Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time caring for my baby and my own dogs. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never left alone for long periods. With a flexible schedule and a calm home environment, I can give each pet the time, care, and companionship they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision at all times. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications, to help them feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe space to relax or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I treat every pet and home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, loving hands.
Information Jill R. would like to know about your pet
Before care begins, I like to learn as much as possible about each pet to ensure the best and safest experience for everyone. Please share your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, temperament, energy level, medical needs, and any special instructions so I can keep their stay comfortable and stress-free. It’s especially important that pets are friendly and comfortable around my baby and my dogs, since they will be part of our shared home environment. My cat typically stays in her own separate area, but I still prioritize calm and respectful behavior around all animals in the household. For everyone’s safety, I also ask to be informed about any behavioral concerns, triggers, allergies, or medications ahead of time, as well as updated vaccinations. Open communication helps me provide personalized, loving care and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me is calm, structured, and full of attention. Since I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and care. Mornings start with potty breaks and outdoor time in my secure backyard where they can safely run, play, and explore. Throughout the day, I provide interactive play, toys, and enrichment, along with plenty of cuddle time and affection. I also make sure pets have a comfortable indoor environment to relax and feel at ease, keeping their routine as close to home as possible. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where they feel happy, secure, and part of the family.

Pet care experience
Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From a young age, I naturally took on the responsibility of helping care for my family’s dogs, making sure they were fed, exercised, groomed, and given plenty of attention and affection. Providing a safe, loving, and structured environment has always been important to me. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments, including administering medication, basic grooming, and supporting rescue and rehoming efforts. I’ve personally rescued several animals and understand the patience, compassion, and consistency they need to feel secure and happy. I joined Rover because working with animals truly brings me joy. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family and cared for with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give my own.
Reviews
Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.
Jill was excellent - She was reliable and communicated well. She took good care of my cats while I was away!
Rebooked with Jill! Smooth sailing, lots of pictures and clear communication about time changes!
Jill was super communicative, punctual and sweet with my baby boy! I was able to coordinate dropping off my keys and picking them up no problem. Jill took really cute pictures of Lather and followed all my instructions. No hiccups or last minute change of plans. Would 100% recommend!!
