Safety, trust & environment

I always leave time and space for your pet to learn to trust me at their speed. I’m intuitive with animal care and love when I see pets responding to me by showing me more trust and affection. I know pets are family members with their own personalities and I treat them as such!

Information Jillian A. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me what your pet likes and dislikes, whether they have any physical or emotional sensitivities, and if they otherwise need any special treatment or love.

A typical day

Your pet deserves to do what THEY love to do when I’m with them. Whether that’s long walks, throwing the ball, playing with some yarn, going to the park, or just cuddling up for the long haul, or keeping a respectful distance away (some cats much prefer this option), that’s what we’ll do together!

Pet care experience

Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter.  I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend!

Did a meet and greet (and took notes)! Sent daily (as we had agreed on) pics and dogs seemed happy when we returned. House was clean and as we left it. Would have her house sit again!
