Experienced Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

***Please read entire profile to ensure your dog will be a good fit for boarding with me ☺. 🐾Meet and Greets are highly encouraged 🐾*** I have owned dogs all my life and have been dog sitting for over 4 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 three border collies 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 vinyl and chain link 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.

Dogs are happy to go and look good on pickup. Jillian is very nice and you can count on her.

Awesome! Jillian accommodated the last minute request, and we enjoyed a weekend getaway with total peace of mind. Rover had a glitch and she arranged a workaround right away. Came back to a chill, well-exercised pup as always.

Excellent service, with great communication and our dog had an amazing time. It was a nice surprise to get images and video of Bowie doing activities and being happy while we were away. Highly recommend!

Jillian was amazing every step of the way. I was out of state and the person who had been looking after my dog wasn’t properly caring for him or responding to me when I’d try to check on him. Once made aware of the situation, Jillian went and picked him up and then made him a part of her family for the next few weeks. She sent me regular pictures and daily updates, knew how to meet his unique needs as a high energy Aussie, and she even talked to me about getting him into dock diving. Your furry friends would be very fortunate to be cared for by someone as dedicated and knowledgeable as Jillian. We will use her again and I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.
