Availability

I work in office 50% and from home 50%, and can be somewhat flexible. I am home and off every weekend, as well as every other Friday. My only set in office days are Monday & Tuesday, therefore can only accommodate drop off/pick up before 7:30 am or after 4:30 pm on Monday or Tuesday. Every other day of the week I can accommodate most drop off/pick up times. Reach out and we can see if my schedule fits your needs! For drop in visits or walks in your home, I’m available before or after work & weekends.

We have a fully fenced yard, a small doggy door in the storm door, and 5 small dogs. If you’re interested in boarding at our home, we would need to do a meet and greet to ensure your dog(s) get along with mine! As long as they do, your pup is welcome to join the pack while you’re away. For drop in visits or dog walks, I have experience with dogs of all sizes & temperaments.

Information Gillian G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. We can only take dog friendly dogs for boarding/daycare. Let’s talk about what will make your dogs stay the best!

A typical day

4 of our dogs are young & full of energy, so there is a lot of playing and romping in our home. I also walk dogs as long as the weather cooperates, sometimes as a pack, and sometimes solo.

Pet care experience

I am a dog person. I live with my partner Mitch, who is also a dog person. I’ve had different pets my whole life, including dogs of all sizes & temperaments, cats & rabbits. Together, we currently have 5 full time dogs, 1 dog we have shared custody of & 2 rabbits. The rabbits have a space in the family room the dogs cannot get to. The dogs are welcome in every other part of the house! We foster dogs as well through a local rescue. It’s hard to know ahead of time if we will have a foster, as you never know when a dog will be adopted. If you have any questions about if we will have a foster dog during your dogs stay, please ask! We love to travel, with and without our dogs. While we try to bring them with us when we can, it’s not always possible. With that in mind, we aim to provide a comfortable, safe, fun, & affordable place for your dog(s) to stay when you can’t bring them with you on a trip. We are a small dog house. Rover doesn’t have great size options for us - but generally around 30 lbs or less is preferred.

Knowing Charlie is in the best hands, is the most wonderful feeling. I couldn’t be happier. Gillian and Mitch are true dog lovers.

Gillian was awesome! I knew I soon as I stepped in her enclosed back yard that she was a dog person who would take great care of our pup. She did not disappoint. She sent us frequent pictures and updates. I know Didi would love to go back again!

Gillian loves my sweet pup as much as I do! She is flexible and so easy to work with. She will always be my top choice for dog care!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
