Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful towards the animal and the clients home. I like a list of directions on how feeding is and any other things I need to know. I cannot have any animals at my apartment at this time but I am willing to travel. I don’t mind if there are cameras or anything because I am confident in my sitting.

Information Gillian H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behavior or triggers or any medication they need to take as well as their feeding schedule and routines that they are used to.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I like to go one walks or runs, I like playing fetch or tug of war. I don’t mind hanging around and lounging either. Whatever physical activists the dog needs I can adapt to.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Gillian! I recently just graduated from SUNY Albany this May. I’m interested in pet sitting and walking dogs! I work full time but have my weekends free and have open time after work during the week. I have had experience with animals my whole life. My family and I have owned 3 dogs. We rescued our dog Harvey, who is a Border Collie last July after our other dog passed away. I also volunteer at the Saratoga Animal shelter where I walk and play with all different types of dogs! Last year I fostered two Pit bull puppies who were 8 weeks old for 6 months so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am very trustworthy, respectful and reliable and I would love to spend my free time meeting more!

Gillian is the BEST! She stayed in our home with our four fur kids for a week while we finally took a vacation. She checked in with photos often, asked questions when necessary, and followed any instructions we had. We hope she will be our routine sitter as we felt very comfortable as did our kids! Thank you again, Gillian!!

Gillian is a very responsible and reliable person. I know my dog gets the best care from Gillian. She always provides updates and takes time to tend to all his needs. She’s a true dog lover who is passionate about caring for animals.

For as long as i have know Gillian she has loved dogs i personally have witnessed her myself be tremendously caring and loving towards her own dogs as well as any other dogs. Any dog who has Gillian to watch over and care for is an extremely lucky dog.
