Highlights
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 🥰

Qualifications
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. 💖
Ratings and reviews
Jillson watched our dogs overnight and they had a great time. She kept us updated on their day with photos and followed their routine as requested. She left two lovely drawings of the dogs which was amazing. She is clearly very talented!
Jillson is an excellent dog sitter. She has looked after my French Bulldog Odin who has a fairly strict regime and needs after a serious operation earlier this year, and she tends to him like she’s know him for years. It took a lot for me to trust another dog sitter after being badly let down by one before and I’m very grateful to Jillson for the care she’s given to my boy. She even drew Odin on one of her visits to him and this is something I’ll cherish forever. Jillson is also very respectful of my home and leaves it spotless after each visit.
Jillson took amazing care of our dachshund and would highly recommend her for everyone. She is punctual and professional each time, provided excellent care and attention to detail while looking after our dog. The regular of updates throughout the stay were really reassuring and gave us great piece of mind knowing out dog was happy and well looked after. We would be a 100% happy to book her in the future!
Mouse was so well looked after. I haven’t left her with anyone outside of the family before, as she is still a pup, so I was a little anxious… I had no reason to be. Mouse had a great day, with lots of walking and attention from Jill. I cannot thank Jill enough. Plenty pictures and updates throughout the day, and a very sleepy pup to come home to. Thanks again Jill x
Jillson was so calm and kind to our dog Ricky. It was his first time having a dog sitter overnight in our new flat, and Jillson put us at ease, sent us lots of photo updates and messaged us through the day. Jillson looked after our flat, everything was left spotless, and Ricky had a really happy time, he was giving Jillson cuddles and playing with toys and we were really happy he was in such good hands. We will definitely book Jillson again and would recommend!
Jillson went above and beyond to make sure Percy was happy and well cared for. He clearly felt very comfortable with her and we received great updates throughout her stay. Jillson followed all our requests and schedule and took great care of our home too. I hope we get a chance to book Jillson again.

- 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. 🥰
