If I have to work that day they get whatever care they need in the AM and when I return, I go straight to them. Often I ask the neighbor to give a midday potty break to the dogs if needed! We go for a nice walk, or jog depending on the weather. Sometimes we walk to road other times through the woods. We may go for a little outting, I bring my dog whenever I can, or spend time in the yard hanging out. Couch cuddles are a must, every day for us lol. Days off I center around my pets as much as I can :)

Information Jillian L. would like to know about your pet

Be open and honest about your dogs personality and needs! Safety and comfort of your pet and me/mine is paramount. Transparency is key and I’ll do my best to meet and exceed your pets needs

A typical day

What do you want me to do? I may take them for a walk in the neighborhood, around Saratoga, to a park. We can go for a jog if the situation is right. The real question is what does your pet want to do? I bring my pup everywhere I go basically.

Pet care experience

I have worked and lived with working police k9s and pet dogs. I grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals. I foster kittens for the local animal shelter every year for last several years, so there may be some additional felines at times. I’ve delivered babies and have cared for sick animals. My last dog was a giant breed with special needs in the end, and now have a toy Mexican hairless dog, and one indoor/outdoor cat. It’s just me and the two pets so a nice quiet calm house with fenced yard and safe neighborhood with great walking paths. I really enjoy animals and will treat your pet with love and care.

Jillian is absolutely wonderful! She responded to my request and messages quickly and worked with me on a last minute change with my pick up time. Her dog Mateo and cat Harvest are such sweeties, you can tell how well loved and cared for they are. I was so happy to get updates and pictures over the weekend with all of the fun stuff she was doing with the dogs. I can’t say enough good things and she gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands and having fun.

Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all! Highly recommend- if you want someone who both enjoys and "gets" your pets!
