Gillian is the absolute best! Took exceptional care of our dog while we were away and really went above and beyond to ensure his happiness. Sent us great updates and we felt so comfortable and thankful to have him in such good hands while we were away. Could not be happier or recommend her more highly.

A major part of any trip is feeling at peace knowing your pet is well taken care of. I knew my Penny was in good care with Gillian. I so appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you so much! 🤍

Gillian was so great with Oliver. She was easy to communicate with and so welcoming. I felt comfortable leaving Oliver with her for the first time. Gillian provided updates and pictures throughout his stay. We look forward to booking with her again! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I closely follow owner instructions, maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, and ensure plenty of supervision, exercise, and enrichment. For senior pets or those with medical needs, I provide gentle care, including medication administration. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you're away!

A typical day

I love doing everything from snuggling on the couch or bed to long walks to playing tennis ball, frisbee, tug of war. All of the above :)
