Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard (privacy fence), and we live in a quaint neighborhood with lots of safe walking options. We love playing outside in the fresh air, or we can chill inside if that’s more your style! No matter what, my fur baby will love playing with yours!

Information Jamie S. would like to know about your pet

How old is he/she? What are his/her favorite activities? Do they have any allergies? What are their favorite treats? What is their medical history that I should be aware of? Are they good with other animals and with babies? How often would you like me to walk them?

A typical day

We will walk around the neighborhood, play at the park, inside the house and in my fenced-in backyard. We love playing fetch! I always make sure water bowls are filled up and we don’t get too tired or overheated. My pup loves to be outside laying in the sun or come inside and cool off in the AC!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs as pets my whole life (that’s four decades of experience!) I have a service animal named O’Hare who I have assisted in training since he was 5 months old. He is a beautiful black lab, neutered, 65 lbs and 4 years old. We go on 4-to 5 walks a day and play fetch until my arm gets tired! I am a stay-at-home-mama to my 5-year-old daughter and O’Hare (see Experience section :) I am available 24/7 to sit for your fur baby. We live in a quiet neighborhood in Lafayette, IN. We live in a roomy home with a fenced-in backyard. My dog has many doggie friends in our neighborhood that we love meeting at the park for play dates! I walk my lab several times a day; he and my baby LOVE being outdoors! With these two in tow, I can only accept pets that are good with other dogs and children. Thank you for understanding. For inclement weather, I follow the guidelines of local leadership. If churches/schools are closed I will not risk driving in dangerous conditions either! I have a fenced-in yard, a city park close by, lots of options for safe walking around our neighborhood, a fur baby of my own for a companion, if required I have a huge dog crate (the strong plastic kind with a soft blanket inside that’s way more comfy than the metal type!) that I keep inside in the air conditioning on hot summer days OR I can happily come to your home for check-ins if you prefer your fur baby stay in their own known environment.

Was able to come on short notice and watch my pets. Was fantastic and sent detailed updates and pictures. Made sure to include all pets in the pictures, which was amazing.

We were very nervous leaving our fur baby home for the first time. Jamie was wonderful, she spoiled our Penny and sent tons of pictures. It was a great experience for both pup and parents. Our son loved getting to see his dog each night before bed and felt like he didn't miss her as much as when we've boarder her in the past. We will definitely be using Jamie again if we can't take Penny with us or habe grandparents babysit!

Jamie was fantastic with our senior kitty Pan, from lots of updates for us and extra skritches for Pan! And Jamie did great with Pan’s food and medication routine!
