Experienced home/pet sitter and walker.
Pet care experience
Hi and thanks for looking at my profile. I'm an experienced, reliable and trustworthy sitter and dog walker. I have decades of owning various pets myself and looking after pets for others. References can be supplied from existing pet owners if required. I love the outdoors and nature, wet dog walks, muddy fields, licks, sniffs, throw and catch. And the pets do too! Driver and non-smoker. I will be completely respectful of your home and beloveds. Happy to chat to answer any questions you might have.
Reviews
Jill is fab. Flexible and accommodating and was also available at short notice. My dog loves her! She's also good with training and understanding my dog's needs, etc. Will book again.
Jill is fab and made a real effort to get to know me and Ruby before looking after her. I felt very reassured that Ruby was in safe hands. The house was also clean and Ruby was tired and happy when I returned home. Would recommend Jill to others and will rebook.
Jill has looked after my dog on numerous occasions. My dog absolutely adores her. She is always so pleased to see her. She is a lovely lady and very trustworthy.
Jill looked after my cocker spaniel for 5 years at weekends and holidays. My dog was always so happy to see her because Jill gave her plenty of exercise and took her on adventures. I knew my dog would always be safe and treated like a member of Jill’s family.

Safety, trust & environment
I have looked after a dog every weekend in my own home for the past 5 years and have pet sit in the homes of others many times. I also love animal company! I love the bonds animals have with us and every new sit is a potential new buddy. It's important I think to continue a pet's routine by keeping their home environment the same as far as possible whether their owner is there or not. To recognise when they want to play, rest or toilet.
Information Jill B. would like to know about your pet
Is the dog OK to be let off the lead or would you prefer not? Many dogs don't have great recall away from their regular owner/walker so I always keep your dog on a lead unless you ask me not to. Are they good with other dogs when out? Do we need to be aware of triggers such as cats, children, traffic, noises? What is their routine? What quirks do they have? Where do/don't they like to be touched? It's all very important to ensure a pet is as happy and comfortable as possible when with me. Also do you want photos and updates? I will have many!
A typical day
I keep a variety of toys in my home and car to allow each pet the stimulation or down time they like. I have squeaky toys, tug toys, ball singers, furry pals to cuddle (or rip apart!). I vary dog outings to allow new sights, smells and experiences. I'm happy to go to pet friendly places such as cafes to allow them to meet and mingle. I'm always up for cuddle time and am not precious about being jumped on, licked/kissed by pets. To me, the pet determines what we do (within reason!) and I understand well what they do or don't want to do. It's amazing how much they can say to us without actually talking!

Availability
I am flexible around any sit or walk time and am happy to work out an arrangement that suits yours and your pets needs. It's important that you can go away or be away from home for even a short time and can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
