Pet care experience

Dog walker, occasional cat servant

I have the pleasure of offering personalised solo and family dog walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs, no matter how oddly specific their quirks may be. I enjoy breaking up their day and taking your old, grumpy or full-of-beans fur family out for an adventure, while they politely pretend not to hear me and immediately investigate my pockets for treats. They will be treated as one of my own, so I apologise in advance if I get attached. They’ll receive plenty of love, patience, and care (and probably a bit of extra chat on the walk… whether they asked for it or not).

Safety, trust & environment

I will do my best to stick to your pet’s established routine, minimise any stress, and help them feel comfortable and settled. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, behaviour, and any other care routines, keeping everything consistent and familiar while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority, whether in the home or out on walks, ensuring a calm and secure environment at all times.

What an absolute diamond! I cannot thank Gillian enough for looking after our girls. The updates and photos were so cute and welcoming and made me so happy to look at after my surgery. I left a notepad with instructions and Gillian followed them to a T - no fuss! Re-booked again as she gives me peace of mind. Thanks again Gillain! 😊

Gillian was so good with Ob dog, she was happy to walk him or when it got too warm just play with him in the shade. She was a very efficient communicator answering any messages straight away and leaving us nice photos every day. Obs is going to miss her and we'll definitely be booking again 😊

Schedule

I made the leap some time ago to ditch the desk job and become a dog walker (and occasional cat servant). It’s a big decision I wish I’d made years ago. There are no “back to work” blues here—I now spend my days outdoors, staying active, and no longer worrying whether it’s raining or not. I take real pleasure in meeting new people and their pets. Being part of their day, and I get to be part of their excitement and adventures, usually involving treats and negotiations over which route we take out of the front door. For the first time in my life, I have a job that doesn’t feel like work, and I feel extremely lucky to be able to do this.

Cats

Gillian can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Whether your pet is young, old, nervous, or reactive, I’m here to help. I tailor my care to meet the unique needs of every pet and owner, making sure they feel comfortable, supported, and at ease throughout—even if that means we take things at their pace, follow their rules, or I spend the first few minutes being quietly judged from a safe distance.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
