Availability

I currently work fully remote and am available to stay in your home with your animals. My work allows me great flexibility so I’m able to accommodate almost any arrangement. I am available for short notice and long stays. For house sitting, I do require that pets can be left alone for 4 hours at a time. Any booking that does not meet this requirement will be booked at a Constant Care rate of 1.5x standard price.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your pets in your home, I strive to give them as normal an experience as possible. I will spend as much time with them as I can (and they want) so they don’t feel alone. I will work with you to maintain existing schedules and routines. I am careful to make sure your house is also kept safe and clean while you’re away.

Information Jillian L. would like to know about your pet

Special needs, timed medications/feedings, separation anxiety, fears, and bad habits. I’m comfortable working with all of these as long as I know and can plan ahead!

A typical day

I’m down for whatever your pets like. We can walk or swim or fetch. I also really love lazy couch time. I’m happy to do everything I can to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I’m available to them whenever they need me.

Pet care experience

New client promo: https://www.rover.com/sit/jillil71514 I’ve had my own cats and dogs since childhood and regularly pet sit for friends and relatives. In addition to regular pet care, I also have experience administering oral medications and subcutaneous fluids for cats. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and multiple animals.

Jillian took wonderful care of our boy, Henny. She stayed in our home and watched him for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. It's always difficult leaving our dog behind, but Jillian made us feel completely at ease. She is kind, professional, and genuinely great with dogs. When we returned, Henny was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Jillian was great! She responded super quickly, and even helped us navigate the right options in the app. She did an amazing job with our pup, on time, and incredibly personable. Looking forward to having her spend time with our pup again!

Jillian was great! So communicative and easy to coordinate with. She took great care of Stevie and has a back yard for your dog to play in! We would love for her to watch Stevie again!
