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.

Calm and Cozy pet services

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.

Thank you, Jillian, for being so sweet & patient with our Angel. Our 8 year old golden retriever spent 4 days & nights with Jillian & was well-loved & looked after. This was our dog’s first experience boarding & she is naturally a little nervous (her parents were too), but Jillian was wonderful with her. She sent thorough updates every day & even went so far as to hand feed her when she had trouble eating. We are very thankful for the wonderful job she did & are looking forward to Angel’s next visit!
