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!

Having Gillian check- in on Miles and update us made us more comfortable leaving him. Her updates were fun and helpful for us.

Gillian was a pleasure to have as a sitter for our babies (4 cats, 2 dogs). I haven’t used Rover before so I was a bit nervous but she put any worries at ease. She is professional and communicative, and was very patient with my two German shepherds. One of them has some anxiety and I can tell she took the time to make sure she was comfortable. She accommodated a last minute change in schedule with grace and understanding. We would love to have her again anytime!

I believe She was wonderful with the BOYZ. She is very dependable and made us feel very relax that our BOYZ were in good hands.

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 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 6 hours at a time, 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 can likely be provided upon request. For clients who allow my partner to join me on my sittings (who is insured under my private sittings insurance), there is the ability to offer more frequent potty breaks as him and I typically work opposite schedules. No other guests/ friends/ family will ever join me during a dog 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 $200/ 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, as well as my availability for my other job. 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!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Gillian can host up to 3 pets per night
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.
