Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Jill, and I’ve been professionally caring for dogs through my own pet care business since 2016. Whether it’s daily walks, vacation visits, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I bring nearly a decade of hands-on experience — and a whole lot of heart — to every pup I meet. I’ve had two golden retrievers of my own over the years, and currently share life with one lovable golden who keeps me active and always smiling. I understand firsthand how much dogs mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every dog I care for like one of my own. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, playful, or a little older and slower, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while in my care.
Reviews
Jill was great, communication was impeccable and she took great care of Diesel!
Jill was awesome!! She watched our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She was prompt with her visits and gave us lots of updates. It was a huge relief to know our dogs were being taken care of so well. Will definitely be using her again!
Jill has walked Luna 3 times so far and has been nothing short of great. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her.
Jill was great with our pup!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care in your home, where your dog is most comfortable and secure in their own environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps routines consistent — whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or medication. When I visit, I make sure your pet gets: • Fresh food and water • A walk, potty break, or play session • Lots of attention and affection • Any specific care they need (medications, crate time, etc.) I respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress-free — for both you and your pet. I do not offer in-home boarding or pet sitting at my home, but I’m happy to come to you.
Information Jill P. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, it helps me to know a few key things ahead of time: ✅ Their daily routine – Feeding schedule, walk times, favorite activities, and habits. ✅ Temperament and personality – Are they shy, playful, protective, or nervous around strangers or other dogs? ✅ Medical needs – Any medications, allergies, or past injuries I should know about. ✅ Leash behavior and triggers – Do they pull, react to other dogs, or get scared by certain sounds or people? ✅ House rules – Are they allowed on furniture? Crated when alone? Special instructions? ✅ Emergency contacts and vet info – Just in case anything unexpected happens.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor my visits to match their personality, energy level, and favorite things to do! Some of the fun activities I include are: 🐕 Walks and outdoor adventures – Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll, I make sure your dog gets fresh air, movement, and time to sniff and explore. 🎾 Playtime – Fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, or just rolling around with a favorite toy — I keep things fun and engaging. 🧠 Mental stimulation – Snuffle mats, treat puzzles, or simple training games help keep your pup’s brain busy too. 💛 Cuddles and companionship – Some pets just want love and company. I’m all in for belly rubs, brushing, or simply relaxing together. 📸 Photo updates – I love sending pics of your pet having fun so you never feel far away. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or mellow and snuggly, I make sure they’re happy, safe, and enjoying every visit.

Pet care is more than just a job — it’s part of my daily rhythm. I’m a mom of two, and while my kids are at school, I spend my days walking dogs, visiting pets, and staying active outdoors. It’s a lifestyle that keeps me moving, keeps me connected with animals, and brings a lot of joy and purpose to my routine. On days when my kids aren’t in school, they’ll sometimes come along with me. They’ve grown up around dogs and have learned how to be gentle, respectful, and loving toward animals. In many ways, pet care is a family affair — and your dog gets treated like part of the pack. I balance motherhood, fitness, and pet care in a way that ensures your dog gets consistent, attentive, and loving care — no matter the day.
