime.
Jamie is the best dog sitter. She took very good care of our staffy and bulldog. She was very responsive and gave us daily updated pictures of our dogs. I would definitely book with her again.
Jaimie was great to work with. Both of my dogs enjoyed their time with her.
Jamie was amazing with my super anxious dog reactive dog. This was the first time I’ve done Rover and Jamie made the whole process super easy. I highly recommend her. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my anxious Topo in her care. She very was patient and kind with her and sent me updates throughout the weekend. Thank you Jamie!
Jaimie did a great job taking care of Bruce.

Schedule
I am a teacher, so during the school year I am away Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 3:45. During the summer (June through August), I am help with running a few kids to camps but otherwise am home & hanging out with the dogs all day. Dogs fit perfectly into my summer routine & get plenty of time to run around my fenced-in yard or relax inside if they are at my house for daycare or boarding. If I am swinging by for a drop in or walk, dogs also fit perfectly into my daily routine and are treated as if they were my own. For safety, I do require that dogs who stay at my house be crate trained. I crate dogs when I am not home to provide a calm, secure environment. I also have a camera on them for the short amount of time I am away so I know that they are always safe. When I am not working, I am home & fully focused on the dogs in my care. While staying with me, dogs have full access to my fenced yard & my home, but they are never left unattended. Please note that I am happy to schedule a meet & greet, but during this time I do not allow dogs from other homes to meet each other. Any current dogs in my home will remain crated. This allows your dog to settle in safely before exploring a new environment & helps prevent any unnecessary stress.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are treated like family whether they are staying in my home or I am visiting them at yours. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable & well cared for at all times. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication if needed & plenty of playtime. I love sending photo & video updates so you can stay connected to your pet while you are away. For boarding in my home, I send one update every 24 to 48 hours. If you prefer more frequent updates, just let me know in advance. For drop-ins & walks, I send an update after each visit with pictures & a quick summary of how your pet is doing. I always make sure they get fresh water, bathroom breaks & attention based on their needs.
A typical day
I have lots of different food puzzles for your dog to enjoy during mealtimes. I also like to offer frozen Kongs filled with special treats when I have to leave for work or errands. These help keep dogs mentally stimulated & relaxed. When the weather is warm, I have a small pool in the backyard for dogs who love to splash & cool off. I also have frisbees, bones, chews, toys & other enrichment options available. These are not left out when multiple dogs are together, but your dog will get one on one playtime with any of these based on their interests. I also have a treadmill designed specifically for dogs that can be used during their stay. Dogs spend most of their time either playing in the large fenced backyard or hanging out in the living room with me. My yard has lots of room to run & is full of interesting smells to explore. I love sitting outside watching dogs enjoy themselves & making sure they get plenty of attention. For drop ins, I always make time for play, potty breaks & any mental stimulation your dog enjoys. For walks, I focus on giving your dog a safe & enjoyable outing at their pace. Every visit is tailored to what your dog needs to feel happy & calm. For both drop ins & walks, I bring my own treat pouch, so please let me know in advance if your dog has any allergies or cannot have certain treats.
