Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care while you’re away
Your pets didn’t book the trip. They still expect room service. I provide calm, reliable care for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and the occasional household plant that has been left in my emotional custody. Most pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I keep things simple: food, water, walks, litter, meds as instructed, photos, updates, and a steady human who shows up when she says she will. Many of my clients are away for a weekend, a work trip, a vacation, or a longer stay in Maine. Whether you live here year-round, are visiting for the season, or are here temporarily, I help keep pets settled while their people are away. I’m especially comfortable with cats, senior pets, shy pets, multi-pet homes, and animals who need patience before they decide I’m acceptable. HOUSE SITTING / OVERNIGHT CARE Overnight care is limited and best suited for planned trips, established clients, and pets who need a steady routine. I keep care selective so pets stay comfortable and the house stays sane. Before booking, please share your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, quirks, and anything they believe is legally theirs. DROP-IN VISITS Best for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and pets who prefer their own home and their own couch rules. Visits may include feeding, fresh water, litter, outdoor breaks, medications as instructed, basic tidy-up, and photo updates. Extended visits may be recommended for multiple pets, senior pets, or more involved routines. DOGGY DAY CARE Small-group day care is offered on a limited basis for dogs I already know. Care is calm, structured, supervised, and not a chaotic free-for-all. This is not a high-volume facility-style service.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jill is fantastic! She has been doing drop in visits for us frequently. She is always on time and I always love seeing her Rover Cards. She keeps us updated on what her visit entailed and its clear that she loves dogs/animals. We couldn't ask for a better person to take care of our dog.
Jill is excellent with our cats! She engages with them, is very observant of their habits and behavior, sends adorable photos , and lets us know if something is off. We highly recommend her!
Jill is wonderful - very kind and compassionate, in addition to being incredibly organized and responsive! She takes amazing care of my 4 (very different personalities!) cats. I feel so comfortable leaving them in her care and it is an amazing peace of mind to know they are in safe and loving hands when I'm away. Jill is the best!
Jill is prompt, professional and caring. We can leave our cats in full confidence knowing they will be well cared for! Thank you Jill!
Jill is super reliable and so kind. I never have to worry about the cats when she's around. And they love her!
Jill took excellent care of our cats during drop in visits. She arrived promptly and sent updates and pictures which was so reassuring! We can confidently highly recommend her and will definitely be calling on her again.

Schedule
I plan my schedule intentionally to support well-defined care needs and clear timelines. This allows me to provide consistent, attentive care whether you’re traveling nearby or farther from home.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and consistency are always a priority. I follow established routines, respect household instructions, and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. Clear communication helps ensure a smooth experience while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
Visits are built around your pet’s normal routine. Care typically includes feeding, outdoor breaks or litter care, medications as needed, and quiet companionship. The goal is to keep each day feeling familiar, even when you’re not home.
