Wag More, Bark Less

Pet care experience

My loss is your gain!  I was laid off from my position as a pediatric massage therapist at the end of 2020, along with the rest of the team, due to the financial fallouts from COVID-19. I'm looking at it as a gift though. Really. These past years I've had very limited time being able to serve animals, but now I finally get to spend more time caring for yours! I have lifelong experience caring for animals; not only my own, but my families and friends' in their homes, and ours. I am also a Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist with additional training in Healing Touch for Animals. These days, my husband and I get to spend our time and give our love to Lucy and Grigio. Our Lucy pup is 10 years old and Grigio cat is 3. They are the best of friends, which we are still amazed by to this day. They play, curl up together at times, and Grigio loves to groom Lucy-especially her eye goobers. They're like a Hallmark movie, minus the mistletoe.  I'm looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and I'm definitely comfortable with all types of animals - big and small. If my calendar shows unavailability for the dates you need, you can still send me a message as sometimes I am able to work with requests.

We really appreciated Jill. She took vary good care of our kitties. Always let us know what she did and sent us lots of pictures of the Kitties. I would use her again.

Jill is just wonderful. I can’t imagine a better sitter and friend for our cat! She goes above and beyond and always sends us many photos and updates. Finding her has been such a blessing
