Friendly Care for Cats & Dogs 🐾

Hi! My name is Gillian, and I am excited to spend time with your pets! I am currently available for drop-in, house-sitting, or boarding arrangements. I live in a full-sized house with an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood near Shenley Park. I have space to accommodate both energetic pups and lazy bones! I have experience with a wide range of pets, from large breeds like German Shepherds to energetic, medium-sized pittie mixes and long, silky-haired Maine Coons. I look forward to learning about your animals and getting to know their personalities! I know it is important for your pet's comfort to maintain their usual routine. I am happy to follow your exercise, feeding, and oral medication schedules. From long walks to quiet days at home, I will be there for you and your pets. I am also available by phone and text to provide updates. I love taking pictures of my furry friends and sharing them with their owners! I work part-time remotely on a health research project. I currently have a domestic shorthair cat who is spayed, vaccinated, and experienced in meeting new animals. I also have the ability to keep my cat separate from guest pets as needed. I know how important it is for your pets to be safe and comfortable while you are away. In case of an emergency, I have access to 24/7 pet telemedicine and pet recovery services through HomeAgain.

This was our second time leaving Franklin with Gillian and it was great! He was dealing with some separation anxiety and she handled it great and was very communicative about how he was doing. Would recommend Gillian to anyone looking for a new sitter!

Was stressed trying to find a cat sitter last minute and Gillian stepped up! When I dropped off my boy I immediately knew he was in good hands. She’s the 🐐

House Sitting • Aug 24, 2026

Gillian was a perfect sitter for us! She was communicative and made our sometimes anxious senior pup feel comfortable, even during intense storms. It made traveling stress free knowing our dog was being well cared for. We are lucky to have found her!

Gillian took great care of our pup while he stayed at her house! She was very communicative and provided detailed daily updates. We would definitely book with her again!
