I love all pets!
Pet care experience
I have house sat for family and friends for years and love meeting and taking care of all pets! I have cared for large breeds, small breeds, puppies, elderly animals, cats, geckos, aquariums big and small, and have loved each and every one of them. I have done check ups on animals as well as overnight stays. I always clean up my mess and try to leave the animal and space as good if not better than before. I have had an anxious whippet over 10 years now and I have really learned how to calm him and other anxious animals. I also have/had 2 elderly pom-chis who were rescues. I have been raised around animals my whole life and see them as family. I have watched single animals and also up to 6 animals at a time so far. My dogs have had medical issues as well so I am experienced with giving pills and shots; as well as hygiene needs like teeth brushing, bathing, brushing, and nail trims/files. I moved out of my Mom’s house and she gave away my cat so I would love to watch your cats, but I always love dogs as well. I love all animals and hope to meet and care for yours! :)
Reviews
Jillian was an amazing sitter! She kept the space clean and took great care of my dogs! My puppy is kind of a handful at times and made a huge mess while she was away, but she was very gracious about it and did a great job cleaning it all. She communicated really well and sent tons of pictures. I would definitely recommend her!
Jill spent 9 days with our 6 fur babies and fish and plants...We were so happy to have her love on our animals. We have 2 big 80+lb boxer/pyrenees mixes, a 25lb old lady terrier mix, a small main coon mix, a chatty siamese & a demon stray kitten we added to the crazy a year ago. Jill did wonderful with our small zoo, keeping those who are food driven from stealing food, keeping cats who get in garbage out of the trash, keeping escape artists in the house...feeding an underweight kitty fed regularly, a wet food only kitty out of the dry food....we printed 2 pages of instructions and she asked questions, clarified what she didn't understand and kept in touch with us throughout our time away. We got photo updates and messaged check-ins letting us know all was well. My animals were happy, my home was just as we left it, plants alive, we were extremely happy to have chosen such a responsible individual to care for our babies and our home while we were gone. I would use her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Jill!!
Jillian B., Jill, has watched my dogs, a temperamental poodle and a shih tzu mix, several times in the last few years. My poodle can get nervous if I'm not with her, but Jill keeps her happy and eating regularly. I don't worry about my pets, aquarium fish included, when Jill is sitting for me. Sometimes Jill sends pictures and everyone seems content. I highly recommend her for pet sitting duty.
Jillian is a hard working person who put the care and attention toward animals needs first. Cats and dogs of all types are drawn to her. She has been around animals her entire life and understands them and how they are each unique. She treats pets like part of the family regardless if they are hers or someone else’s. Jill is responsible and respects people especially when it comes to caring for their pets.

I always make sure the dogs needs are met and stick to a schedule. I have been told my whole life that animals gravitate towards me so I’m easy to get along with, I’ve never had an animal who didn’t like me. If I stay in your space, I always clean my messes and leave it nice and tidy. I follow any rules or guidelines you may have and am happy to do so. I can pet sit anywhere from Cheney to Liberty Lake if over night, but for drop bys, I am more accessible from the Valley to Airway Heights. My dogs currently do not like other dogs much so I do not offer care in my home.

A typical day
I love to play fetch and tug of war. I am not the most into walks, but I will happily take your dog on shortish walks (1.5 miles or less). I love play time but I also love chill time with lots of cuddles, pets, belly rubs and love. I love all dogs if they are couch potatoes or balls of energy!

Availability
My weekdays are open to your needs and I can change my availability to make sure I’m with your dogs when needed with enough time! (If you have any needs or questions please let me know!) I do online schooling as of right now to get my way into a program for becoming a sonogram technician. I just got a new job where I work later nights usually from 2-10 but that can be negotiated and changed based off of your needs.
