Vet student, gentle dog handler!

Pet care experience

In addition to my experience handling and caring for animals in a veterinary setting, I also have an educational background in animal behavior and experience working as a dog walker/daycare assistant in NYC. Of course, I also have experience taking care of my own pets. I am more than happy to accommodate pets with special needs and understand that each animal is unique and requires personalized care. I have cared for animals of all stripes, from rats to mini dachshunds to pit bulls and finches. I have a fearful shelter dog myself and a personal interest in behavior, so I'm not afraid of challenging cases. I'll take the time to get to know your animal personally. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!

Gillian was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. From the moment she stopped by for the "meet and greet," they loved her! And so did our dog, who was traveling with us. She truly has a gift with animals! She was very conscientious, was great about updating us, and obviously took a lot of care both with our critters and our home. She is going to be a phenomenal vet!

Gillian was great! She went above and beyond in caring for our 3 dogs when our travel plans were messed up!

Information Gillian L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a brief history of your time with the dog as well as any known medical or behavioral issues, diet, what the dog's normal behavior is like, favorite toys or activities, how the dog reacts around strangers and other dogs, and if the dog has any known triggers for anxiety or fearfulness

A typical day

I live right near Six Mile Creek and take frequent trips to the many parks in the area. I have some training experience, so I am happy to work on reinforcing good behaviors during a stay. If it is a good match, my 1-year-old dog Opal loves playdates!
