Gillian was great, she took great care of my dog. She gave me updates and was quick to respond and was very punctual. I would definitely reccomended her and she will be the first person I reach out to whenever I need a dog sitter moving forward.

Gillian watched my large Newfoundland/Poodle mix, Denali, many times for me over the course of a year. She would take her for walks or just spend time with her while I was away or at work or both, and always did an impeccable job. She would always send me updates via text (photos, videos, etc) to reassure that Denali was safe and happy throughout the day. She also followed my instructions exactly, and would text me immediately with any questions she may have had. Not only is Gillian extremely responsible, prompt, and communicative, she is also kind and a true animal lover. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone who needs help with their canine family members, she can handle it all!

Safety, trust & environment

I live with two dog-loving roommates who would be tried and true playmates for your pups! Our apartment has a good size living room and hallway for inside play, and we live right near Riverside park. I've stayed in others' homes while caring for their dogs for extended and overnight stays and I am courteous, clean, and respectful of your space and privacy.

A typical day

I live right next to Riverside and love going for walks there or in central park! I also like going to the local dog parks!

Ahead of time, I'd like to know any special needs your pet has, what kind of activities they enjoy, and their energy levels. Notes: 1. Out of respect of my roommates I do not accept dogs that are not house trained or have a history of frequent accidents. 2. Please ensure that your dog is clean when they come to me!
