Happiness is a house full of dogs.
Pet care experience
I'm a reformed cat person. For 15 years I was blissfully unaware just how much joy dogs can bring to life. After our first dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, I realized the love of a big dog is enough to make the gloomiest day better. Today, I'm mama to a rhodesian, an aussie, a senior cat, and an energetic toddler. Life is good. I've learned that pets are precious members of our family and I promise to treat your family like my own.
Reviews
Jill took great care of my cats while I was away. I felt at ease knowing she was checking in on them!
Jill was wonderful! She made a point of learning about my dog so that she could take the best possible care of him. She was a great communicator and I felt confident that he was in good, capable hands! Would definitely work with Jill again in the future!
Jill’s the best. She helped make one of our dreams come true. Last summer, my husband and I wanted to check off an item from our bucket list. It’s been so long since we’ve been able to travel because of COVID and our five furbabies make the logistics of arranging pet care a major consideration in our planning. Fortunately, Jill stepped in and saved our vacation plans. As a pet owner herself, Jill was fully comfortable with caring for our combinations of cats and dogs and their relatively complicated dietary needs. The dogs are fed a frozen raw kibble and because two of our little ones are small breed mixes with small jaws, they require pre-planning to defrost their meals. Our two cats are on a low protein diets and require a combination of wet and dry foods at every feeding. I left Jill very detailed instructions and she executed them flawlessly. Additionally, our pups are rescues and are often reactive to strangers and other dogs. In Jill’s care, they were well-cared for, happy, and attended to. As owners, we can tell when our pups haven’t been active enough as their energy level would be frenetic from inactivity. After the initial excitement of our return passed they all promptly when to lay down. Always a clear sign they were well exercised and cared for. We look forward to the next chance we can have Jill watch our kids again. We know they would love the chance to hangout with her again, but what’s even better is we know she would also be excited to see them too! It’s great to be able to put our animals in the care of someone who cares for them as much as we do.
About Jill H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We live in an unfenced home with plenty of park land abutting our property. Many pet parents cut across our yard to walk their pet. For this reason, I am very careful when letting the dogs out and when on walks. I am mindful of the fact that not everyone is a dog lover and I'm cautious when approaching new furry friends.
Information Jill H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your fur baby requires extra attention or has special needs. I’m happy to accommodate. I sometimes will bring my toddler during visits, please let me know if your fur baby dislikes kids and I will make alternate arrangements!
A typical day
I live adjacent to Roger Williams Park, a very dog friendly park with lots of sprawling green areas. The trails around the park are perfect for short/long walks and the large green areas are great for energetic dogs.

I am working from home for the foreseeable future. My job allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day. I don't need much notice and understand that plans change quickly. I can be very flexible.
