About us
Meet Jamie
Owner of Lazy Days Pet Sitting Service
Jamie has always had a love for animals. She grew up helping take care of her family’s goats, dogs, cats, and rabbits and as she got older, she knew she wanted to turn that passion for animal care into a professional career.
Jamie got her start at Hicks Animal Clinic in Rocky Mount, where she provided care to several small animals first as a kennel assistant and later as a veterinary assistant.
After completing Penn Foster’s certified veterinary assistant program and earning an Associate in Applied Science in Equine Technology, Jamie decided to put her animal care skills to use by establishing her own pet-sitting business in the Twin Counties area. Over the years, Jamie has watched her hard work and passion create continued growth after satisfied clients referred friends and family members to the business.
Jamie is a firm believer that proper animal care education is a lifelong journey. She’s Pet First Aid Certified, certified in equine nutrition, and is a certified pet sitter with completed several courses in small animal and equine health.
For Jamie, it’s all about those moments when a pet who was previously nervous suddenly trusts enough to come to you for affection. It’s those moments when a dog lays down on your lap to take a nap. It’s Jamie’s wish that every pet feels safe and relaxed in Lazy Days’s care and as professional pet care providers, it’s our passion to do everything in our power to make sure that happens for you and your pet family.
Shireen D.
“Jamie is absolutely wonderful with all my pets! She always takes the best care of them and they all love her, even the cats who hate everyone. She’s been a godsend since I moved to the area last year.”
