Highlights
Pet care experience
Home away from home!
Over the years, friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their beloved pets. I spent my college years working as a dog trainer, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds and behaviors. My last dog passed away several years ago, but during the decades I was a pet owner, I learned the tricks of the trade. Senior care, administering medications, potty training--I've done it all! Pick me to watch your dog, and my children and I will take them in as honorary family members for the duration of their stay and treat them with all the love and dedication we give our own!

Ratings and reviews
Jillian was wonderful with Alaia! Great communication and composure with our high energy pup.
Jillian sent frequent updates and photos. We returned to a happy dog and that's all I can ask for! Thanks again.
Olive had a great time at Jillian’s! Olive was just getting over GI issues so we were a little worried about her when we dropped her off but Jillian was great at providing updates and photos. I’m sure Olive is looking forward to her next visit next time we go out of town! :)
Jillian was wonderful caring for our senior cat, Renata! Ahead of the boarding, we arranged for a meet&greet where she took note of any specific care instructions and made sure to ask all the important questions. While we were away, she sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how our boy was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. Overall a great experience, and would definitely contact her again for future boarding!
Thank you Jillian for being so thorough and caring for our Beatrice! We were able to go on our trip without worrying about our pup at all, knowing that Jillian was an experienced dog sitter and was going to take good care of her!
My pups had a long stay with Jillian and they came home healthy and tired. She efficiently cares for my curious lab and energetic Aussie. I appreciate the pragmatic approach and updates. I'm sure this dynamic duo could keep someone on their toes but Jillian's calm and confident manner leaves you reassured regardless of whether your pups were angels or a bit excited on a walk

Schedule
My kids are in school now, so my days are active — school runs, a few hours as a lunch aide, and dog walks in between. I'm in and out rather than home all day, but your dog gets regular walks, attention, and a predictable routine. Happy to coordinate timing around your dog's needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 6 foot fully fenced backyard and space for crates if you use them. If you have any particular concerns, I'm always happy to discuss them during a Meet and Greet!
A typical day
Every day depends on your pet and what you want! During school hours your dog gets regular walks, outdoor time, and attention. Afternoons are livelier — park trips, jogs for high-energy pups with the kids biking along, and fetch with whoever's up for it. For senior or mellow dogs, it's cuddle time and pets any time of day. Just let me know what's best for your pup!
