Animal Loving Human Being!

Pet care experience

I have had animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even a snake. I have always offered a helping hand when friends and family needed help, so I am trying to turn it into a job! I currently have a dog and two cats that are well loved and get plenty of attention and play time. My youngest dog is 3 years old and I have trained her by myself. I can help with potty training and some basic puppy skills if needed. I believe all dogs are their best when they are tired, so if I get the chance to play with your puppy its a promise they will get plenty of exercise!

Gillian did a wonderful job watching our crazy kitties while we were gone! She sent regular photos of them and played with them. She was very involved in their playtime and active in their food and other needs. Would totally book again!

Thank you for taking such good care of Lexie. This was our first time using Rover services and Gillian was awesome.

Jill was awesome from the moment I contacted her until she finished sitting. It was very short notice when I initially contacted her, she answered me very quickly and set up a time to meet the same day. She sent me pictures and communicated very well throughout her stay. My house looked like no one had even been here when I got back home. Jill is awesome and very knowledgeable about dogs! I will definitely be using her again in the future. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I don't offer my home to other animals due to varying circumstances. However, in your home I would do whatever you needed me to do. I prefer to walk dogs three times a day for the bathroom. I always use doggy bags to clean up the mess. Feeding routines would be kept to however you normally do it. Down time would be spent with pets and cuddles, and play time could be done in the yard or at a dog park. Whatever you are more comfortable with!

Information Gillian M. would like to know about your pet

I would really love to know how your dog behaves, especially around children or other dogs. Any other information you feel I should know ahead of time is always appreciated. It is good to know whether or not a dog is leash trained, though it isn't a big deal if they aren't.

A typical day

I will take your dog to whichever dog park is closest to your home, if that is something you would like. Fetch, sniff and sneak, pets and plenty of scratches will be provided. I absolutely love giving dogs baths, weird I know, so if that is something you would like me to do just say the word!

I currently work part time at my uncles restaurant, on Sunday's and Tuesdays. My work day is over by 4, so on those days I could be there in the evening. On the other days you can find me hiking with my dog or playing fetch in the yard.
