Friendly Canadian for weekend care

Pet care experience

I'm an active Canadian who lives in the Lower East Side and loves walking and animals, and walking animals. My family has had golden retrievers my entire life and I've also co-parented a sweet-as-pie bull-pei who remains in Toronto (I miss her dearly!). I spend my days as a Communications Director in Chelsea and am looking for furry company over the weekends. I'm attentive, caring and playful with pets, but also understand the need for consistency and discipline in promoting good behavior (eager to learn all commands and practices you've developed). When hosting a pet, they become my main priority and focus of my schedule. If you're going away for the weekend or simply need a sitter for one night, I'd love to care for (and cuddle with) your canine!

The mini-review is this: Jillian was phenomenal. Responsible, kind, attentive and lovely to both my dog and me, I came back to a happy pup and a well cared for apartment. The longer review is this: After taking such great care of my nervous rescue pit bull this weekend, I would now trust Jillian to hold the country's nuclear codes. She was calm in the face of stress (Bandit was snarling as she entered our apartment). She was cool (as my territorial pup followed her around the apartment). And she was terrifically responsive and helpful as I tried to offer suggestions from a distance. Through patience, kindness and great common/dog sense, Jillian managed to win Bandit over and sent me the pictures that proved it. Jillian was terrific from first contact, was happy to meet us quickly, and is clearly smart and responsible. Obviously mine's not the easiest dog to handle -- as mentioned, rescue pit bull -- but that Jillian was up to the challenge and plied Bandit with belly rubs and affection until she was able to bring out her sweet disposition, pleased me tremendously. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Very reliable! Jillian came and picked Lily up for a walk - Lily was very happy and excited when I got home, Jill left a little note after the walk with a brief update and let me know that lily had gone both pee and poo which was great! Will 100% book her services again when I need to, great experience, no issues.

Jillian has been one of the most thoughtful and dependable dog caregivers we have ever had! She watched our 9 year of mini-schnauzer Ruffles for over a week. Ruffles is pretty high-maintenance, with several special dietary restrictions and medications. Jillian was so reliable with it all and more than happy to respond to Ruffles' needs. Most importantly, Jillian was so fun and loving... Ruffles had a blast with her and didn't miss us at all :)

Jill has looked after my dog many times, for short periods as well as when I am out of town for a week. I know that she grew up with dogs and really loves spending time with them. She does a great job enforcing good behaviour with lots of cuddles and treats! Jill definitely puts your dog first and will make sure that they are well looked after and well cared for. I'd recommend, 10/10!
