Availability

Petsitting is my focus, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 to 5 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than 1-3 hours, as an example).

Safety, trust & environment

I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot provide them with the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive. In addition to Rover’s Guarantee, I am insured and bonded through PCI.

Information Jaymee D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs/requirements up front, or if your dog is reactive, etc, so I can be prepared for this.

A typical day

I like to play fetch and tug of war with the dogs I care for. I also enjoy taking them for walks. With cats, I like to toss their toys for them to chase, laser pointers, using their stick & ribbon toys, etc.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and they know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. For example, one of my cats has a hyperthyroid and acid reflux and takes pills to manage it, and another has arthritis and takes a liquid medication orally to manage it. I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs and hamsters.

As always when Jaymee stays Stella and the cats are were well taken care of and in a much better mood than when they have to go somewhere else.

We had never used a pet sitting service before and Jaymee put us to ease answering all of our questions and even stopping in for a few trial visits when our dog was a bit worried about the situation. She was wonderful to communicate with and gave many updates while we were away. She’s a great pet photographer too!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
