I'm Jill Dalton, owner/operator of Cozy Home & Pet Care. I was born and raised in Washington, D.C. I have lived in  California, Greece, Hawaii, Maryland and now Florida. As you can see, I've lived all over and have been fortunate enough to always have my pets.

My brother and I always had a menagerie of pets. Everything from mice, hamsters, turtles, frogs, fish, birds, rabbits, ducks, baby chicks to horses. Thru the years, I've had many different breeds of dogs and cats.

I enjoy doing Pet Therapy for senior citizens and mentally challanged children. They love my 20lb. Maine Coon cat, Santie No Claws.

My husband and I are very involved with our extended family, which consists of Santie No Claws and KeKe, both Maine Coon cats and both found in the giveaway section of the newspaper (lucky for us). That leaves Poogie, our precious three year old Shih Tzu, whom we adopted thru a newspaper ad. They are all an integral part of our life.

We are very fortunate to live a few blocks away from our daughter, son-in-law and  grandson, who is our pride and joy. Our son, unfortunately, lives further up north  in Maryland. We wish he lived closer. Shussy, our daughter's Shih Tzu is my one and only "grandaughter". I take care of her whenever needed. 

I've cared for so many animals in the past that I decided to start my own business because of my deep love and passion for animals. I'm an animal welfare advocate. Being an animal welfare advocate means that you respect, value, and believe in the humane treatment of animals and their inherent right to life.

I was influenced by my niece in Maryland, who owns a successful pet sitting and doggie day care business.

Can't wait to meet all my new furry and unfurry friends!
