Boarding • Oct 19, 2025

Jillian was super nice and very thorough. From the moment we did our meet-and-greet, she wanted to make sure that all was understood and that we both felt extra comfortable with all plans. She is really good about making you and your dog feel welcome and at ease in her home. Her other dogs are friendly and they were so kind to share toys with my big guy. The pictures and videos she shared put a smile on my face and let me know my pup was in great hands. The entire experience was super positive, and I enjoyed Jillian taking care of my dog. She is kind, thoughtful, very experienced, and a great choice.

Jillian is truly one of a kind when it comes to caring for animals. She’s not just great with dogs and cats — she genuinely loves all animals, from birds to reptiles and everything in between. You can tell she has years of experience and a huge heart for what she does. She previously ran an animal rescue, and that experience shows in the way she handles every pet with patience, compassion, and confidence. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, Jillian treats every animal like her own. She’s reliable, responsible, and the kind of person you can completely trust to love and care for your pets while you’re away.

I'm not sure you'll find a more qualified dog/pet lover than Jillian. She's been an an animal lover and advocate for mistreatment of animals most of her life. She's operated a successful Rescue, crawled through places and spaces most would not even walk through to get to an animal and has been a dog owner her entire life. Jillian has personally cared for my Maltipoo, Melah, while I went to Las Vegas for a wedding for a week. There is no one except for my granddaughter that I trust with my pup! Jillian goes the extra mile to accommodate your pup... she pulled a mattress in the living room so my pup would be comfortable and slept with her. I've personally witnessed her love for all animals but dogs in particular. If one needed surgery or wheels or a brace or medication, she would make it happen to even a stray she found. If there is anyone you would need to be with your pups, she's your girl! Honestly. Cheryl Cloudy, Jasper Tx

I can't say enough great things about Jill! She is, without a doubt, one of the best dog sitters we've ever had. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. Our dog absolutely adores her-and that says a lot, because he's usually pretty shy around new people. Jill is incredibly reliable, attentive, and loving. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is not only safe and well cared for, but also happy and relaxed. She sends regular updates and photos, which give us so much peace of mind when we're away. It's obvious that she treats every dog like her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Jill is the one. We're so grateful to have found her! Jennifer Ruiz

Hello. My apology for not getting back to you sooner. I just found this email. Jillian is a friend and neighbor. I can tell you, without hesitation, that Jillian would make an excellent Rover caregiver. I think that she has the heart of Mother Nature. I could relate many stories of her rescuing animals. Jillian is not just a “sitter”….she will get down and interact with the pets. I have video of her lying in the grass in our back yard, playing with 3 dogs!!! When our dogs see Jillian at the door, they are beside themselves with excitement. Don’t let Jillian go….she is a wonder with animals….so full of care and tenderness.

Jillian Henderson is an absolutely exceptional dog sitter and dog walker! From the moment we entrusted our furry family members to her care, it was clear that Jillian has a genuine passion for dogs and an incredible ability to connect with them. Our dogs light up with excitement every time they see her, which speaks volumes about the love and attention she gives them. Jillian goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are not only well-cared for but truly happy. Her reliability, professionalism, and warm demeanor make her a dream to work with. Whether she’s taking them on fun, engaging walks or providing cozy, attentive care during sitting sessions, she tailors her approach to meet each dog’s unique needs and personality. She’s also fantastic about keeping us updated with little notes or photos, which always brighten our day! We couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our beloved pets. Jillian is a true gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or walker who will treat their dogs like family. Five stars all the way!

We spend a great deal of time together in the home. Weather permitting we also enjoy time outside in a safe and fenced area. We have lots of toys to keep them busy and walks are always fun and productive in getting extra energy out if the pet parent is ok with leash walking.
