Availability

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.

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.

Information Jill S. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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

Jill is developing a nice relationship with Raven! They are learning each other and having a great time! Raven is also making friends with Jill’s other fur-balls and clearly is well-cared for! Jill communicates well, sending updates and pictures - which we greatly appreciate! See you soon, Jill! Thank you!

Cannot recommend Jill enough. Our girl Sadie was very happy while we were away and we received daily updates which was nice.

Raven’s first overnight went really well! We so appreciated Jill’s willingness to take Raven earlier than planned: thanks, Jill!!! Raven definitely has a new friend in Jill! Really appreciated the updates and photos (“Da plane!”).
