Artist & animal lover

I am an absolute lover of all dogs! All breeds, sizes, backgrounds and personalities. They make me truly very happy and I want to do the same for them. I have 17 years experience caring for and walking dogs. I have had dogs my whole life.. I rescued my dog Lucy when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest dog and my best friend - my shadow. Please contact me for pet portrait inquiries.

There is nothing I wouldn't do for your dog! They will love their time with me and will always be given the very best care. I live in nature on the lake with a swimming pool and fenced in yard - a dog's paradise.

We recently used Rover for the first time with Jillian as our dog sitter. It was such a nice experience for us and our pups loved her. Jillian is very caring, kind and punctual. She kept us informed every day so we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Great pictures showing how happy the dogs were with Jilian's visits. Everything was in order after her attention to the dogs and some things done around the house we did not expect. We also got good feedback from her durring her visits. When we arrived home, the dogs were not stressed and happily went back to normal living. Thank you so much.

Jillian is awesome! I'm one to always feel scared to leave my dogs with others while I'm away but Jillian made me feel relieved by making sure to send me updates and pictures of my doggy, Copper. Her dog, Lucy, is super sweet and non confrontational at all so I felt like that was a plus. Jillian has a big yard and lots of space for dogs to move around. I highly recommend Jillian as a pet sitter. Not only will your dog have a great time but it will also receive lots of love and attention. Thanks again, Jillian!

Jillian was kind and friendly to both my dog and my family. Jillian would take care of my dog biweekly when I would have to work late at night. Not only did she take care of my dog-she would also pick up dog poop in my yard. I recently moved to Topeka, KS and I just wish I could have taken Jillian with me!!

Let me know if your dog requires any special care or attention. I will make sure they are given everything they need to be comfortable. I had a senior dog with arthritis and a thyroid issue so I am extra attentive and patient. If your dog needs any oral medication or lighter walks just be sure to mention it. I have also cared for many shy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety and they feel very at ease with me.
