Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals of all kinds welcome!
My name is Jillian and I currently live in Winchendon, MA. I am in my early thirties and work for a nonprofit. I have received my COVID-19 vaccines. I've loved animals from a young age. From dogs and cats, to birds, hamsters, mice and plenty of fish, I've had many pets over the years. My family dog growing up was a stubborn and protective Mini Schnauzer who needed a lot of love because of dietary restrictions and diabetes. We had a semi-feral kitty who lived a long, happy life despite not always wanting constant companionship. Our current family dog is an extremely excitable Wheaten Terrier who challenges me to tire her out with long hikes in the woods. As she lives with my parents, I don't see her nearly as much as I'd like to, and I take every chance I can get to provide loving care to other pets in the Boston area. I currently have two funny kitties who entertain me every day. As a pet owner myself, I know how difficult it can be finding a sitter you can trust and depend on. I am responsible, reliable and caring, with past experience pet and house sitting. I love animals of all types, and would be happy to help take care of any type of pet no matter how small or large while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow any preferences you have when taking care of animals in your home and take care to leave the space just as I found it. I take care when entering and exiting to avoid any pets getting out, and will follow your preferences and instructions for key pickup and return.

Jillian is the best. I feel so comfortable with her caring for my babies. She always goes above and beyond! This time she was also was able to accommodate two last minute changes!
I’m so appreciative of the quality of care and kindness that my cats receive from Jillian. It makes it much easier to be able to travel, knowing that they are well taken care of.
I am so thankful to have Jillian as a resource to care for my cats when I am away, she is attentive and they love her and it makes it so much easier for me to be able to visit family

Schedule
I have a full time job on Mon-Fri from ~8AM to 4PM. I am most available for walks or drop-in visits before or after my workday, and anytime on weekends. I am currently working remotely the majority of time, providing flexibility during the day for occasional visits if you live close by, but I am not typically able to commit to daily walks or drop-ins during the day M-F. I am happy to be considered as a backup for your regular sitter in those instances! Please note: my listed rates are for clients within a 15-minute radius of my home. I am happy to consider clients farther away, but depending on distance and needs I will adjust my rates accordingly.

- Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues or has had any issues in the past when being left alone. If your pet is a dog, please let me know how they interact with other dogs on walks.
