Highlights
Pet care experience
Exceptional care. Peace of mind.
With over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I’ve become the reliable friend people turn to when they want their pets happy and their minds at ease. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me with everything from daily routines to longer stays because I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I notice the small details, follow instructions closely, and adapt to each pet’s unique personality so they feel comfortable and at ease. Experience at a glance: • 20+ years caring for cats and dogs in home environments • 17 years of daily care for my own cat, Mona • Many years of daily care as a dog mom, from puppyhood through senior years • A wide range of personalities, temperaments, and energy levels • Dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to giant breeds • Following owner-specific routines, instructions, and special requests • Medication routines and mobility support • Baths and basic nail trims as appropriate • Dog walking, safe handling, and reinforcing basic commands • Supportive handling around distractions and mild reactivity, with an emphasis on confidence-building and praise • Enrichment activities for both cats and dogs

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jill, as always, was amazing. Daily photos were sent of the pets to let us know and see how happy they were. There were puppies to play with and safe spaces for our cat. We have booked with Jill in the past and will again!
Raven had a great time with Jill! And she looked dapper in her birthday party bow tie! Jill goes above and beyond and clearly cares so much for Raven: continuing her nail trimming training, restarting her eye meds when necessary, getting more food (sorry about that miscalculation, Jill!) and just all-around attentive and fun. Thanks for all the pictures while we were gone: we didn’t worry about her a bit! So happy we have you!
Great communication and pictures!
Jill sent daily pics and updates which was reassuring and it looks like my pups had a fun time! Thank you! ☺️
Jill: thanks for all the great pics and report of the day! Raven loves being with you! Thank you!
Jill is amazing! She is very observant and knows Raven well: tells us all the details in the Rover cards and is an exceptional photographer (love the giggle fest pictures!) thanks for everything !!

Schedule
My schedule is intentionally flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, boarding, and meet-and-greets without being tied to a traditional workday. When I’m caring for a dog or cat, their routine becomes the focus-walks, meals, medication, and enrichment fit naturally into my day, along with plenty of companionship.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where safety and well-being come first. Comfortable resting areas are set up for both cats and dogs, along with a fully-fenced yard for outdoor time. Doors and gates are kept secure, and routines stay consistent throughout each stay. Beds, blankets, and toys are available, and crates or kennels are available for dogs who prefer them. The home is non-smoking and child-free. I adjust the setup to suit each pet, whether that means quiet companionship, time to play, or a slower pace while they get comfortable.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day here is focused on each pet’s routine and helping them feel at home. Mornings start with fresh water, breakfast, and outdoor time for dogs, while cats settle into their favourite spots indoors. Throughout the day, pets can relax in cozy rest areas, enjoy toys and enrichment, and spend time together or on their own, depending on what they prefer. Dogs enjoy walks, yard time, and gentle play with plenty of praise. Cats can choose playtime, window watching, or quiet company, depending on their mood. Evenings are easy and relaxed, with time to wind down together before bedtime.

- Please share anything that will help your pet feel safe and settled here. This can include their daily routine, feeding schedule, fears, favourite comforts, and anything you’d like me to continue at my home so things stay familiar for them. I also appreciate knowing about: • reactivity or sensitivities • medication needs • separation anxiety • crate use (if they use one) • mobility issues or age-related limitations • how they do with new environments Anything else that would be helpful for me to know to make their stay enjoyable and smooth.
