Pet care experience

Caring, Professional, & Insured

I have been a full time pet sitter for three years and have a track record for providing excellent care for my furry, feathered, and scaly clients and peace of mind for their owners. I'm insured to protect your pets and home while they're in my care and regularly consult with my friends across animal industries (including veterinarians, trainers, rescuers, and breeders) to build my best practices for care. In addition to Rover's standard services, I also offer pet taxi services, co-walks with one of my dogs, and play dates with one or more of my dogs to help socialize your pup.

Jillian is an incredibly diligent, caring, responsive, and communicative pet visitor. I highly recommend Jillian. She is patient, gentle, and knowledgeable about cat behavior. Ralphie warmed up to her rather quickly. She was thorough during her visits, cleaning up any messes, washing the bowls, and tending to the litter box. Very impressive with her high level of care.

Jillian cared for our two cats, Cha and Henry, over the course of six days, for a total of ten visits. After each visit she sent written summaries and photos of both cats. Her astute observational skills, and amusing writing style gave us clear understanding of how our two cats were responding to being left in care of a non-family member for the first time. Also, Cha presents with a set of challenging behaviors in her unrelenting quest to steal Henry's food. Jillian used her wits, imagination, patience and sense of humor to manage these behaviors and create a feeding routine that met everyone's needs. Over the course of her time with them, Jillian reported behaviors usually reserved for showing affection to family members, giving us the clear indication that she was the right choice. We will absolutely seek out Jillian to care for Henry and Cha next time we travel.

We have an older, sensitive dog and rarely travel without him these days, but when we have no other choice, having Jillian to rely on means so much to us. She took great care of him, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We were especially grateful that he did so well during this trip. Thank you always!

Jillian was available for a last minute drop in visit for our cats! She’s our go-to Rover and we love her almost as much as our cats do!

Jillian is the best. Our cats absolutely love her, she always goes above and beyond with helping if needed, she leaves great report cards and takes the cutest pictures. She makes leaving my babies so much easier. I will book her for every trip I have!

Schedule

Sitting: I aim to leave your pet alone for no longer than 4-6 hours. I spend overnight in your home (about 10 pm to 7 am) and have two extended (at least an hour) drop ins per day. Pets typically do best with fewer, longer drop ins than frequent, short visits, so I build my schedule to give your pets plenty of quality time without the anxiety of constant in and outs. I’m happy to discuss your pets’ unique needs and collaborate on the best care plan. I am unable to provide constant care (leaving for less than 2 hours at a time).

Safety, trust & environment

I adapt to your pet's unique needs. On walks, I can handle slow sniffaris, quick-paces, and everything in between. With cats, I let them determine how much interaction they receive during a visit. I'm happy to sit quietly so they can get used to me or play together with more outgoing cats.

It is important for me to know any special needs, rules, quirks, or reactivity triggers your pet has and how they prefer to interact with people (fetch, cuddles, having their space, etc).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
