I love caring for your critters!
Pet care experience
For many years, I watched dogs in my home in addition to housesitting and dog walking. Nowadays I am transitioning to mostly doing drop-ins or staying in your home while watching your critters. I have a small dog of my own who goes almost everywhere with me, and she is a wonderful playmate for everyone she encounters. Millie is a 7 year old chihuahua mix. I also volunteer as much as possible with local rescues, can help with basic tips and tricks for obedience, and I can help get a new puppy settled in your home and off to a great start. If you need a sitter in your home, drop-in pet care or you think I could help in any other way, please reach out and let’s see if I’m a good fit!

Jill is the best! We had to move out of state and miss her dearly. She took care of our dog and cat whenever we’d leave town and they adored her! She is flexible, dependable, and always made sure our pets were having a blast (as documented in the many pet pictures we received). I feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.
Jill is the best and we are so happy to have found her! Remy clearly loves her and she made leaving our new puppy at home so much less stressful. We can trust her completely to come on time (or even early occasionally) and tend to all our puppy's needs. She is also very responsive and professional, not to mention just plain nice. We can't thank her enough and we look forward to more visits!
Jill is the perfect balance between trustworthy professional and awesome dog-loving human being :) She has shown such care with my older dog, going above and beyond caring for him on his daily walks and visits. Also, she sends me the most adorable pictures of my kiddo on their walks with all the wonderful local street art, an added touch that brings a little joy into my work day while he is not with me. Communication is top notch, I always know she will get back to me in a timely manner. I feel beyond lucky to have found a pet sitter like Jill that I trust so highly, who is generous, fair, and gentle, so caring with my older boy! Thank you so much, Jill, you will be Dynamo's pet sitter for life!
Jill was great about sending me picks showing her and her other pups giving love to my fur-baby. There were lots of other dogs in the house and I felt comfortable that he felt right at home and had settled in nicely. Thanks so much, Jill and Nigel!

Safety, trust & environment
I have many years of working in shelters and rescues with all temperaments of animals. I’m very experienced with most schools of training and reinforcement. I try to keep your pet’s routines as normal as possible while you’re away.
Information Jill S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your pet’s routines and norms. Additionally, I prefer to meet them, and have them meet me, before the booking begins. That way I’m not a total stranger to them.
A typical day
I love neighborhood walks, beach trips, or just hanging out on the couch, depending on your critter’s desires! I joke that I keep 30 kids alive, safe and happy each day, so dogs and cats are the easy stuff!

Availability
I’m a public school teacher, so I’m gone during the day, but done by 3pm so there is plenty of daytime left for walks and hanging out. I’m also pretty much mellow on the weekends.
