Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment, but there is plenty of green space surrounding the building. It is super easy to use the elevator and take them downstairs. The apartment is very spacious & clean which offers a lot of space.

Information Jillian S. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know of any typical times that they normally go outside to use the bathroom and what times of the day they are normally fed. Also if there is any medication that they currently take.

A typical day

I usually wake up early in the morning and go on either a run/walk in the morning. There is a dog park close to my apartment that dogs love to mingle with other dogs at. Throughout the day we will play stimulating games and go outside even more.

Jillian was amazing with our lab, Frankie, this week! We were so nervous to leave her as we’re new to the city but Jillian sent updates and photos all throughout the day every day that we were gone and gave us so much peace of mind. I know Frankie had a blast and everything at home was perfect upon return. Thanks so much, Jillian! I’m sure Frankie can’t wait for us to book again!

Jillian was wonderful with my 2 dogs. I came home after a long week away to content pups. They’re high energy dogs and she gave them good exercise. I got updates and pictures everyday. She was respectful of my home and left it very clean.

Jillian was wonderful with my 2 high energy dogs. They liked her right away and I came home to calm and happy pups. We’re new to the city and she took great care of them.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
