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.

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.

Jillian is an amazing cat sitter and playmate! She is conscientious, responsive, and very friendly with my Ralphie. He loves her! Jillian is a professional with extensive experience and knowledge about cat behavior and health. I highly recommend Jillian, as I've been consistently booking her for Ralphie during my travels and work events.

Our favorite cat nanny. Shadow loves her to pieces, and we always request her to take care of him when we are away. Jillian has been taking care of our high-maintenance, spoiled kitty fir two years, and he fully adores her.

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).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jillian can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
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.
