Pet care experience

Cattitude Enthusiast <3

Thank you for checking out my profile! I’m a Ph.D. student that’s passionate about pet care and making new furry friends :) ⭐️ I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits and other small rodents, and some reptiles! Although I have the most experience with cats, I’m well-versed with animals of all kinds - different species, sizes, temperaments, personalities, and ages. ⭐️ I grew up and have been raised alongside cats all of my life! I petsit all the time for my friends and family and love doing so, and I have worked in residential buildings where interacting with/taking care of other people’s animals, especially cats and dogs, was part of my duties. ⭐️ I believe quick, responsive, and thorough communication is key (and I take a LOT of pictures/videos)! ⭐️ I’m always happy to accommodate the needs of both the owner and their pets, and I do my best to make sure the animals I look after are comfortable, happy, and well taken care of!

Safety, trust & environment

🏡 I have a go-bag of treats and toys to offer when I do check-ins at your home! I’m also very careful to follow instructions for pet care, as I know each animal has its own needs and routines. NOTE: All toys are disinfected and cleaned after every visit. I will always ask permission to bring treats and toys to your home - PLEASE NOTIFY ME if you would prefer me not to!

Gillian is an absolute gem! So glad I found someone in my neighborhood that goes above and beyond in caring for my cats. They were well taken care of while I was away, and her communication helped me feel at ease.

We had a great experience with Gillian: she was on time, communicated well, and our dog was always excited to see her. Would be happy to use her again.

Gillian did a fantastic job looking after my two cats! She was extremely responsive and gave great updates which were appreciated. She even left a cute little toy for them at the end of the visit. Highly recommend!!
