Safety, trust & environment

I own my own cat, so I am unable to take your pets into my own home. However, I am happy to visit or stay in your home to care for your pets.

Information Gillian L. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have anxiety? Are they aggressive towards people/other dogs? My favorite dogs are huskies, cocker spaniels, and Australian shepherds, but I love all of their little furry faces.

A typical day

I love to hang out with dogs that are having fun. Sometimes that means playing fetch in your backyard, sometimes it means a long walk around the neighborhood, sometimes it means finding a new stick for puppy to carry around. If your dog is a little wary of strangers, I will take the time to gain their trust with parent-approved treats before I try to take them anywhere. I also love playing with cats, but I know some cats don’t take to strangers well, so I will always move at their pace.

Your dog’s future BFF!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Now, I have a cat, and I would love to spend some time with your puppers and also take a load off your plate! I used to walk dogs through Wag, so I’m accustomed to meeting and befriending new dogs very quickly. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’d love to hang out with your pups! All services up to two dogs. Dog walking: I’ll walk your dog(s) for 30-60 minutes. My parents’ dog is not very well socialized, so I know how to keep an anxious dog comfortable and under control. Drop-Ins: I’ll feed your dog, take them out, and play with them for a while - whatever you request! House-sitting: All of the above PLUS I’ll stay overnight, water your plants, and bring in your mail.

Gillian was the very best! Delightful, friendly, prompt and gently with our two somewhat elderly couch potato hounds! I’d use her again ANYTIME or place. Highly endorse & recommend Gillian.
