Rate: From $45pd / $300pw

I operate on a sliding scale starting at no cost for anyone who needs more accessible care through a barter.

Otherwise, daily rates are $45-75 per day depending on the number of pets and work volume.

Jamila

Jacqueline (Jamila): 39, Author

Calm and comforting care ~ I'm a writer and traveler, always excited to meet my next spirit animals.

EXPERIENCE
30+ years with pets
5+ years pet sitting
4 years' animal shelter experience

Pets are family and my home is my sanctuary, wherever I am staying. I'll treat your animals and home as my own, hopefully leaving behind even more beauty than when I arrived :)

MY COMMITMENT
+ I'll make sure your animals & plants are cared for the same way you do.
+ I'm ultra tidy with high attention to detail.
+ My work is done remotely, so I'm around to keep an eye out.
+ Daily updates provided so you can remain connected to your fur babies and have peace of mind while traveling.
+ I'm a quiet and friendly neighbor.

ANIMALS
+ Cats & Dogs
+ Reptiles (including snakes)
+ Rabbits
+ Chickens
+ Guinea pigs, mice and small rodents
+ Fish

Special Care: In addition to daily feedings, exercise, play and cuddles, I can administrate medications (including shots & syringes), reinforce current training programs and tend to both
young and seniors.

PLANTS
Gardens are my happy place. I trained for several weeks in a nursery and homestead and am continuing to improve my horticultural skills. I love to cook and use fresh ingredients from the garden.

+ Indoor & outdoor
+ Basic feeding, watering, pruning
+ Harvesting
+ Sharing positive affirmations

"She was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Bowie. He was happy, healthy, and smiling from ear to ear when we got back. She was super communicative, responsive, and sent us tons of pictures of our guy when she was staying with him too! We'd love to have Jamila stay at our house anytime." -Colin, dog dad

"Looks like a very happy guy. He's very luck to have you!" -Maggie, dog mom

"You're Lucy's new godmother!" -Lynsey, dog mom

"It's such a relief to come home to a clean home with our girl taken care of. We're so grateful." -Zubin, dog dad

Below are some recent AirBnB reviews:

"[They] were great guests! Very nice to interact with and kept our place in good condition on check out. Also super quiet during her stay with us. We would happily recommend her to others and hope to see her again!" -Jacqueline, CA

"Jamila was an excellent guest. We hardly heard any noise when she was there. I had the pleasure of meeting her and she was respectful and polite. Definitely will love to have her back!" -Elsa, CA

"Beyond gracious, [they] were the perfect guests... They could not have been more generous in attitude when our AC went out. They were pleasant. reasonable and even consoling when our well pump gave out briefly. These are the kind of guests you would want to host. Highly recommended." -Lale, CA

We could not have asked for a better person to stay in our house and take care of our dogs, cat, rabbits and chickens. Jamila is an excellent communicator, she asks lot of questions and follows all the instructions very well. She was excellent with all the animals, she kept the house very clean and even cooked a welcome meal for us. We would definitely love to have her back next time we leave for our vacation. Thank you, Jamila, for a job well done!
