Dog Lover and College Student

Pet care experience

I love caring for animals, and I have a lot of experience caring for pets. I’ve done check ins regularly for an hour or so, all the way through 2 weeks sitting. I give care to your dog just like they are my own - i have two! I like to send you pictures of your dog while I take care of them so you know they’re having a good time! (Plus selfies with dogs is the most fun) As far as my experience I have been dog sitting for 11 years now - it was my first “job” in middle school and now I do it part time to pay for school. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and I’m really good with older dogs especially. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! My schedule is pretty flexible with the exception of my class schedule as I’m still in school. If interested in my services I can happily share my class schedule with you :) I do not bring other dogs to my home as my home has a senior dog who does not meet new dogs well (she’s never violent but she has severe anxiety about new dogs) but I’ve house sat for multiple people with access to their home, and have always left people happy and even happier dogs :) I have also passed a background check if it helps at all. COVID info: I have had COVID already, I have my COVID vaccine and I also got the booster. If needed though I’m happy to get a rapid test for any reason.

Jill was phenomenal with our pets while we were out of the country for vacation. She sent us regular updates and pictures of them. She asked questions to be sure to keep things in tip top shape. She even watered our flowers and new grass. I would recommend Jill to anyone!

Jill is a GREAT dog sitter! She has stayed at our house multiple times now to watch our pups and does a fantastic job. She is always sending pictures, shares updates, etc. so we know exactly what is going on with them and how they're doing! She is more than accommodating and have made us at ease while we're away. I would highly, highly recommend!

Jill is great!!! She stayed with my dog for a week while we were on vacation. She was very easy to communicate with and gave lots of photo updates. She left my house cleaner than I before I left! Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!

Jill did a wonderful job pet sitting our two schnoodles. She kept us well informed with pictures and reassuring updates while we were out of town for 2 evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m used to having a doggy camera in my living place so I am comfortable/familiar with this. I just ask that you inform me where they are so I don’t accidentally change somewhere where there are cameras or something

Information Jill A. would like to know about your pet

If they have any health concerns for sure - I’ve worked with a dog with kushing’s disease so I have handled animals with health concerns with ease, I just need to know. I am breed friendly so any breed is fine! (Though I do have a special spot in my heart for doodles!)

A typical day

For walks I’ll take them around the neighborhood, I give the best belly rubs, I like to take little videos and photos with them, and sometimes I’ll bring treats!!
