Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are my top priority! Since I primarily offer drop in visits and dog walking, I’ll be caring for pets in their homes where they feel most comfortable. When I arrive for visits, I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed and will follow your specific instructions carefully. I will provide updates after each visit to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are happy, safe and cared for. Living in a multi pet household I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as my own.

Information Jill R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or medication that will need to be administered. I’m more than comfortable dealing with pets that need a little extra care and support!

A typical day

For cats I will always make sure they have enrichment for the time I’m there. Whether that’s playing with their favorite toys or cuddles. For dogs I will take them on their favorite walks and play with their favorite toys!

Nurturing Care For Furry Friends

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Jill and I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, animals truly are my passion! From walking neighbors dogs as a kid to caring for my own senior cat (now 15 years old 🥹) and my energetic younger kitty, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I live in a multi-pet household with my two cats and my partners small dog, so I’m comfortable navigating different animal dynamics and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an active, playful visit or calm, gentle companionship, I’ll meet them exactly where they are. I’m experienced with senior pets and anxious animals. I’ve handled various medical situations with my own cats, so medication administration and special care routines don’t phase me. I’m detail orientated and will follow your instructions carefully. Cats have my heart, but I love dogs too! I’m most comfortable with small to medium sized pups and available for daytime dog walking and drop in visits. Your pets will receive the same, love, attention and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members!

We feel very fortunate to have found Jill! One of the things we appreciated right away is that she lives in our neighborhood, which made scheduling and communication very convenient. From the moment she came over for the meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was completely comfortable with both cats and dogs. She asked thoughtful questions, took the time to get to know our pets, and immediately inspired confidence. Jill has cared for our pets twice now, including one visit with our Golden Retriever in addition to our cats. She took excellent care of everyone, sent regular, detailed updates with plenty of photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also appreciated the little things, like noticing and closing windows that had been left open before we left. We are already planning to book Jill again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.

Jill was wonderful! Super flexible when I had to move the date of my service. Left me detailed notes of my dog’s walk and made the whole experience easy and comfortable. Will definitely use her again in future!

Jill is a lover of animals with the smarts to navigate unique circumstances and the experience to handle any situation. Your pets will be well loved in her care. You can trust that she will do not only what’s expected but tends to exceed expectations. If you have a pet with special needs, she follows instructions and is great about keeping the owner informed. She also takes great pet pictures! One of my all time favorite pictures of my cat was taken by Jill.

Jill is the most trustworthy person I know when it comes to caring for animals. She leads with compassion in all she does and has a certain way of making both cats and dogs feel comfortable and at ease. Above all else, she is incredibly organized and demonstrates strong communication skills, which are the traits I certainly look for in someone whom I've entrusted to look after my pets. I highly recommend booking with Jill!
