Time with a dog is time well spent.
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Jillian was super great. She was able to help me out for a last-minute trip and kept me up-to-date with photos and messages regarding my dog.
Jillian was very responsive and did a great job taking care of our dog Kibo. She was also very understanding and flexible. Our dog loved her, and she did a great job taking care of her!
Jillian was great. She came over to our place to meet our dog prior to pet sitting. She took our dog out for a brief walk to get to know her. She sent us texts throughout the weekend to let us know how our dog was doing. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her services in the future.
Jillian is wonderful!! My dogs just love her!! As a matter of fact, I think they just might like her more than me! But I am so glad they do, it makes going away a little easier knowing how well they will be treated and how happy they are to see her!
About Jillian S.
Communication
Skills
Information Jillian S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to in person or through email run through your pup's typical routine, including times they are used to being walked, medical history, medication, treats they are allowed, and any quirks they might have. Each dog is unique, and I find dogs are more at ease when I follow the schedule they are used to. I am conscientious of the fact that some pups have rules in the household, and as long as you let me know beforehand the dos and don'ts, I will uphold them!
A typical day
In my family, dogs are a part of the family, and I will treat yours just the same. I spend as much time as possible with your dog, going for walks, playing with them, and lounging with them as they see fit. I am comfortable spending the night with dogs, and am used to (and love) pups sleeping in the same bed at night.
