Lifetime of experience
Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover, who is passionate about animals and the care that they receive. I started working at a horse farm when I was just 9 years old. I continued to work at farms through high school. Then, while earning my bachelors degree, I worked at a veterinary clinic, house sat for numerous friends and family members, worked as a groomer assistant/kennel assistant/dog walker and worked at 2 other breeding horse farms. After college we established our own horse boarding farm and riding lesson program, which I ran for 13 years. At one time we cared for and managed 43 horses, on our farm. I’ve handled every aspect of everyday care for horses, potty trained puppies, administered meds to small animals, vaccinated and dewormed horses, raised baby birds, walked dogs of all sizes, trained horses and cared for elderly dogs. We now have a small farm where I live with my husband, two children, our 3 dogs, chickens, cats, horses and a pigeon.
Reviews
She is great!
Jill did a wonderful job taking care of our four pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) in our home. One of our dogs has limitations due to an injury and the limitations have caused her to have some anxiety issues. The other dog is a runner if she gets outside with out a leash. Also, we have a complicated feeding procedure for all of our pets. Jill was understanding and willing to take on any challenges our pets required. Jill sent pictures and communicated throughout our time away so that we new our pets were well taken care of. She left the house just as she found it. Everything was perfect.
Does amazing with my old man Ace! Very easy and friendly to talk to! I know she loves what she does and my dog loves her!!
Jill is amazing and took great care of our two dogs Kona and Paisley. She sent us updates and pictures. We really appreciate everything she did even keeping them busy playing with them. Thank you Jill!!
About Jill D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience working with all sizes, breeds and ages of animals. I can help with puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication. I will treat your pet with love and compassion.
Information Jill D. would like to know about your pet
I like to to have open communication with owners so that their animals will be cared for, as they see fit. Please let me know what special needs your pet has, so that I can accommodate accordingly.
A typical day
I try hard to meet the needs of each animal, based on what each owner requests. If it’s running, walking or playing ball, with an active dog I enjoy the physical activity. I’m also happy to provide a slow easy walk with lots of scratches, for a older dog. Whatever each animal needs, I’ll do my best to move at their individual pace.
