Highlights
Pet care experience
Minneapolis walking ☺️
Welcome to my Rover profile! I think I stand out from other sitters because of my animal care background! I grew up on a farm where I cared for animals every day - including lots of dogs and cats! Growing up, my family trained and showed German Shepherds where I learned a lot about handling and caring for large breeds. I also have 5+ years of experience working at animal shelters - as well as having 2 rescue dogs at home! We attend weekly classes with our rescue shepherd since he has leash reactivity issues where I'm continuing to learn and grow with him each time. Our other dog is going through therapy dog certification where we hope to one day bring her to Childrens Hospital as a therapy dog. I have a lot of experience caring for cats as well. I feel comfortable giving medications, eye drops, or dealing with shy or uncertain cats- I have yet had a cat that didn't warm up to me! I am passionate about animals and providing the best care possible for every dog and cat. I'm doing this as a side hustle currently so Tuesay-Thursday I can't do drop ins or walks during the work day (before or after work is fine! Or Lunch time walks/drop ins at 12pm are great too). Otherwise, I have a very flexible schedule and always invite people to send over last minute requests! Sometimes I work from home randomly or can leave for an emergency drop in - just let me know :)

I ALWAYS put the animals first! I believe in Positive Reinforcement training and take as much time and effort as each animal needs every day. I am so passionate about providing the best care for all animals and giving them the best day- every day!
Ratings and reviews
Jamie was amazing!! She was so attentive and loving to our cat, Iris, and made sure to give her lots of love. All of the pictures were truly appreciated and made us feel like Iris was in very good hands. We will definitely reach out to Jamie again!!
Jamie is so great!! Very communicative and responsible. Archie loves to go on walks with her! Thanks again!
Jamies’s great! Super responsive and responsible, clearly a dog lover!
We couldn't be happier with care Jamie provided for our two cats, Chester and Cici. Jamie kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jamie is reliable, kind and attentive and we highly recommend her.
Jamie was amazing looking after Archie for a couple hours. He’s still getting used to meeting new people so I appreciate the thoughtfulness and care! She also sent lots of updates !
Thanks so much for taking Archie on a walk, he felt very comfortable with you and I appreciate you going at his own pace!

Schedule
I'm so lucky because I work mostly remotely so my schedule is very flexible! I just got engaged and we are looking for ways to bring in a little extra money for the wedding - and I instantly thought this would be PERECT! I am very active and go for walks every single day - so why not add some dogs into the mix and make a little extra money?! I am a morning person so early mornings work great - otherwise I'm always taking a lunch time break so a mid-day walk works perfectly as well! I currently work in office Tuesday- Thursday so lunch time drop ins/walks won't work (but I invite people always to check because I often work from home and can do drop ins these days!) Otherwise Friday-Mondays mid day drop ins work great or any days before 9am or after 3pm I can swing over :)
