Pet care experience

Calm and comforting care

I offer over 30 years of animal experience beginning with my childhood pets, as well as a decade of pet sitting and shelter work. Cats and dogs are my speciality including kittens and seniors, with additional experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, fish, chickens. All small mammals and reptiles are welcome. It's my goal to treat each animal as a unique individual. I draw upon my yoga and mindfulness training to provide a calm and safe environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets are family and your home is your sanctuary, and I'll care for both as if they are my own. While I cannot ever replace your special love and affection, it's my goal to stand in as a trusted friend and protector for your pets. If there is any concerning change in their physique or behavior, or in the rare event they experience illness, I'll respond quickly and communicate with you during the process so they receive the care they need. We'll go over any home care details so you can trust that your home is cared for just as you would, such as mail, security settings, climate control, plant and yard watering.

Jamila is hands down the best pet & home sitter out there. She knows our fur babies and caters to their individual needs and preferences. She is awesome about providing regular updates, sending photos, etc. She is super proactive and keeps notes from prior visits. If you are looking for a professional (!!) pet and house sitter look no further.

As always, Jamila delivered the most thoughtful, conscientious, and caring housesitting services for our pup Millie! We are repeat customers and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Jamila is the most conscientious, kind house sitter. Both of our pets were having some health issues when she arrived and she handled it like a champ! She sent detailed reports, was able to pivot and respond to their medical needs, and even successfully gave a pill to our grumpy old cat. We can’t recommend her more highly and are so thankful to have her available to care for our home and our furry family members.
