Fun energetic and available!

Pet care experience

Being the owner of a current senior dog (have had him since he was a puppy), I understand the needs of a dog (or cat) of all ages. I am very attentive, and have a knack of picking up on an animals needs. Also being a past cat owner (passed of old age), I am also skilled with felines.

Jilly has been a pet caregiver for our Australian Shepherd many times and I recommend her in a heartbeat! She is kind, loving, conscientious and knowledgeable toward our dog, other animals and people, too! One of the pet sitting occasions that really impresses me is she noticed signs of our dog being sick and offered to take him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia! We were worried for him, but Jilly administered medical care, lots of love and clearly communicated his progress while we were away. Jilly watches for other health signs, behaviour and engages in exercise, play, and lots of affection, regularly. She is highly recommended!

Jilly has an incredible amount of animal welfare experience and this of course includes dogs! She has dogsat my two Mexican rescues which have big personalities and sometimes require some extra work. They love being around her and look forward to spending time with her and her own dog. They are very calm in her presence which is exactly what you would want from a caretaker! I don’t hesitate to leave my dogs alone with her for any period of time.

Hi, I would say that Jill would be one of your best dog walkers that you ever seen. She is truly an animal lover, especially dogs. She has a magical connection with all animals. She has great animal care experience working for a full year as a full time volunteer at at the wildlife sanctuary in Smithers BC. Jill is very personable, has great communication skills, and a worldly knowledge.

Jilly has watched our dog Luna on multiple occasions and provided excellent care for our pup. Luna had a few health issues in the past that required medications, and we trusted Jilly when we saw how much experience she had caretaking wild animals up north. Jilly was always on time and Luna was so happy to see her. They quickly became buds! *This review is Luna approved 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Other than attentiveness, time and (obviously) love, I would appreciate an in-depth conversation with each owner on what their routine, care system and behaviours of their pet is.

Information Jilly S. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely need to know of the animals quirks ahead of time, and if extra time is needed with the owner and pet in question to get acquainted with one another. The animals comfort is my priority, and the owners peace of mind

A typical day

Stimulation and enrichment as well as dedicated time is highly important, as well as recognizing when the animal needs its space. I am flexible with any activities depending on the owners requests
