Jill W.

Business Owner

Jill’s passion for animals began the first time she saw one as a toddler. She has loved and cared for animals all her life including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and mice; birds; turtles, an iguana, Bettas, and even African Dwarf frogs. Jill has been a horsewoman since she was too small to reach the stirrups!

After a career in Nursing with specialties in critical care, ortho-​neuro, occupational medicine and rehabilitation, Jill completed a MBA. Then, she worked in healthcare in marketing, strategic planning, contracting and business development. Owning and operating a pet and house sitting business represents Jill’s third career. This one is inspired by her love for animals, and satisfies her life-​long desire to work in their service.
