I like big mutts and I cannot lie

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Jill! I'm an animal lover and advocate living in Lakewood, OH. I've always had a passion for animals, hence why I'm vegetarian. My family and I have rescued many dogs and cats from the streets and have personally found each one their furrever home, which we take a lot of pride in. One of our family dogs, Pee Wee, was actually found roaming the streets and we had him for 18 years! I have lots of experience volunteering with animals at shelters, animal sanctuaries, and farms. I'm OBSESSED with walking dogs and love to take them to fun and exciting new places. I live close to Edgewater so if you're interested, swimming could be incorporated into our walks. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have a life's worth of experience caring for them. There's nothing I love more than meeting a new dog and look forward to meeting yours! I also offer cat care. Although I can't personally board a cat at my apartment, I am more than happy to do at home visits to care for your feline family member.

Jill did such an amazing job watching our two pups while my husband and I were on vacation! One of our dogs is prone to seizures and Jill followed our detailed feeding and medication instructions, sent us daily photos and updates and was overall just the perfect sitter for our furbabies. She is dependable and a great communicator. Will definitely be booking again with her again!

Jill is my go to pet sitter for when I go out of town. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and at the time, I had a litter of kittens I was fostering through a rescue. I needed someone to take care of all of my animals and I knew that this was a HUGE ask from anyone. Jill without hesitation stayed at my house all week and took AMAZING care of all of my animals, and even got one of the kittens adopted by one of her friends! I still get updates on the kitten, which is really sweet. Jill loves animals and they love her. She's kind, compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy. I would recommend her to anyone, especially if you want to receive really cute photos of your pet while you're away. I came home to all of my animals very happy, my house secure, and she even gifted one of my cats a new little collar, which I really loved.

Jill did a great job watching my 2 dogs while I was on vacation. She took them on daily walks, followed my special feeding instructions, and gave them their daily meds. She is trustworthy, caring, and reliable plus my dogs loved her! I will definitely use her again

Jill was amazing watching our Sadie! It was the best Rover experience we had! She was very good at communicating and we felt like our dog was being watched by family!

I live in an apartment on the fourth floor, so your dog would have to be comfortable with going up stairs. There are plenty of places to take the dog nearby, including Edgewater Beach and Lakewood Park.

Information Jill K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. It's also important to know about your dog's temperament and how they interact with people and other dogs. It's good to know if your dog enjoys long walks or if they prefer shorter strolls, as well as how they do on a leash.

A typical day

I love taking dogs outside and getting their energy out! Sometimes it seems like I enjoy playing fetch just as much as a dog does (haha). I enjoy long walks and am passionate about the outdoors. One of my favorite places to walk dogs is in the Rocky River Reservation.
