It began in 2003 when a friend requested I replace her in caring for a dog in his home.
I loved staying with the little guy. Soon, I met a couple more families who needed my help with their pets.
It was so delightful and gratifying, as well as a wonderful addition and fun contrast to my full-time kitchen design work.
In 2010, I was laid off from my job. I looked long and hard for more design work. During an interview for a promising kitchen design job, I asked, “Will it be certain that I can leave in the evening in time to feed my pet’s dinner?” The answer was, “No.” I chose not to take the job.
At that moment, I knew that caring for the animals trumped working in design. I would NOT let them down by giving up on them after I’d established a relationship. I was passionate about caring for those little ones and bringing peace of mind to their parents when they were away.
So, I set about creating this fantastic business that is so fulfilling. Using my design skills, I created a logo, business cards, and a website. By 2013 I had my dream business up and running. I never looked back.
Since then, my mission has been to provide the highest quality, in-home professional pet care available by offering unsurpassed personal service to the pets and their parents. Owning, operating, and strengthening Stay at Home Pet Services is a full-time career for me.
As caregiving has always been so natural to me, my business focus is three-fold;
- Offer loving care to the animals of Cincinnati
- Give trustworthy, dependable options to you, their parents.
- Provide opportunities to other passionate pet sitters in our area.
We are so excited, also, to have the opportunity to contribute consistently to two of our favorite non-profit rescues in Cincinnati; Ohio Alley Cat Rescue (OAR) and Three Sisters Pet Rescue/Ohio Hound Rescue.
Meeting and getting to know a new client will never cease to make my heart swell with the thought of enhancing the lives of the furry kids and their beloved people.
