Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer in home care as I rent with 2 inside dogs. One of them is my Chewie. He will not need to come to your house unless you are comfortable with it and ok with having a playdate. Otherwise he will stay at home and hang out with the family while I am off working. I am dependable, love animals, and love being active.

Information Jillian J. would like to know about your pet

I need to know before hand about any medication needs and diet or allergy specifications beforehand. As well as are there any specific behaviors about your pet that could limit outside or inside areas.

A typical day

I have lots of places to go to for play outside as well as any inside places that we can go to for socialization if your pet is up for and meets the criteria for that.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of family dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also always had a deep love for dogs specifically. I formerly helped handle dogs for a musher for 3 years and partook in part time sprint mushing as well. I still help mushers at races. I know basic first aid for animals should it ever be needed. I'm just looking for extra work to help pay bills as my youngest son races sled dogs and anything helps fund the sports.

So grateful to have Jillian watch our dogs over the solstice weekend. She came over and stayed at our house looking after our two dogs. Sent some great update pictures over the weekend. House was in great shape when we got back. Would highly recommend Jillian.

Does great with my quirky husky. He is well loved when I have Jill stop in and take care of him.

Jill was great with our two dogs and two cats. She sent daily updates with photos and sometimes videos as well. She really put my mind at ease while we were gone knowing that the pups and kitties were well taken care of. She even brushed them all. Her two boys also helped which was great for extra snuggles and playtime. It also gave our pups more exposure to kids, (they did great with them) which they don't usually get. Since we had been gone for two weeks Jill vacuumed, washed towels and sheets and left the house clean. She also watered the garden and flowers while we were gone. I would recommend her to others looking for a sitter who is going to care for your pets and communicate really well. I would ask her to sit again in the future if the need comes up, especially now that the pups know her and they really seemed to like her. Thank you!

Mac had an awesome time and was so well cared for. Jill went above and beyond taking him out and about and socializing him.
