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 did a wonderful job looking after my dog and the flat over a long weekend. He is senior who needs daily medication and he can be nervous around strangers. She immediately calmed him down reassured me with regular update, plus the flat was in perfect condition when I returned. I 100% recommend her and will go out of my way to book her again.

This is the second time we booked Jill and she was absolutely lovely. Her communication before and during the stay were great. She is extremely punctual. She was very sincere and followed all the instructions to the dot. We got constant updates and she was very receptive to tips and changes needed for our senior dog. She took good care of the house and went above and beyond in taking our bins out etc. :) Our younger dog is reactive and our senior dog has kidney disease. Jill managed their walks and their care very well and I was at ease knowing that I could trust that their schedule and needs were met. We returned from our trip a bit earlier than anticipated and she offered to make the evening meal for our dogs, which was very kind. Thank you Jill!

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.

Jillson watched our two dogs for a weekend at our home. She was always very responsive and it was easy to arrange the stay with her. She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos. We felt very secure leaving our dogs with her, and would happily book again in future.

Jill was absolutely lovely. Her communication before and during the stay were great. She arrived on time. She was very attentive and responsive throughout the day. She was sincere and followed all the instructions given. She shared a lot of pictures and kept us informed. We loved how she not only managed to give Maya her medicines but also gave us a cool tip on how to orally administer it which was very helpful. Overall, we loved the sitting experience with her and felt very safe leaving our fur babies with her. Looking forward to the next stay.

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. 🥰
