About: I have a two year old pitty-mix and am experienced in puppy training and care! I’ve had dogs my whole life but also had a leopard gecko for over a decade and lived with a cat in the past! I’m open to all and would love to hang with your furry (or scaly) little one. I’m a recent grad looking for full time employment and I have all the time in the world until the fall to care for your pet! I likely won’t be able to keep your pet in my home as I have a full family with a dog of my own but I’m open to it on a case-by-case basis. I have a fenced in yard. However I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs in your home however is best!

“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”

“Jeffrey takes great care of our pup, Tia. We used him for visits and walks prior to our most recent week vacation. We recently went away for a week and Jeffrey stayed at our home. He followed any/all directions we had left for our dog and kept us in the loop daily when we checked in. We trust him to stay in our home and take great care of our dog. Our dog is typically anxious and when we got home from our trip, we saw that Tia ate very well while we were gone which is sometimes a struggle when we leave her. We were very happy with her care. We look forward to continuing to use Jeffrey for future trips and daily walks.”

“Rosary has been a life saver. My husband is sick and she has been very flexible and helping with whatever is needed. Today she spent the entire day with our toy poodle Georgy while we made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to my husbands doctor. He is 1.5 hours away so it’s a long day. Georgy was completely happy and tired when we got home. She is 8 months so tiring her out takes a lot of play time. I would highly recommend Rosemary.”

About: I've had cats my entire life, I pet sit for 2 dogs during the summer before I could get a job and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

Jillian is a solid choice for both house sitting and pet sitting. We had her do both and she was excellent. She cared for our Beagle and kitty and they were happy and healthy when we came home after a week away. Our house was in great condition and our plants were well taken care of. Jillian was professional, attentive, caring, and did everything we asked of her. From our perspective, you can't go wrong with hiring Jillian. We will certainly be using her in the future!
