student with a passion for pet care

Pet care experience

A little bit about my history with dogs: I have worked with and trained dogs for over a decade. What started as a career in 4-H blossomed into a lasting love for pets of all kind. I have had dogs ever since I can remember, and have worked with breeds of all shapes and sizes. I have trained dogs in agility, obedience, and grooming and handling and shown them at numerous county and state-level shows. A fun fact about me is that I worked with a rabbit hunting kennel taking care of beagles and basset hounds. I currently own two border collies and two cats, but they do not live in Boston with me. I truly love caring for dogs and welcoming them into my home. Each new client is an opportunity to meet a unique doggy personality and it makes this job so worthwhile! I aspire to take care of your pets as if they are my own, and I look forward to being your dog's new best friend!

Jillian was fantastic with our pups! She communicated with us consistently throughout the stay and kept us updated. We are so grateful to have found her!

Yet again another impeccable experience with Jillian. It was our third booking for a longer two week stay this time. Jillian is just perfect and our dog couldn't be happier to stay with her. When we came from drop off, she literally ran into her house ! Your dog couldn't be in better hands and we will definitely keep doing any additional boardings we need with Jillian !

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard and several housemates who love animals, so there will always be someone to love your pet in my home! I live very close to many dog-friendly parks and always love an excuse to go visit all of the cute dogs playing there. Many of my canine clients quickly find a comfy spot on our couch and enjoy watching Great British Bakeoff between excursions. I have a dog of my own, Kaianne, an eight year old border collie. Though friendly and social, she would prefer to hang out and do her own thing.

Information Jillian C. would like to know about your pet

Allergies and Dietary Restrictions: Please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions - I may provide treats for your dog, but I want to ensure that they are safe! Pre-Existing Medical Conditions (especially those that require care): If your pet has a pre-existing medical condition that I should be aware of, please let me know! I will do my best to provide care for specific health needs, whether that means administering topical medication or sneaking in an antibiotic, I want to ensure they are well taken care of! Friendliness with Other Dogs: Please let me know whether your dog is social or prefers to stay away from other dogs. I ask that boarders and daycare clients ensure that their dogs are friendly with others, because I typically board more than one dog at a time. I want to ensure that I am keeping your dog safe and comfortable at all times, so it is important that they are well-socialized to get the most out of their stay with me. :) **Please see: I do not accept pitbulls or pitbull mixes for liability purposes. Thank you in advance for respecting this decision.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks around on the bike paths and trails near my apartment. I also enjoy playing frisbee and fetch with dogs that know how to play! I love introducing my friends to pets that I am caring for, so assuming your dog enjoys meeting people, they will have plenty of opportunities to socialize! If they are more introverted and get anxious easily, that is okay, too! They are loved all the same!

I am currently a full-time college student, but now that summer break has started I have LOTS of time to spend caring for your furry friend! I love to fit walks into my daily routine, so I often walk dogs around the Tufts campus as well as the bike paths in Davis Square and Arlington. When I can, I even enjoy walking dogs to the Middlesex Fells Reservation (being mindful of ticks, of course!) I enjoy getting exercise and I also love spending time with animals, but because I cannot bring my own dogs and cat to live with me, I want to provide love and care for other people's pets!
