Pet care experience

How many dogs did you take?! Nine.

Just moved to Chicago and missing my fur family back home! I grew up in a household where we had at least two pets at a time, most likely three, so it was very normal to come home to. Fun fact: we've bred two of our Labrador retrievers! At these points in time, we've had up to 10 animals in the house. Outside of volume, I’m very comfortable with high maintenance animals (our cat was a Persian) and larger animals (Labrador retrievers). I work remotely and my apartment is pet friendly so I can make myself accessible most of the time!

Jillian did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Tillie. She sent sweet pictures and updates so I knew Tillie was doing alright. Tillie can be a bit of a handful around dinner time so I was appreciate that Jillian could handle the task!

Jillian is someone who I would describe as enthusiastic, outgoing, and most of all reliable. She demonstrates a great level of responsibility and attention to detail with everything she does. She has a great connection with dogs and cats of all natures, and goes out of her way to ensure that animals, be it her pets or otherwise, are given great care and love. From personal experience, I've seen the way Jillian positively interacts with my cat, and seen the love she shows him reciprocated back. Animals in general just get along exceptionally well with her. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure your critter(s) are given wholesome, quality care, Jillian is the right choice.

Greetings! I am writing on behalf of Jillian Scully with regards to her experience, commitment, and overall love for animals. Jill is by nature a loving and caring person who treats and cares for all animals in a respectful and genuine manner. Jill has on many occasions cared for our cat and dogs; feeding, walking, cuddling and constantly providing love and security for all. Jill has the perfect temperament to care for all animals and I recommend her services to all.

Jill is so great and caring with all dogs. My dog is a 75lb rescue pit/husky mix who’s very nervous around people and tends to growl and bark, especially if they’re in our home, but with Jill he warmed up to her instantly and sleeps with his head on her lap showing an amazing amount of trust. There’s very few people I would trust leaving my dogs with and she’s one of them!
