Pet care experience

I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and 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. One of my cats has asthma and takes pills to manage it. I have experience caring for my sister’s chihuahua, and caring for hamsters as my sisters and I had them as pets growing up.

Jaymee is great. Even made a special trip back to the house to take care of an issue when I was out of the country. Thank you so much!

Excellent sitter!! I was thrilled to find someone who could administer meds to my cat, plus she voluntarily cleaned litter boxes!!! My cats quickly accepted her and enjoyed all the attention she gave them. Definitely would recommend!

Jaymee was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our girls during a two week vacation! She understood their different personalities and gave our shy kitty enough space to feel safe. The cats were super well cared for and were happy when we got back. We are excited to use her again for our next trip!

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 keep up with them enough to give them the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive.

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.

Availability

Petsitting is my main job at the moment, 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 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 an hour or two, as an example)l.
