Home Is Their Happy Place
Your pets sleep in their own beds, eat in their own kitchen, and follow the routine you already know works for them.
Overnight in-home pet sitting
Their home. Their routine. Your peace of mind.
Dogs are my specialty—and cats are always welcome. With 6 years of in-home pet and house-sitting experience, including 5 years building a loyal client base through Rover, I provide loving overnight care while your pets stay comfortable in the place they know best: home.
✓ 6 years experience
✓ Overnight care only
✓ Free meet & greet
Serving Fredericksburg • Stafford • Spotsylvania • King George, VA
You travel. They stay. I love them like my own. 🐾
Why in-home overnight care?
Less disruption for them. Less worry for you.
Boarding can be stressful for some pets. My overnight service lets your dog—or cat—keep the familiar sights, smells, beds, meals, and routines they already love.
A little about me
Pet sitter by night. Special Education Teacher by day.
During the school year, I’m a Special Education Teacher Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM. I’m upfront about my schedule so you always know what to expect, and I plan each overnight stay around your pet’s routine and needs. And summers? I’m off from school and available to spoil your pets 24/7!

Kind words from pet parents
Six years of trust, repeat clients & referrals.
Nothing means more than the trust of families who invite me into their homes to care for the pets they love.
★★★★★“If you want someone who will love your pets just as much as you do, Jaymie is your person! She has watched my pets many times, and they just adore her. She is reliable, respectful of your home, and communicates consistently while pet sitting. You can expect photos of your fur babies living their best life!”
Stephanie F.Repeat Pet-Sitting Client
★★★★★“My family and I have used Jaymie’s dog sitting services for the past several years. We would not use anyone else. You can leave your home knowing that your pet is well taken care of. Jaymie is so loving and attentive to your pets’ needs. Our dogs past and present did not want her to leave. I highly recommend her services. She is the best.”
Pam O.Longtime Pet-Sitting Client
★★★★★“Jaymie has provided extended overnight in-home care for my dog several times and is my go-to. She provides such good care for my fur baby and accepts that she can be moody and works with her set habits. My dog gets so many walks and playtimes. It is obvious how much she loves having Jaymie stay with her and I never worry about her when I'm gone. Jaymie communicates very well and advises when something is questionable and steps up to correct issues, such as when she noticed a potential ear problem and was able to administer eardrops. She leaves my home immaculate. Jaymie is a lifesaver for my dog since she does not like to travel with me.”
Linda D.Repeat Overnight Pet-Sitting Client
★★★★★“Jaymie has been caring for Harley, our golden retriever, for over three years, and more recently our puppy Lucy, a goldendoodle. She is incredibly loving, attentive, and thoughtful with both dogs. Her attention to detail gives us complete peace of mind, and we always know they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
Our dogs are honestly more spoiled when they are with Jaymie than when they are home with us! She keeps our house spotless and leaves everything just as we left it. She is also excellent at communicating and regularly sends us plenty of pictures and videos, which we truly appreciate.
Jaymie is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our pets. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
Nicolle F.Longtime Overnight Pet-Sitting Client
★★★★★“We absolutely love Jaymie and trust her completely with our dogs! She’s the person we turn to whenever we need someone to stay with them overnight, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely loves them. Our dogs are comfortable with her, and we never have to worry about them while we’re away. Having someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home means so much, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found her. We couldn’t recommend Jaymie enough!”
SamanthaOvernight Pet-Sitting Client
★★★★★“We absolutely loved having Jaymie care for our cats and home! Our cats were happy and well cared for, and we came home to a clean, well-kept house. We truly appreciate the care and attention Jaymie gave them and would happily recommend them to anyone!”
