Jillian can care for
Availability
I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent.

About Jillian M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.
Information Jillian M. would like to know about your pet
Before our first walk, please share your dog’s routine and personality, any triggers (dogs/people/cars), and their leash manners (pulling, barking, fearfulness). Let me know what gear you use (harness/collar), whether treats are okay, and any allergies or health needs. I also appreciate knowing if you prefer a decompression sniff walk only, or if you’d like light cue practice during walks.
A typical day
Walks with me are a mix of gentle structure and fun enrichment. We’ll start with a quick gear check, then enjoy a calm walk with plenty of sniffing and exploring. I like to add little “brain breaks” like sit/wait at corners, and we can do light heel check-ins or a name game if you’d like. I always go at your dog’s pace and make sure they come home happy and fulfilled.

Pet care experience
I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome.
Reviews
Jillian has a natural way with my dog that’s hard to miss. She’s thoughtful, gentle, and very aware of what my dog needs in the moment. She puts real care into every walk, and I always feel confident knowing my dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for with her
Jillian is a dependable and compassionate dog walker who treats every dog with care and respect. She’s calm, attentive, and naturally great at handling different personalities, making pets feel comfortable and well cared for on every walk.
Jillian is wonderful with my dog. He loves when she comes for their walk. She handles him with love and does a little training as well. Highly recommend her.
Jillian is an exceptional dog walker who is truly knowledgeable, patient, and deeply caring with every dog she works with. She takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and needs, which helps her build trust quickly—especially with shy or high-energy dogs. Jillian is reliable, attentive, and safety-focused, always making sure walks are both enjoyable and secure. Her calm demeanor, strong communication, and genuine love for animals really set her apart. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Jillian caring for their dog.
