Pet care experience
I love caring for pets. I’ve worked with animals in a professional capacity: at a vet clinic and most recently as an Adoption Specialist at Best Friends Animal Society. I also used to spend some of my free time volunteering at the local shelter, taking homeless pups out for the best part of their day: walks! It brightens both their day and mine. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I understand doggos need a lot more from us humans, and that’s why I want to help you. Because I work from home, I can organize my day during during the week to accommodate walks or drop ins, when some people are away from their doggies a little longer than they’d like to be. Let’s make your dog’s day more awesome together! As a caretaker, I am gentle but firm. As a walker, I want the dog to get the most out of their walk by letting them choose what they want to do (to a certain extent of course). Whether it’s sniff every single little thing, go forward on a mission as quick as we can (I’m a runner), or mosey along looking at the passing plants, I want them to enjoy their time. I am great at teaching dogs new commands and I love giving love!
Reviews
Gillian is super sweet and flexible! She watched my puppy who is currently healing from a broken leg and my adult dog for 4.5 hours. They seemed to have a great time! She sent me questions when needed, took tons of photos, and left me with details of how it went. Definitely would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter! Thank you again!
Gillian was everything we could’ve hoped for while home, and more. My pup is a rescue who, despite being with us for several years, still has some nervous habits and Gillian knew exactly how to meet and greet her. While we were out, she worked on gaining trust, eye contact and a few reward driven games which I cannot thank her for enough! Not only is this great stimulation for pup but shows her there are strangers she can trust when we’re not around. Gillian did all this of her own volition. We came home to find the mail was brought in and pups bowl had been washed clean. I’m hoping should we travel again, Gillian will be up to watch pup in the future. 12/10 recommend!
Reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and accommodating. Gillian is my pup’s new best friend.
Gillian is very friendly, stayed in constant communication, and helped me feel calm about being able to not worry about my dog while I was gone. My dog is not the best trained dog, but she was able to handle him just fine, very impressed.
