Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in and out of your home, I prioritize safety and trust with you and your pets by providing dependable, loving support tailored to your pet’s needs. No matter the need (overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication) I’m flexible in my care style! If you prefer a structured routine or a more relaxed, intuitive approach, I'm able to adapt to what works best for your pet. My goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away, and ensuring you feel connected with your pets by sharing updates and photos during each visit!

Gillian was such a lifesaver recently! My big puppy, Mooji (20-months), recently had TPLO surgery. He was experiencing some complications, and needed to go to the vet last-minute. He doesn't travel in the car well, and I couldn't get him into the car in order to get him to the vet by myself (he's 140lbs.). Though I hadn't met Gillian, and it was last-minute, she came to our rescue with a smile on her face! Such a huge relief for both Mooji and me! She jumped right in to the heave-ho of it all--and Mooji was in the car in a flash! Gillian, thank you so much for your tremendous help the other day! I'll be getting in touch shortly for dog-sitting Mooji, and my two other babies. - Lisa

Gillian did an absolutely amazing job babysitting my dog, Cash! She gave him so much love and attention, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy the whole time. On top of that, she left my house spotless, it was such a relief to come home to a clean space. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

She was absolutely amazing! Our dog can be a little nervous with new people but she was patient with him and by the end of the trip he was sitting on the couch with her.

I can confidently say Gillian is one of the most responsible and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. I've personally seen how gentle and patient she is with my own pets, and how quickly pets warm up to her. She has been a tremendous help with taking my dog on walks while I was stuck working or coming to feed my cats while I have been away. Whether it be administering medication for her roommate’s dog, taking her to her vet appointments, or bathing her, she has cared for other people’s pets like they were her own. Gillian is also incredibly reliable! She is always on time, communicative, and committed to making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Gillian did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I know that my dog greatly enjoyed the company. She kept me updated with pictures as well!

Gillian was absolutely wonderful with my pet! She was warm, attentive, and took the time to ask thoughtful questions beforehand to fully understand my pet’s needs and schedule. She administered medication right on time and kept me updated with messages and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them with the highest care. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything in perfect order. I would highly recommend Gillian and look forward to booking with her again! Lenny was sad to say goodbye to Gillian when I came back from my vacation which made me happy.
