Stanley loved daycare with Gilian
Gillian is the absolute best!
Thank you for doing a wonderful job with Luna. She loves her days with Gilian.
Gilian was nothing short of amazing with our pup, Carlton. She was very responsive to any communication during the booking & meet and greet process. She is friendly and very knowledgeable about dogs! She provided great care and navigated our dog's initial anxiety very well, all while keeping us updated every step of the way. Our family loved the daily updates and pictures she sent. Carlton came home happy as ever, and it was obvious that he was very well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Gilian again!
Clear communication with daily pics and a description of our dogs day in Gilian's care. Highly recommend if you're looking for great care for your family member.
Gilian took was a wonderful sitter for my 1 1/2 year old golden. My boy is spoiled and he gets lots of attention at home so I knew I wanted someone that would be with him full time. Gillian would send me pictures and updates daily and I could see he was having a blast with the other dogs there. I felt my pup was in good hands and will definitely have Gilliam watch him again.

Schedule
My pups run off of routine, we live for it! Routine is super important to all dogs. Just like how a routine is needed for a child, only these are fur babies.

Pets
A typical day
My backyard is big, and there’s plenty of new smells to discover. I have two buckets full of toys ranging in various chew levels-I have nylabones, Benebones, antlers, solid rubber tennis balls, and more! For my soft chewers I get two monthly bark boxes to stay on top of sanitizing, we cycle through these toys weekly as they are soft stuffed toys. I have food puzzles, snuffle mats, slow feeders, and provide daily training in my routine for mental enrichment. Let alone your dog will never be lonely!
