Pet care experience
I have had a German Shepherd for 4.5 years. He is my baby, but has had a variety of health problems that have allowed me to have a deep knowledge of how to care for dogs. I have become very watchful with dogs and can promise your dog will enjoy his or her time with Jax, Charlie, and I! I have walked friends and neighbors dogs and provided over night and short term dog sitting for a variety of breeds. Jax has completed advanced obedience school, giving me extensive experience with the training process. I also am a certified behavior therapist which uses positive reinforcement to increase desired behavior. I am currently working as a teacher, but have the availability to come home 2 times during the school day if your pup requires it! I am typically gone for 7 hours Monday-Friday, but come home at lunch to walk the dogs. In the summer time, I have full availability. I always make time to walk the dogs at least twice a day for 20-30 minutes. If your pup requires more or less, I can tailor their walks accordingly. I am very flexible with scheduling. I live in an apartment, but your pup will have plenty of room to play. Although there is no fenced in yard, there is large grass spaces for dogs to play and sidewalks perfect for a long walk! We also are more than happy to take the pups to Bear Creek Dog Park to get out any extra energy. I am happy to crate your pup if needed. My husband is around to give your fur baby extra love as well. We have plenty of interactive dogs toys for Jax and your pup to play with. We are in close proximity to multiple dog parks for the pups to run around. My dog is 4.5 years old and loves to make new friends. We hope your pup will come join us while you are away!
Reviews
Jillian has taken care of my pup while at work several times and has been very great. If I need a walker again I will contact her first.
10/10 would ask her to take my puppers out for potty breaks
Jillian watched my German shepherd for an extended time as I was recovering from an injury. She was extremely caring and treated him as her own. She went the extra mile helping him with training and making sure he got plenty of exercise. She will always be my first choice with any care for my dog.
Jillian is an outstanding dog mom. She only strives to provide the best love and care for not only her dog but every single dog she encounters. She is kind, open minded and thoughtful with not only her own dog but other dogs as well. Jillian is one of the few people I trust to walk and watch my dog when I am out of down, due to her love and devotion to animals.

I have raised a very spoiled dog, so I know how to give your pup(s) the love and affection they need while you are out of town. Between snuggles, leashed walks, open area play at the dog park, yummy treats, and lots of belly scratches, your pet will be loved and attended to!

Information Jillian G. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, big and small. Before watching your fur baby, I would like to know his or her preferences on treats, any medical needs, energy level, and rules for your pup such as allowed on the bed or any furniture so I can be sure to respect your rules!
A typical day
I love spending time in the mountains, and I’d love for your fur baby to join! Going to Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks Open Space, and Cheyenne Mountain are some of Jax’s favorites! In the summer, we can go for a swim if your pup would enjoy it!

Availability
Because I have a fur baby of my own, I understand the time and dedication needed for a pet. Fortunately, I work about a mile from home, and am able to let the dogs out during the day if needed. My husband and I are active, so walks and hikes with the dogs is part of our routine.
