Highlights
Pet care experience
Shelter-Trained Pet Care!
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Jay is the person I trust with my animals. She cares about them just as much as I do and has knowledge to help me out when it comes to training and nutrition. Jay is calm, sweet, and attentive to the animals she cares for. I recommend anyone who can to have Jay watch your pets! She is the best!
Jay has been an exceptional dog sitter. She is reliable, has never canceled, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my pet is well cared for. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every interaction. I especially appreciated the regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was always prompt, professional, and thoughtful. I highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jaynia has taken wonderful care of my dog and she is an incredible caregiver. My pet was provided with consistent exercise, play time, mental stimulation, and meals- and lots of affection! I was provided with regular updates on how my dog was doing while in her care and I greatly appreciated the photos and videos. With Jaynia's background in animal care, I felt comfortable and confident that my pet was in great hands.
Jay was a fantastic cat sitter for Ripley! She is a very experienced Humane Society worker and knows a ton about animal behavior and needs, and cares very deeply about them. Jay was always communicative, sent great photos, and really took her time to get to know Ripley and his personality and preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend Jay to care for your pets! I’d absolutely still be booking with her if we still lived in the same town.

Schedule
I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect.
