Safety, trust & environment

I have had big and small dogs all throughout my life. We have a large fenced yard for our dogs and let them free roam the house. When we are away we don’t cage our current dog but will have gates in the kitchen to allow him to still have space to move but also be safe while we’re not home. I am willing to follow exact directions when caring for animals & love to take time to give them attention and love as much as possible.

Information Jillian L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what special things your pet would need when I am caring for them, knowing about their personality and traits they have will allow me to understand what they need!

A typical day

I love to go on adventures, taking dogs to new areas where they can explore, smell and play in new environments. I love playing fetch, running with animals and making sure they are getting the exercise they need!

Jilian replied to my request right away. My kitties love her. She did a great job, and I appreciated the photos.

Jillian took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. She handled everything exactly as I had requested, provided feedback about her visits and photos each time she dropped in. She is gentle and kind, and our kitties really warmed up to her. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again for care when the need arises.
