Pet care experience
Ever since I was a child, animals have been a pivotal part of my life, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and ferrets. Being entrusted with their well-being has not only honed my extensive knowledge of different pets and their specific needs but also deepened my connection with them. My broad experience is complemented by a natural affinity for animals, which drives me to continually study their behaviors and enhance our connection. I am honoured and humbled by the overwhelming positive response from all my clients, whose support has enabled me to pursue this passion full-time. Receiving 57 five-star reviews and nearly 200 flawless bookings in just my first year on Rover testifies to the trust and satisfaction my clients experience. This encouragement fuels my commitment to provide exceptional care, ensuring that every pet is treated with love and understanding.
Reviews
Jamie done an amazing job with Rose, even though she can be quite intimidating to begin with.
I am so greatful for Jamie's service. He took so much stress of my shoulders to step in and look after my cat Max. He played with him and Max seemed to be very happy with his company. I have received a few pictures from every visit. I would highly recommend Jamie.
Jamie was fab , very detail orientated and even sent me a video of my cat purring next to him ! Will definitely book again
Really good communication, cost, and service, cats really happy with the service too. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, Trust & Environment In both my own home and the homes of pet owners, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for all pets under my care. I am meticulous about maintaining hygiene, ensuring that everything from litter boxes to gardens is kept pristine to promote a healthy living space. Play and exercise are essential elements of my daily routine, dedicating at least an hour each day—often more in the evenings—to help pets expend energy and ensure a restful night's sleep. One of my proudest achievements is successfully training my own cat, Salem, to adapt to a harness for walks and travel. This experience not only showcases my ability to teach positive behaviors effectively but also enhances my capability to provide nurturing and stimulating care tailored to each pet's needs. My approach is grounded in a deep-rooted passion for animal care, always conducted with the highest level of positivity and respect towards the pets I look after. Ensuring their safety and happiness is my utmost priority, making every home I step into a welcoming and secure environment for your pets.
Information Jamie S. would like to know about your pet
In order to provide the best possible care for your pet, it’s crucial that I understand their specific needs and preferences. Here’s what I’d appreciate knowing about your pet: Basic Requirements: Their typical routine for feeding, sleeping, and exercise. Temperament: How they interact with other animals and people, any behavior tendencies or triggers. Health Issues: Any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions that need to be managed. Medications: Any treatments they are receiving, including dosages and schedules. Likes and Dislikes: Favorite toys, activities, and any dislikes or fears that could affect their comfort. Emergency Contacts: Your vet’s information and an emergency contact. This information helps me tailor my care routine to perfectly suit each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and happy in your absence.
A typical day
A Typical Day Engagement is key when it comes to pet care, and I am committed to providing both physical and mental stimulation to ensure a rewarding day for each pet. As a high-energy individual, I am well-equipped to match the enthusiasm of even the most active animals. A typical day with me includes a variety of activities tailored to the needs and preferences of each pet. For dogs, this could mean long walks or runs in the local park, where they can explore and engage with their environment. We might also include interactive play sessions with toys that not only entertain but also challenge them mentally, like puzzle feeders or tug-of-war games. For cats and other pets, I ensure they receive engaging playtime that stimulates their natural instincts, such as chasing lasers or feather wands, which keeps them physically active and mentally alert. Throughout the day, I make sure all pets have plenty of opportunities to rest and recharge, providing a balanced routine that keeps them happy and content. My goal is to make sure that by the time they return to you, they are satisfied and ready for a peaceful evening.
