Safety, trust & environment
I am highly detail orientated and will ensure all your care instructions are followed. I will double and triple check that your house is securely locked at the end of every visit. We have a dedicated, safe area in our own home for small, caged animals that come to stay that is separated from our dog.
Ratings and reviews
Gillian was absolutely wonderful and took exceptional care of my cat while I was away\. She provided detailed updates every day, including photos of his food bowls, and let me know how many pees and poops he had each visit, which gave me great peace of mind\. She spent quality time playing with him, brushing him, taking him out onto the patio, and giving him lots of love and attention\. She also kept me informed about his energy levels and overall well\-being\. The photos and videos she sent showed just how relaxed and comfortable he was with her, which was incredibly reassuring\. In addition to taking such wonderful care of my cat, Gillian kindly watered my plants and was always responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with\. Gillian is professional, dependable, and has a genuine love and respect for animals. Knowing my cat was in such caring hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy pet sitter.

Thank you Gillian for taking such good care of our little babies while we got through this tough time! They are definitely going to miss you! See you in August!
The cats love you! I appreciate you taking on the extra week at such short notice, it’s so much help and I know they’ll be well taken care of each morning ☺️
I think the kitties love you best now 😂 Thanks for helping us through this rough last week and for being available to extend for a second week! Mr Business and Princess Donut run to the door anytime there is a knock or a noise at the door now - day or night - because they think you’ve arrived to feed them and play!
This was our second time booking Gillian to look after our cat and she is phenomenal! Our cat is very hesitant to open up to other people but he got comfortable with Gillian right away!
Gillian is an absolute delight. Our cat is shy and enjoys his privacy but he warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend!

Schedule
As a retiree I am looking to fill my free time around walking my own dog. I am open to drop in sits and extended visits to make sure your fur babies get all the attention they need. Also happy to consider overnight stays as well.
- CatsGillian can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
