Neighbor providing additional love

I'm a nature spiritualist from the Great Lakes of Illinois that was raised with a family of animals that included a Siberian Husky, 2 beagles, and an American long hair cat (not to mention our woodland animal friends that grazed around my home). Understanding ethology or the behavior of animals is key. Thus, through study and experience, I have a keen understanding of how animals communicate through experience, and learning from pet trainers growing up. I can learn and respond appropriately to the individual personalities, needs, and desires of dogs with confidence. I consider animals equals and understand pet owners want the best for their furry loved ones. After learning about you, the pet owner, and your family's life, I can provide the care you need. I work full-time, but I am flexible during the week. Also, My weekends are free.

Jamila was amazing with my senior dog Vladimir! She’s helped with feedings and overnights at my house. She is kind, thoughtful, and Vlad loved her! She followed all my instructions and handled my old man with care. We will be asking her to watch Vlad again in the near future! I’m grateful to have found her!

We were so lucky to have Jamila watch our pups for the past two Christmases. She is a trustworthy sitter, and I appreciate the pictures and updates she provided. We will be using her again!

Jamila came when we had a last minute request due to a family emergency. We are so incredibly thankful! We were kept updated throughout the stay so we didnt have to worry about our pups during this stressful time. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned! They seem to enjoy hanging out with Jamila!

Jamila was great. Our dogs were calm and happy when we got home. The cats appeared right away and the chickens even looked settled. Great job.
