Availability
Sea turtle biologist by morning, animal lover all day long! I am currently working with the local nesting turtles for the summer but also love to provide quality pet care after. I am available for pet sitting as long as pets can go 5-8 hours alone. Daily work schedule varies based on the season but typically won't be longer than 8-10 hours. Afternoon/early evening drop ins or walks can be accommodated most days.

I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. If directions are left by parents, I will follow them and ask any clarifying questions that are needed. I will respect your pets boundaries and ensure they are well cared for.
Information Jill E. would like to know about your pet
Previously, I was an animal trainer with reptiles and marine mammals. If your pet has any had signals/cues for behavior or are in training for new behaviors, I am happy to use your cues during my time with your pet.
A typical day
I love to take my own dogs on walks in new natural areas to provide them with new stimulation. With pet parents' permission, I would love to take your pet out for a fun walk in a natural area. Would be willing to walk or drive depending on preference.

Pets
Animal care taker since childhood
Pet care experience
I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin on a farm which allowed me to have pets like cows and horses as well as cats, dogs, and fish. From an early age, animals have always been a large park of my life. In college I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Wildlife Ecology. This grew my love for animals to include the wild creatures that live in our back yards. At home, my husband and I have two rescue dogs who have made our house feel like a home. They have travelled the country with us in our camper and I cannot imagine life without our two pups.

Jill was

We had a last minute need for a sitter and our usual sitter was not available. I am always nervous about using a new sitter, but Jill’s profile seemed like she could be a good fit. She came for a meet and greet that day, and after meeting her in person I felt comfortable with her sitting for us. Jill spent the weekend with our dog and did a great job. She followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our dog was safe, fed, and well cared for while we were gone. We received photo updates and she was quick to respond to our texts. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She’s a trustworthy, calm, and responsible person who I don’t hesitate to recommend. We will book with Jill again!

We can highly recommend Jill after she stayed with our rambunctious terrier for six days! He loved her! She took him on long walks and gave him lots of love and attention. Jill was great at communicating with us and was so understanding when a problem came up on our end. She took great care of our home and left it spotless!
My dog tends to be cautious of humans and so isn't always the friendliest to strangers. He's also over 65 pounds, so he can be intimidating. I communicated this to Jill so then at our first meetup she gave my dog distance and respect so that he could come to her on his own terms. As I showed her around, the way she kept the interactions with him at a level that he set was so impressive. By the time she left he was comfortable receiving an ear scratch from her. She has pet-sat for me a number of times since then and is now one of the only non-family humans that my dog will wag his tail for when he sees her.
