About Jill H.

Communication

2 repeat pet parents
60% response rate
Usually responds in about a day
70% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Dog skills

8 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Injected medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I study nonverbal communication for my graduate studies, which can be translated to both humans and animals. This understanding, paired with knowledge of dog and cat “language” and my calm demeanor helps me connect with animals rather quickly.

Information Jill H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs or preferences. I like to make my visits as stress free as possible not just for all parties involved.

A typical day

Whether it’s playing catch or giving a good brushing, I’m ready to give tour pet the attention they need until you’re back in sniff’s reach.

I have experience with mid-size dogs including labradors and mixed breed as well as orange, black and white, and Siamese cats. I love animals and find joy in nurturing them.

Fantastic Jill! They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. My cats were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. I highly recommend their services and would gladly book with them again. Thank you.

Jill did an excellent job taking care of Daisy Jane in our home. She was thoughtful, clean, and communicative. We will for sure work with her again and look forward to it!

Being away from companion and home makes one feel the world better knowing that there is a caring guardian there staying with them through the long hours of being apart. Grateful.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
