Safety, trust & environment

We typically do not have clients dogs come to our home. We have a 2 year old pit mix that is very passionate about dogs respecting her boundaries. She does get along with dogs but we rather not risk anything like. We have no fenced in yard so walks would be the only acceptable form of potty time. Going into others homes would probably be the best.

Information Jillian F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special requests or needs for your pet. I’d be happy to accommodate. I don’t have preferences and are okay with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats.

A typical day

Jill personally work most of the time, 5 hours in the morning with a small 3 hour break in between, followed by another 3 hour shift. I love to go on walks (or runs for the high energy dogs). Tug of war is our dog’s favorite so I’m super experienced in that game. But of course chilling on the couch watching tv is also an option.

Young Eager Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO BEFORE BOOKING! Hello friends! I have been around animals most of my life. I grew up in Sussex County, NJ(so always surrounded by farms & livestock). I’ve had various jobs over the years pertaining to animal care. Most of my experience comes from kennel work. I do daily tasks such as cleaning, learning canine/feline behavior, administering medications/insulin. While also receiving real life experience tending to medical emergencies such as heat strokes and seizures. animals. I have absolutely no preference and love all sizes and breeds (although those big breeds will always have my heart). I understand that each pet has their own unique characteristics and preferences. My job is too evaluate your pet to make their stay comfortable and safe. I want all the pets I care for to have a calm and pleasant stay. To do this I can engage in play sessions, provide enrichment toys and puzzles, or even just snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate :) And if your pet is maybe a bit more slimy, scaly, or slithery, I would still love to help out. Personally, I have years of reptile experience as well as birds. I can confidently say your pet is in the best possible care with me and I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry family members!

Very grateful for Jillian helping out at the last minute! It's reassuring to know Hurley has someone caring and reliable to take care of him.

Jillian was very responsive, sending lots of pictures and messages to reassure us that Hurley was doing well. I feel I can leave Hurley without worry. Knowing that he's in Jillian's capable and caring hands gives our family much more flexibility.

Jillian is absolutely amazing with our Leo. Truly made our trip away so much more comfortable because we knew he was being cared for in his own space and kept on schedule. Appreciated the pictures that she sent regularly so we could see our boy. Will definitely touch base again if we need a pet sitter again.
