Pet care experience
Compassionate, Trusted Pet Care
Caring for animals has always come naturally to us, my husband and I have had pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, birds) all our lives — our last adoption of two bonded, senior rescues in 2017 was truly life-changing. Eddie, a gentle yet protective lab mix, and Willie, a spirited and stocky, dachshund mix, helped teach our daughter what unconditional love fully looks like, while reminding our family the special bonds that come from the gift of furry family members. We had seven amazing years with them! Since then we've become our neighborhood's pet sitters for dog's and cats alike - enjoying missed pet cuddles, while support friends who need to be away for a bit. An aspect that really helped us was working with the wonderful trainers at DogWorks in Baltimore, when our good-boys first arrived. It vastly helped them adjust, and gave us the awareness to become more responsive, respectful, and emotionally present caretakers. We still feel care taking starts with listening~ to instructions, but also to pet’s body language, rhythm, and preferences. We’ve cared for senior dogs who needed patience and understanding while they learned to trust again, puppies who have unlimited energy and child-like needs, as well as pets with medical and emotional needs. Now that we're pet empty-nesters, and experience and trust with friends and family's pets, we wanted to open our home to support a broader range of family's who could use one-on-one care like we did. We have a fully fenced in quarter-acre back yard, a pet-friendly house, and a seven year old daughter who wants to be a Vet when she grows up :).

Ratings and reviews
We are extremely grateful for how Jillian, Bobby, and their daughter took care of our dog. They sent us lots of pictures and gave us consistent updates on how he was doing. It really gave us the peace of mind we needed in order to enjoy our time away from home. We look forward to Sherlock, staying with them again.
Jillian and Bobby (and their daughter) were absolutely wonderful with Dash. They were highly communicative and asked many questions in an effort to keep Dash on his usual routine. He seemed very happy in the videos they sent. I highly recommend them as sitters. I plan to use them again if we need sitter services.
Jillian and Bobby treated our pooches like their own. It was wonderful to see daily photos and see how well they were treated. We definitely plan to work with them in the future.
Jillian & Bobby were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thoughtful and communicative, they welcomed our pup into their house as if he was part of their family, and asked about skills we were working on so as to not hinder training. Scotchy got lots of time outside with them, lots of cuddles and play, and came home happy and tired. We’re so grateful- highly recommend!
Jill and Bobby are the best dog sitters to our Luka! Whenever I drop him off, they receive him with joy, and I feel confident he is in good hands and is loved well. Luka is always excited when we drop him off with Jill and Bobby because he knows he will get lots of cuddles, care, and attention. I highly recommend them!

Schedule
I’m currently working a hybrid schedule, while my husband, Bobby, is fully remote working at home. (Even when we're in a meeting we've even left the Pet Channel or the cartoon Bluey (since its produced only in colors dogs can see!) streaming for additional comfort ;) It's rewarding to have flexible schedule ensuring pets are rarely (if ever) be left alone. Weekends and holidays are available too, especially if you know if advance for time to plan ahead, please just ask :)
