Pet care experience

Trusted Pet Care with Love & Fun

Welcome to our family 💛 I truly believe this is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. I’ve loved caring for dogs since I was a little girl, and every dog that comes into my home becomes part of the family. I treat them with the same love and care I give my own little Bichon Frise, because dogs are such gentle souls who simply want to feel safe, loved, and happy. 🏡 My Services I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’ve carefully prepared my home so our little guests can feel relaxed, secure, and loved during their stay. 🐶 I have a private room available if your dog prefers quiet time or personal space. Otherwise, dogs are free to move comfortably around the house and be part of our daily routine. 🌳 We also have a spacious fenced backyard where they can safely play, explore, and enjoy nature. 💧 Filtered water is always available. 🍽️ Additional services such as special meal preparation or bathing can also be requested. 📸 I send daily photos and videos so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. About Me • Lifelong dog lover • Certified Pet First Aid & CPR • Certified Professional Pet Sitter 💛 It’s very important to me that dogs staying in our home are gentle and non-aggressive, since I live with my sweet almost 3-year-old daughter. She is very kind with dogs and loves playing and spending time with them in a calm and loving environment. ✨ We can’t wait to meet you and welcome your furry family member into our home.

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!

I loved leaving my baby with Gillian; she is very kind and you can tell she treated her with a lot of care. I had some doubts at first because Daisy is still a puppy and I thought she might be a bit much for her daughter, but it was quite the opposite. She has a very sweet and gentle little girl with dogs—I’m including a photo so you can see how close they were. She also has a home with a large fenced yard, and she kept me updated by sending several photos throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind.

Gillian took great care of our dog, Monty overnight. She sent several pictures of him playing in her fenced backyard, as well on their walks in the neighborhood. He came home happy and slept well from lots of activity. Gillian was flexible with an early pick up. We plan to use Gillian for care in the future.

Caring for dogs is what I do full-time, so I’m home all day and fully available to give them the attention, care, and companionship they need. I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adapt to each dog’s routine, including walks, playtime, and frequent outdoor breaks.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of fun, exercise, and lots of love. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or long runs, playing fetch with balls or frisbees, and keeping them active and engaged. At home, I have a variety of toys to keep them entertained, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and calm time to relax and feel safe. I always adapt the day to each dog’s energy level and personality, so they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home.
