Pet care experience

Reliable and Friendly, Cat mom!

I’ve always grown up with a dog in my home. I have experience handling a variety breeds of all sizes, from a small 20lb Cairn Terrier to a 185lb Boerboel! I also have experience administering medication which included oral consumption as well as shots. I have been very reliable to my close family members and friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are working or away on vacation! Aside from Rover’s guarantee , I am also separately insured to give you an extra ease of mind when choosing me for your sitting needs!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 25, 2026

Gillian took great care of my pup. I booked fairly last minute and she was able to watch her for two days. My dog was happy and tired from lots of exercise when I picked her up. Gillian was sensitive to having another dog in her care and made sure the two dogs got along before committing to caring for my dog.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pricing: Please understand pricing is non-negotiable. Prices shown on Rover are accurate and up to date (as of March 2026). Initial pricing shown during search is a base rate - additional rates may apply depending on times/ animals that are needing care. An accurate quote will be provided after submitting a request. I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! *Schedule update as of June 2026* House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day, as well as a new part-time in person job! Depending on my schedule, I may not be at your home 24/7, however, I guarantee your pets won’t be alone longer than 5-6 hours, unless stated otherwise. Please clearly state your pets needs, including the time and duration they can be alone - in the event other arrangements need to be made for mid day potty breaks. My coming and going schedule will be provided prior to sitting! Constant Care: Constant care is applied to any sitting that doesn’t allow me to leave for more than 4 hours of the day, per day. Constant care rates start at $175/ night (additional rates still apply) and increase based off of pet’s needs. Please understand this service may not always be available and interferes with ongoing mid day clients. Price reflects alternative arrangements I need to make for existing clients. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently only allow one family for boarding at a time. Prices reflect solo care and not having to worry about exposure to other dogs during their stay. I currently have one cat in the home - a 12 year old Maine Coon mix who is very relaxed and tends to mind her own business. Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!

Pets

A typical day

For boarding clients, we are located right at the top of Mic Mac Cove Campground , providing private and quiet routes for walking at all times of year. Due to the busy road, all dogs are required to be on leash during their outdoor time with me - please keep that in mind. Dogs are more than welcome to come for car rides, hikes, walks away from home if this is something they/ you might be interested!

Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, anxiety triggers, or behavioral quirks ahead of time. I love keeping pets on their normal routine, so details about feeding schedules, potty habits, crate preferences, and favorite toys are super helpful! The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
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.
