A tired pup is a happy pup!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a college student with a life long love for animals! I have been a pet owner for my entire life, and love exercising and playing with pets. I am passionate about a happy dog being a well behaved dog, and have never met an animal that didn’t love me.

Gillian is amazing! She was able to watch our pups for us and sent us plenty of updates throughout the stay. She took wonderful care of Luna and Murphy and worked well around Luna’s quirks.

Words cannot express how wonderful Gillian is!! This was an extended trip and while we were gone an ice storm hit at home. She took great care of our pets and home through the storm, providing lots of snuggles the entire time. ❤️

Gillian is great!! We were new at this and apprehensive. Our dogs took to her without hesitation at the meet and greet. She sent pictures daily to us. Our pets appeared emotionally stable (including the little chihuahua mix who is an emotional basket case on a good day. Lol) and when we returned from our trip, our home was exactly as we left it. We are grateful to have met her and continue to reach out to her every time we need a sitter for our fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two golden retrievers which pull, so if your fur baby pulls on a leash, it is no big deal! In my home I don’t crate my pets anymore, but both are crate trained so I have experience convincing an animal to go into a crate for bedtime, or for their own safety. I think that love is the best way to get an animal to trust you, so I make that a priority during pet sitting and dog park walking services!

Information Gillian W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any particular needs that your dog has! Knowing aversions, triggers on walks, and things that are sure to make your dog happy can help make the service go as smooth as possible!

A typical day

I think it’s important to keep dogs engaged during times when their owners are away! Lots of play time, and belly rubs can keep them happy. On walks I also like to try to take dogs to places with lots of fun things to sniff so they can occupy their minds.

I’m currently a grad student, with primarily online courses, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your animals! One time services, and repeat clients are both equally important to me, and I can’t wait to meet your animals!
