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.

Information Jamila C. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special requirements, please let me know to make sure we're a good fit. This may include health conditions, sensitivities or particular behaviors you're working on training.

A typical day

We'll emulate the routine your pets are used to. I love walks, so if your pet needs to get out multiple times a day, I'm their buddy! If weather shortens our outdoor time, we'll improvise with extra indoor play, and spend plenty of time snuggling if they like to cuddle. We can also work on new commands or tricks, reinforcing your current training.

Calm and comforting care

Pet care experience

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.

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.
