Experienced Sitter in West Philly
Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is Gillian and I would love the opportunity to meet your furry best friend! I became a part time sitter because I have a true love for animals that I haven’t been able to explore within my current field of work. I’m hoping to gain experience to switch gears and start a career I’m passionate about. I grew up with a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and hamsters. And have experience with care of both puppies, kittens and senior cats/dogs. My family and I love animals and have owned Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers to name a few breeds! We have also rescued 3 cats and I currently have my own long haired beauty living with me in West Philadelphia. I have prior experience as a Veterinary Assistant and although the position was short lived I gained great knowledge pertaining to both dog and cat care, handling and health. I look forward to continue to further my experience with animal CPR training in the near future! I also have reliable transportation in case of an emergency. I understand your pet is family and I can ensure responsible and tentative care when with me!
Reviews
Gillian did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend! She sent me lots of photos (which I know every pet parent loves) and was very punctual and professional! Needless to say, I felt very safe leaving them in her care. Would definitely recommend to any other owners looking for a kind and reliable sitter.
Gillian is doing such a great job!!! Our kitties are so happy!!
Gillian did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat! She is very responsive to messages, wrote detailed notes to let me know how each visit went, and even took the cutest pictures. I felt like she really took her time and connected with him, doing above the minimal amount needed at each visit. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks Gillian!
Gillian was great with my new puppy while she had her first days at home while I went to work. I really appreciated her thorough updates especially addressing any of my worries about the puppy getting used to her crate. Would definitely book her again!

Let me know if your furry friend is shy, outgoing, or needs specific attention and care! I am always keen on providing a comfortable experience for your pet and want to ensure the best possible outcome while you are away.
A typical day
When meeting new animals I always try to let them decide what they’re comfortable with when a stranger comes to pay visit! If they’re just looking for pets, playtime or too shy to say hello. I am always patient and strive to keep my visits a great experience for both the pet and their parents!
