Pet care experience

Trusted Pet Care with Love & Fun

Welcome to Our Family 💛 I provide personalized care for small breed dogs only in my home. I am home all day, which allows me to give each dog the time, attention, and love they need. Every dog is unique, so I tailor my care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. I keep track of feeding, water intake, potty breaks, mood, and playtime to ensure they are happy and comfortable. My goal is to provide a safe and loving “home away from home,” with a calm environment designed especially for small dogs. 🏡 My Services I offer a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment. 🐶 Private space available for dogs who prefer rest or their own area. Otherwise, dogs are free to enjoy the home and daily routine. 🌳 Fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. 🎾 Structured playtime activities to help develop skills, stimulate their mind, and encourage healthy habits. 💧 Fresh filtered water always available. 🍽️ Special meals and bathing available upon request. 📸 Daily photos and updates included. ⸻ About Me • Lifelong dog lover • Certified Pet First Aid & CPR • Certified Professional Pet Sitter ✨ I look forward to welcoming your furry family member!

Gillian was wonderful! She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. She was kind, communicative, and took great care of our dogs. We’d happily book with her again!

Gillian is a caring and dedicated sitter. I had my two pups, Fergus and Khalisee with her for four days and not only did she send pictures daily but showed then on walks, and various activities throughout the time they were with her. Her house is immaculate, her yard is great for my pups. I would highly reommend her for a great experience for yourself and your pets. Thank you soo much for how well you took care of my two littly crazies.

Gillian was excellent with cooper. Right from the beginning cooper felt at home and I knew I had picked the right environment for cooper I will certainly use her again. Her home was beautiful and cooper enjoyed the Yard. Cooper and her dog got along very well.

I had an excellent experience leaving Mila with Gillian. She was very attentive and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. She also took the time to ask about Mila’s preferences and any special instructions, showing how much she truly cares. Gillian is both professional and kind, and I would absolutely trust her again for future care. Highly recommended!
