Pet care experience
I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I'm the go to person in my friends and family for training and care advice of animals big and small. I have owned and cared for everything from small snakes to rodents and horses. I have worked as a dog trainer, a horse trainer, a groom, and I have worked on dairy farms since I was 14.
Reviews
An excellent experience and the first for this pup. Lady had a great time and will book again.
Excellent care as always. Thank you!
Jillian took good care of our dogs over 4 days of boarding and later during a day of dog sitting. Her location in the forest made for exciting walks and time outdoors. Her dogs were good company. And Jillian was sensitive to the needs of our dogs and expert in knowing how to draw them out when everything was new.
Jillian W. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Safety, trust & environment
Our dogs are friendly and out going. We live in a very rural area on 81 acres of hiking trails and farm land to explore. The dogs are always watched when outside. We do have a wireless fence system for dogs that are trained on the e collar and long lines for dogs that are not off leash trained. We have experience crate and rotating dogs with aggression/reactivity problems. I have rehabilitated and socialized dogs with traumatic past.

Information Jillian W. would like to know about your pet
It would be important for me to know if your dog has any behaviors I would need to watch out for around livestock and birds. We can always play away from them. I also have 2 young babies who know how to respect a dogs space and are not allowed to interact with any dog unsupervised.
A typical day
We love to hike trails on our property. We also enjoy walking by the waterfront in Belfast. Puzzle toys and mind games are a frequent thing in our house. We spend most of the day outside playing and training.
