Safety, trust & environment

Since I have worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years, and having grown up with my own pets, I have knowledge of potential harmful situations, such as choking hazards, toxic ingestions, common allergens, other people or pets, and much more. I am happy to work with you directly, so you can let me know common behaviors in your pet, and how I can accommodate to avoid any serious injury!

Information Jill D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any known allergies, behaviors, medications, or little quirks that you think are important to share with me. Please also share your primary veterinarian and vaccination status (rabies, distemper, bordetella).

A typical day

Every pup needs something to sniff, and every cat needs something to chase. I’m more than happy to meet the energy demands of your pets, whether they prefer to sleep all day or constantly have something to play with.

Vet assistant who loves our babies!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Jill! I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years, which has provided me the knowledge I need to properly take care of our babies. Although I’m now in human medicine, I still have a passion for caring for our fur babies. I have experience with many different dogs, cats, and other common pets. I grew up working with, caring for, and riding horses, as well as a plethora of farm dogs and barn cats. Since I was a teenager, I have been trusted to care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I have a sweet German Shepherd mix named Maya, and a crazy tortie Domestic Long Hair named Sophie. They are like children to me, and I hope to build a similar relationship with your pets too!

Jill is the best--thoughtful and genuine. My dogs somehow seem to know when she's coming for a visit and are of course excited to see her!
