Full-Time Experienced Dog Sitter

***Please read entire profile to ensure your dog will be a good fit for boarding with me ☺. 🐾Meet and Greets are highly encouraged🐾*** I’m sorry but I no longer offer meet and greets Friday evening though Sunday evening*** ***Due to excessive requests of new clients I now require at least 2 weeks notice of care so that there is proper time to schedule a meet and greet. I cannot take any new clients without a meet and greet. Please plan accordingly. This is for the best interest of your pet. I can assure you it’s best for all parties involved*** I have owned dogs all my life and have been dog sitting for over 7 years now. I am very active in dog sports with my own dogs. Walks, runs, fetch and cuddles will all be part of your pets experience with me. Fun for your dog is a priority! I also realize how much you love them and I understand wanting them to be safe when you aren't there. I can help with anything you might require. I have a vast assortment of necessary dog supplies including crates, toys, enrichment activities, and beds. I have learned much about dog behavior and keep every dogs personal interest in mind when they stay with me. For the safety of all dogs in my care I require every dog to eat all meals/snacks in crates as well as sleep in crates. Due to this it's important that your dog is comfortable being in a crate BEFORE they stay with me. I love all dogs, but I know not every dog loves other dogs and that is okay while they stay with me. I can easily accomadate that need. I currently own two border collies and my recent addition is a chocolate lab who are my world! I have children who love dogs. They love to play and give belly rubs to the dogs. Drop-off and Pick-Up Windows 6am-8 am/6pm-8pm. This is to minimize disruptions for dogs in my care while also keeping to our daily schedule. 1 booking night constitutes 24 hours of care. Any additional time that doesn't add another night will be added on as daycare. I am a stay at home full time mom. If I do leave it's never for more than a few hours and while in my absence I crate all dogs for safety. I have a large(half acre) yard fully fenced with 6 foot wood throughout that was fashioned with dogs in mind. My family and I enjoy playing with the dogs in our yard. If your dog doesn't like kids or dogs that is not a problem I am more than happy to spend solo time with them so they don't miss out on the fun.

Jillian was more than confident in her ability to accommodate Asher. He's a male 6 year old purebred Rottweiler. He loved his stay and I was more than comfortable with him being away from me. I would highly recommend Jillian to care for your dog. Asher will be coming back to her for sure. Thank you Jillian

This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with Jillian. You can tell she really knows her dogs and gives them the care and attention they need. We will definitely be using her again.

Jillian is an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic dog sitter! She’s always there when I need her, even in a pinch, and she takes amazing care of Rocky. She truly understands dogs and always has great suggestions and makes sure Rocky is happy and well cared for. Her communication is top-notch. She’s quick to respond, even when I message early in the morning, and she always lets me know her availability right away. It’s clear she loves what she does, and Rocky absolutely loves her too! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely great with pets, Jillian is the one. Rocky and I couldn’t ask for better! Thank you Jillian!

Second time my pup has stayed with Jillian and she’s amazing! I can tell that he’s happy there and enjoys his time with her and her family. Both her and her family adore my pup and always compliment him! She even gives me tips to help me with training. Always will book if we’re going away and need a sitter! Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

We are up early for breakfast and morning yard time. If your dog requires lunch I’m happy to accommodate that as well. If your dog gets along with other dogs they can play together under constant supervision in my yard. If the weather doesn’t cooperate we can just move into the garage or house. Last time out bed is generally around 830-9 pm.

If there is anything specific or important about your dog that would help them be more comfortable staying with me please don’t hesitate to let me know. I understand different breeds require different thinking and over the years I’ve become educated on many. Separation anxiety is a common issue with dogs and I’m happy to help if that is a concern. Feel free to tell me anything that will help me keep your dog as stress free as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
