Safety, trust & environment

When I am with your pet, my eyes are always on them and aware of surroundings. I find a balance between giving them their safe space (whether it’s an open crate or a spot on the couch) and providing stimulation (walks, puzzles, lick mats, toys, fetch, etc).

Information Jill W. would like to know about your pet

I schedule Meet & Greets for all larger dogs. During the meet, I usually ask the following questions. I'd like to know if your dog: 1.) Interacts well with other dogs 2.) Is sensitive to loud noises (ie: thunder, fireworks, etc.) 3.) Has any quirks or known separation anxiety (jumps, chews, barks, marks, gets diarrhea or spits up from anxiousness, etc.) 4.) Sleeps with you or in a specific area 5.) Pulls while walking or tries to bolt out an open door 6.) Takes any medication 7.) Eats on a schedule or free-feeds 8.) Prefers his meal prepared a certain way (mixture of dry & wet food, mixed with toppers, etc.) 9.) Has a routine walking style (What type of harness or collar is used? Is there a typical route he likes? Is there an area he 99% of the time does his business?)

A typical day

My neighborhood has sidewalks and a two-mile loop which I walk every day for exercise. I love to play fetch and cuddle. I like teaching tricks and training for good behavior on walks.

Reliable Feline & Pup Care!

Pet care experience

**I am a bonded and insured pet sitter. I have had dogs since a very young age - from Terriers to Great Danes. This has given me a well rounded experience with a variety of dogs and a love for getting to know their unique personalities. I've also had and cared for various other pets such as cats, iguanas, bearded dragons, birds, and fish. I am an animal lover through and through! I love to play fetch and cuddle. I like hiking, walking, and being outdoors - I work from home for a nonprofit so giving back and exercise are very important to me. I am a woman of my word, very organized and prompt - if I say I will be there, I will be there. It is a joy for me to offer this service to our community. Your pets will be in great hands!

Jill is simply the best! Many times Jill has been able to accommodate our family with last minute requests. She is reliable and trustworthy and a good communicator. I couldn’t ask for better! My dog Lucy loves walking with her. Thank you, Jill!

Jill was amazing! She dropped in on our 6-month old puppy while we were away for work and he did great. Her attentiveness, flexibility and patience with a young pup were much appreciated!

Took care of my 3 dogs on short notice. Worked really well with them. Will use her again.
