Highlights
Pet care experience
Durham Pet Lover!
I’m a true pet lover! My family always had dogs growing up and I got my first rescue as soon as I became an adult. As a teen, I worked at a vet’s and was the neighborhood pet caretaker. Over the years, I have enjoyed fostering dogs and cats. I am comfortable giving medications and working with senior pets. My personal dogs have ranged in sizes from 5lbs (toy poodle mix) to 130lbs (Great Dane). I love taking my dogs to obedience training and am passionate about the human/animal bond. Currently, I am the volunteer coordinator for my hospital’s dog therapy program. In addition to 1 dog-loving cat, I have 2 sweet little mixed breed pups. One is a chill senior, and one likes to play. If the fit is right, I might also have an occasional easy going foster dog. We are a low-key household. I look forward to adding your pup to the mix!

Ratings and reviews
Great sitter!!!
Pearl had a great time with Jodie and all her four-legged friends. Pearl was worn out when I took her home, which is just what I want! Jodie was communicative throughout my trip, sending plenty of updates and pics. Thanks, Jodie!
Jodie was friendly, responsive and took great care of our dog over Thanksgiving. She was flexible when we had to have someone else drop him off and sent pictures and videos throughout the stay. Highly recommended!
I can leave town with zero worries my dog is going to be just fine. Jodie is such a wonderful dog sitter, she is an absolute go-to
Jodie was available to watch our sweet Shiba with little notice when we decided to sneak away to the beach last minute. Jodie is an excellent communicator, sending frequent photos and updates, and it is very obvious that she makes her canine guests feel comfortable and at home. We highly highly recommend Jodie!
Jodie was very sweet and helped me out last minute. Kream was in great hands and hope to book with her again

Schedule
I work outside of the home 3 days out of the week. My animals use a pet door to explore our fenced in large yard. If you are not comfortable with a pet door, no problem! I am happy to monitor potty/play breaks. I can also crate your pup if that’s what they are most comfortable with. My pets are allowed on the furniture and sleep on the bed, but I totally understand if you do not want your pup to get into the habit.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are a relaxed household and it is not unusual to see both cats and dogs on the couch with me! We go on walks, go to restaurants and take trips places. We are a happy family and look forward to adding a fun companion to our group! If your pup needs a lot of exercisevor is aggressive to cats, this probably is not the best fit. We are a snuggly, loving, and quiet home that welcomes new doggy guests!
Pets
A typical day
Potty breaks in the back yard (I make sure they go out before and after work) and then walks/outings/playtime in the evenings and weekends. This depends on your dog’s wants and needs. I’ve had couch potatoes and activity seekers! Lots of snuggles and love when I’m home. I try to go by what each dog wants to do on their vacation!
