Safety, trust & environment
Safety and animal welfare are my #1 top priority, animals are extremely intuitive and demanding individuals. With their strong personalities, and my long-standing experience in connecting and building individualized bonds with all animals, I'm firmly confident in my abilities to ensure a secure, safe, protected and loving environment for your pets, so that no part of their routine is disturbed while your away. All animals have distinctive memory, during my visits I positively verbally engage with the animals based to reinforce voice memory and to help them feel at ease, calm and recognized as the wonderful individuals they are.
Information Jayne L. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any medical or special needs that I should be aware of ? Any dietary restrictions or preferences? Current or previous health concerns to note? Just let me know!
A typical day
I love to stimulate animals physically and mentally. Playing interactive and engaging games with their favorite toys, treats or even encouraging new tricks for heightened stimulation. On walks, letting the dog walk me more so they can stop to smell all the things they've wanted to smell for a while, and see all the fire hydrants or flowers they've been wanting to check out. With cats, I will use any wands, fake mice or toys they have, and will play with them until their hearts completely content. I recognize fish have memory and I've taught my own fish tricks in the past, I will be sure to gather any preffered details you have about how your pet likes to enjoy their play time and will happily meet their needs.

I am experienced in administering IV Fluids, oral medications and injections to K-9 and Felines. Animal welfare is my top priority as I am an long-standing animal rights activist and 8+ year vegan /12+year vegetarian. Compassionate, quality and safe animal care is my number one goal every single day. In 2015 I rescued my girl Diva From the Oregon Humane Society's Second Chance program, my now Feline companion had been returned to the shelters a whopping 5 times for behavioral trait "issues". When I met this girl, I could not believe how sweet she was and was shocked to hear of her traumatic past. Having raised many cats over the years I felt in my heart she would be a good fit regardless of her adoption/return story. After spending just 10 minutes with her in the bonding room, I decided to bring her home and give her a permanent place of comfort and peace. She has been the absolute best companion and furry friend to have around. After settling down from her traumatic history, she came out of her shell and became the most playful, cuddly curious little protector. Post-Shelter, Diva Leads a happy life running in the fenced yard with our chickens, crows and blue birds. Our newest addition to the fur clan includes Deja Vu a little kitten rescue from the Humane society. She has been a wonderful addition to our menagerie, spending most of her time figuring things out at as a growing kitten, she truly couldn't be any more compatible with our elder, Diva. Please reach out for any questions. I cannot wait to meet your fur friend/s/family! I am currently a student and active volunteer, I am looking to add work into my schedule where ever possible. I am very flexible and love to be up in the early morning. I have a fenced yard large enough for dogs to run around and play in, a spacious home that is stress free. Thank you for considering me as your compassionate pet sitter!

Reviews

Jayne ceases to amaze me. Always the professional with nothing but love and joy for the animal friends she takes care of. Her visit synopsis fill me with comfort and smiles as do the moments she captures in pictures. Thank you Jayne, you are the best.


Pet sitters don't come any better than this. Jayne is the best! She gave our kitties lots of love and even our shy girl came out of hiding for pets. She provided lots of notes and the photos were awesome and reading them provided us with a fun routine at breakfast and dinner. I was able to focus on having an amazing vacation, worry free. Words can't really express how grateful we are to have found Jayne! ❤️

Jayne was incredibly attentive and caring with our sweet girl, Penny. Her report cards were written with intention and care. Thank you for all of the hard work and love, Jayne!

Jayne was absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t imagine anyone taking better care of our sweet Bobby. We received daily photos and notes about Bobby’s day and it put our minds at ease. Bobby is very old and we were worried about leaving him. He ate well for her and seemed genuinely happy. In addition, we found our house in perfect condition. Thank you Jayne!!!
