Safety, trust & environment

From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!

Information Jillian O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the following about your pet: -activity level -any fears your pet might have (example bikes, loud noises etc) -any safety concerns such as being a flight risk or reactivity issues -any medical concerns such as food allergies -what your pet likes to do

A typical day

Depending on how your pet is feeling, we can play together so they have exercise and mental stimulation and also snuggle with lots of loving pets and kisses!! Of course it’s up to your pet whatever makes them happy!

Pet care experience

I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals.

Jillian was great taking care of our kitty Yoda. She kept us up to date with pictures each visit. She went the extra mile by keeping in touch with us while we were in Spain. We are so grateful.

Jillian was very communicative, and stepped right in to help short notice. I felt comfortable that my pets were taken care of, and could enjoy my vacation. Thank you!

Jillian was amazing, attentive and communicative during her visits with our cat Felix!! She sent plently of pictures and made sure Felix was extremely loved and cared for while we're away. She's super flexible with scheduling and helped us extend the days we needed. I would book her again if she'll have us!
