Safety, trust & environment
I have one dog who gets along with every dog we’ve boarded in the past. I also have two cats who have their own space when other animals are visiting. Dogs are walked 2-3 times per day or more often if needed.
Home
Information Jill A. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to walk small dogs that are in their own homes. I accept large dogs to board. I’m familiar with and enjoy most breeds but please no dogs trained in any aggressive behavior.
A typical day
We have great paths in our neighborhood to walk and discover new smells. We can play fetch or tug of war for playful pups. Lots of cuddles and affection given throughout the day.

Pet sitter for 30 years
Pet care experience
As a pet owner for most of my life, I know and appreciate the love and joy animals bring to our lives. My husband Sean and I been pet sitting for over 30 years and I have a background as a vet assistant. We’ve always sought to provide a safe and welcoming place for other’s pets to come to when they have to be away from them. We hope to create a “home way from home” experience for each pet. They are treated like part of our family where their individual needs and wants can be met. We have plenty of fun walking and sniffing in our wooded neighborhood, playing with toys and receiving lots of love and attention. Basic grooming is also provided when requested. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds and would love the chance to meet and care for your pet!

Reviews
Great sitters, they are communicative, caring, and professional, and are great with our pups. Thank you for watching our fur babies!
Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️
