Hello! My name is Gillian and I have always had a special place in my heart for caring and spending time with animals. I have a total of 6 years of experience working at two different dog daycare/pet boarding facilities where I had the responsibility of caring for all kinds of animals while boarding, overseeing dog groups during daycare, keeping an eye on their overall health, as well as some basic dog grooming. I had tons of fun watching the dogs play and keeping them entertained and loved, but of course my main job was to make sure that everyone was behaving themselves and playing safely. I had plenty of training on dog-to-dog and dog-to-human behaviors that let me know what was okay and what was not and how to prevent any fights. When an animal was boarding, I was responsible for keeping their living area clean and comfortable, providing food and water to the owner’s preferences, giving medications when necessary, keeping watch over any concerning health or behaviors, and making sure any other expectations the owner had were met. I was also required to become dog CPR certified. I have had the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, sizes, and health needs of dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, and rats. Several of the dogs and cats in our care I’d seen through to the end of their lives. I learned how to manage older dogs and cats health and the many different ways of assisting them in living their life as comfortably and safely as possible. I’ve learned about different warning signs for possible emergency or life threatening health situations and what to act fast on. As much as I hope nothing ever happens to your baby, I am still equipped to handle emergencies. I also have two small dogs of my own. One is a very shy and sensitive lil fella with major allergies who I’ve learned to adapt to. The other is a teensy little rascal that I’ve had since he was just under 2 months, so I have professional and personal experience working with and caring for puppies! I love to help all that I can with your pets, but unfortunately I am quite small myself and won’t have anyone else around to help! I have the most experience with dogs and work best with smaller dogs, but I can work with any size dog that is cooperative and confident around strangers. I love big dogs so very much, but I know that there are some that I just will not be able to work with safely on my own. Let me know what I can do for you and your pet(s) and I will be happy to do it and give the best care possible for your pet!
