Pet care experience

Exp. Exotic Vet Assistant | Pet Artist & Tattooist

Hi, my name is Jill and I’m an experienced animal care provider with a strong background in veterinary assistance. I previously worked at a clinic specialising in exotic and companion animals, where I cared for everything from birds and reptiles to cats and dogs 🦔 🐍🐠🐢🐇🐈🦜🐩 In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also spent many years personally raising a variety of pets — including hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, hedgehogs, turtles, tortoises, and parrots — which has given me hands-on insight into their daily needs and personalities. Through all of this, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, health needs, and how to make even the shyest cats feel safe and relaxed 😸 When I’m not caring for animals, I’m often drawing them! 🎨 As a pet portrait artist and tattooist, I love capturing the unique expressions and souls of the animals I meet. This artistic side helps me stay very patient and attentive to every small detail of your pet’s well-being 💕 I’m calm, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

With years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals – from domestic pets to exotic species – and a background working as a veterinary assistant, I offer professional and compassionate in-home pet care that goes beyond the basics. I provide services in the comfort of your pet’s own environment, where they feel most at ease. My care includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering oral medications, dog walking, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets the time, affection and attention they deserve. I’m also trained and experienced in administering subcutaneous fluids, especially for senior cats or pets with chronic conditions, handling the process gently and confidently. Thanks to my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for animals with special medical needs, behavioural sensitivities, or those who require more specialised attention. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and always committed to following your instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. 📝 If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands animals, both common and exotic, and can deliver attentive, medically informed care, I’d be honoured to support you and your pet. 💖

Jill was very kind and thoughtful with Moss. She carefully kept to Moss’ schedule and sent lots of updates over the two days. A great person to look after your dog.

Dog Walking • Mar 12, 2026

Jill was fantastic with Frank today! She took him for a nice long walk and really went the extra mile by working on his leash pulling with patience and gentle techniques. You could tell she has a real knack for dog training—she stayed calm and consistent, and Frank responded so well. She sent a couple of sweet updates during the day too, which I really appreciated. If you want someone reliable, kind, and genuinely good with dogs (especially ones who need a bit of guidance on the leash), Jill is your person. We’ll definitely be booking her again—thank you, Jill!

Barkley loved seeing Jill again! She took him on a lovely one-hour walk and kept me updated with photos throughout, which was really reassuring. I came back to a very happy and contented dog. Thanks again, Jill! 🐾

Before caring for any pet, I believe it’s essential to understand their unique needs, habits, and routines. Every animal is different, so having the right information in advance helps me provide the best possible care and ensure their comfort and safety. 💖 Here are a few things I like to know beforehand: • Medical conditions: Any ongoing health issues, allergies, medications, or treatments (e.g. subcutaneous fluids). 💊 • Feeding schedule and diet: What they eat, how much, and when. 🍽️ • Behaviour and temperament: Are they shy, reactive, friendly, anxious around strangers or other animals? 🐿️ • Daily routines: Usual walk times, playtime preferences, sleeping habits. 🐾 • Training and commands: Any specific words or cues they understand (e.g. “sit”, “stay”, “no”). 🐕 • Likes and dislikes: Favourite toys or activities, things that might frighten or upset them (e.g. loud noises, vacuum cleaners). 🎾 • Emergency contacts: Vet information and what to do if something unexpected happens. 🏥 The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can care for them in a way that feels familiar, safe, and loving — just like you would. 🥰
