Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Gillian, and I am a new Seattle resident and lover of all animals (but especially dogs!). I grew up surrounded by dogs--Chow Chows, Beagles, Corgis, English Bulldogs, and German Shepards to name a few--and have trained and spent time with doggies of all ages, sizes, ability levels, and health conditions! No matter the dog or the lifestyle, I love ensuring that the dogs around me are having just as much fun as I am! I moved to Seattle from Indiana in February 2020 and have been loving taking time to explore nearby National Forests with friends and their pups. I love going on runs, walks, and hikes with my friends' Shephards and Retrievers, and would love to have more time with dogs in my life! Some of my hobbies include being outside (in any capacity!), photography, and dance. I love taking dogs in my care into the great outdoors and ensuring safe, stimulating, and exciting play times. If you have a high-energy pup who loves to go on runs, I'm your gal! If your dog lives a more low-stress lifestyle and just wants belly rubs and some company, I'm just as happy to oblige. Other pets are just as welcome--I have experience caring for cats, rodents, birds, amphibians, and reptiles as well! No matter what part of Seattle you’re in, allow me to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and in good hands whenever you need them to be watched over.
Reviews
Gillian was great! Warm & friendly and actually went a bit over the 1hr walk which just shows she enjoyed it as much as Bruno did. I’ll definitely be calling on her again :)
Gillian did a great job with my pup! He came back happy and worn out from play! :)
Gillian always takes good care of Angus on their walks and leaves detailed Rover cards which I appreciate! I'm happy to be a repeat client.
Gillian did a fabulous job housesitting and taking care of my dogs while I was away. She sent pics every day and kept me updated on how they were doing. I will definitely be rebooking Gillian again!
About Gillian F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets the same way I would want my babies to be treated! In the home, I hang out with them and ensure they’re comfortable and safe through vigilant monitoring and sticking to routines they know. Before going on walks, you and I will go over leash aggression levels, distance comfort, and walking habits to make sure your pet feels confident and safe at all times.
Information Gillian F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your dog has any schedules or procedures. Sticking with schedules can help make your pup more comfortable while you're away, and I want them to be as happy as possible!
A typical day
I have an SUV, so if you have a big dog or a group that likes to go to a special dog park, we can go wherever they want! I love to keep dogs engaged by running and doing tricks (I have trained several of my own pups and always love finding out what hidden talents dogs have!) as well as playing fetch or just cuddling on the couch!

Availability
I’m completely free for taking care of pets most days. I’ll be starting training as an EMT in early November, but most days I spend doing outdoor adventure and reading!
