Play, Walks, & Cuddles

Pet care experience

I am a single Darling with no kids. All my children have paws. My grand nieces and nephew ages 8 years to 12 love earning their dollars helping me take care of the doggies and kitties. I am a Lyft driver and work part time when it suits me and your fur baby. I love pets and truly, deeply, miss my Muggsy of 13 years. Right now I have a very friendly male Malty Poo while his momma is in China. While here, doggies have free roam of the house and I have a huge back yard. If they spend the night, they are welcome in my bed with me but I camp in the living room with them a lot. I have tons of love to give and take them on fun walks. Im always petting heads, scratching ears, rubbing bellies, and massaging sore muscles. I have a pet friendly house and we co-exist with them. We are happy here, and all in harmony. Your doggie is welcome to join us, no matter where they put their paws. So why not treat your doggie to a Va-Cay while you are away.

Jill took great care of Ziggy. She came as promised to walk him and provided feedback and pictures. I was much mire relaxed at work knowing she would get to my place, love Ziggy and made his time alone less long and stressful. Thank you very much. I definitely would use her again in a heart beat if I would not move away. Highly recommend her service - it’s not a service to her, she loves animals and it seems it just is fun for her. Thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

If I go to your home, I feed the same amount and time of day to the schedule they are used to. If your doggie is a walker, Im always up for that. I love to explore new neighborhoods. We always end up with ear scratching or belly rubs to give them a little love while youre away.

Information Jill S. would like to know about your pet

I basically like to know if your pet has any allergies or if they are on any medications. I also like to know if they take walks and what kind of walker they are.

A typical day

We take walks at Rittenhouse Park, Paper Mill State Park, Harmony Woods neighborhood, White Clay Creek State Park - Thompson's Bridge and Glasgow Park. Lots of wooded trails, creeks, and paved paths to choose from. Indoorsy type or too hot? Theres Pet Smart, Concord Pets, and Backyard Birds right down the street for some entertainment. If I do a Drop In or a Walk, then we go in your neighborhood or park. I have lots of energy and enjoy exploring new areas. I can bring in mail, alternate lights, take out the trash. But more importantly, I talk to doggies. I can talk to them for hours and they listen and are entertained. I love to play tug of war at home and fetch the stick/ball in the backyard. Bring your toys! You'll have never ending playmates with the kids. But they can be easy going and do their own thing too if need be. They know the rules. If you're the lucky doggie here for Daycare, you get an optional free bath with products like Tea Tree shampoo, Burts Bees ear cleaner, Colloidal Silver for tear stains, coconut oil massage. (And Daycare need not be just during the day. I offer Nightcare for you 2nd and 3rd shift workers.) If you're a kitty and I visit your home, I always bring my trusty laser pointer and teaser wand :) After I get to know your baby, sometimes I have other clients that I know book the same days. We have fun doggie parties then! View my rates for additional doggies/kitties from the same family. A deal and most free! Two or three doggies or kitties are better then one.
