About Me & What I Do...
I am a fellow pet owner, first and foremost! I believe it takes a solid foundation to raise healthy, well-adjusted pets. My partner
Chris & I have a 'blended family', comprised of 2 large breed dogs - Gretchen, a St. Bernard/Shepard mix, who is 12 and Bruiser,
a 10 year old Lab mix. Silver, a 13 year old domestic
shorthair cat rounds out the family. How did I get started in the pet sitting business? I owned a residential cleaning company for over 16
years, and because of the trust that my clients had in me even then - and my natural ability with animals, I had served as
caregiver to many of my clients' pets - whether the pet parents
were on vacation or just away at work for long periods of time.
Doggy walks, potty breaks and even overnight visits and house sitting
had become a part of my role in my business. After some time I
began getting inquiries from friends of clients, and it went from there.
Now, being a pet sitter and dog walker is a full time gig!
My service area includes: Chelsea, Dexter, Pinckney, Hell, Unadilla, Gregory and West Ann Arbor.
Also, I'm a writer & lead pets blogger to AnnArbor.com (formerly the Ann Arbor News). My goal? To edify YOU on events, issues & to share my experience.
For years, I've helped pet parents attain peace of mind by scheduling vacation visits 2-3 x per day. I work with dogs who need daily 30 minute playtime visits to help build confidence and proper socialization - or to just be a dog and burn off a little of that extra energy! I care for aging dogs who need that extra bit of care and potty breaks when Mom and Dad can't be there. I've assisted families with new puppies and kittens by scheduling regular
visits for potty breaks to facilitate easier housebreaking, and better
results with obedience training and socialization. Additionally, I've assisted clients pets who are entering their end-of-life stage, with
extra care and attention, just when they need it. . |
