I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, doggie walker, or cat visit.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
Information Jill S. would like to know about your pet
Every pet is unique, and getting to know them ahead of time helps everything go smoothly. Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, favorite activities, quirks, fears, and comfort items. If they have any medical needs, special instructions, or behaviors (like pulling on walks or separation anxiety), I’m always happy to accommodate.
A typical day
Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I offer a calm, loving environment with plenty of walks, gentle play, and one-on-one attention. I adjust activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs—whether that’s an energetic game of fetch or a relaxed stroll followed by belly rubs.

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets.
Cat care experience
Jill also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
It is incredibly hard to trust someone with your dog and being in your home, and we don’t take that lightly. From the very beginning, she earned that trust through genuine care, updates, and kindness. We couldn’t be more thankful.
We had a wonderful experience with Jill. She was incredibly caring, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. She gave us total peace of mind.
Jill is absolutely amazing with pets! She cared for my new puppy and cat, and I couldn’t ask for a more reliable, loving sitter. She is patient, attentive, and always went the extra mile to make sure my babies feel safe and happy. I love how she keeps me updated with pictures and notes — it gives me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, Jill is the one!
