Pet care experience

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!

Jillian is the best! One of our cats is very shy and timid but she always shows her face by when Jillian comes over. Jillian has helped us out on more than one occasion with short notice - she is responsive and responsible. I wish we had found her sooner!

Jillian is the best! She takes such good care of our two kitties when we travel and always eases our worries.

Jillian was Awesome! She is so sweet and my Gary was comfortable with her as soon as she walked in for the first meet visit. During my trip I was pretty comfortable leaving him with her. Will definitely recommend her services to anyone and will definitely have her come back.

Jillian is so easy to work with and is great to my kitties. I feel so much better when I’m traveling knowing she’s there to keep and eye on my boys. She’s awesome!

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.

Information Jillian D. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I will follow the lead of your pet! If your cat prefers snuggles and attention over playtime or vice versa, I'm happy to do either. If you would like your dog taken to a park to play, please note I prefer to walk your dog on-leash at least once so we can get to know each other before taking them to a dog park to run and play.

Availability

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.
