Hi, fur parents! My name is Jillian, hailing from New Jersey. I am an artist living in Pilsen, and I am so looking forward to showering your pup with tons of love! While in school, my own rescue Annika is in NJ with my parents. Uprooting Annika to the Windy City would not be fair to her so I made the difficult decision to keep her at home... but it's left a gaping hole in my heart. Sitting for your pet will be just like taking care of my own! lots of walks, tons of playtime, and cuddles galore. I am more than happy to meet and greet with your pup before they need sitting to go over their daily routine with you. I am currently in between semesters and can spend all day with your pet if that's something you prefer (and I greatly enjoy!). *For additional sitting or walking required past 12pm on your last requested day, another full day charge will be added to your total. I will ask for your departure and arrival times beforehand to make sure your pet has the care you're comfortable with!* I have been around dogs all of my life, taking care of puppies to senior citizens. I have dog sat for numerous families, often requiring overnight stays and am more than happy to tend to your house while you're away. I am comfortable continuing potty training and administering oral medication if necessary. I have lots of experience calming nervous dogs who are afraid of thunder, fireworks, and other loud noises as my own is a nervous nelly. I am also happy to walk your pooch during the day while you're at work or to check in on your pup if you're out for an extended period of time. To me, any spent time with a dog is time well spent.
