Meet Kristin & Scott:

 

After getting Married, we opened our cable tv communications business. For over 20 years we traveled the country with the  company providing cable television sales and installation services for cable company. We grew our broadband company to a very successful business with over 30 employees.  And we loved working together and eventually, we landed in Ohio where for ten years we stayed and started a family. But at the end of 2013, we knew in our hearts that it was time for a change. So we decided to pack up our three boys and head home to Dunnellon, Florida  and turn our passion for pets into a business. 

 

Our love was with animals and we reevaluated what would make us happy in a job. It was so clear to us that we should start a pet care company- provide loving, detailed care for your beloved pets  in their own homes, too. We feel incredibly lucky to be able to say that we love what we do!

 

We have always had a houseful of fur-babies. Currently we have 3 Dalmatians, 1 Australian Shepherd, 4 Chickens, 4 Guinea Hens, and a Rabbit. 

 

We live on 2 acres in Dunnellon and are looking at adding to our family with a pig and a goat. There isn't an animal that we have met - that we don't fall in love with ( well maybe not so snakes)! 

 

Meet Buddy: (Our Inspiration)

 

Buddy was our first Dalmatian. We adopted him when he was 3 months old and then began our absolute love of Dalmatians. When Buddy turned 10 he started to develop a limp. After a vet visit, we were informed that Buddy had arthritis in his hips, a bulging disc in the middle of his back and a degenerative disc in his lower spine. At that time we were told to prepare ourselves for his passing. We were devastated. After a second opinion meeting, with probably the best vet ever, Dr. Gessel from Pickerington, OH, we changed his medications and got him a doggie wheel-chair - we were able to have 3 more wonderful years with him. Losing Buddy was the hardest experience we had ever gone through together. We were told that Buddy would let us know when it was time ...... he didn't. He wouldn't let go of the life he had with us and we couldn't let him go. It was Dr. Gessel that told us that we (Buddy, Scott and Kristin) had to be strong and let Buddy go to join our other fur-babies over the Rainbow Bridge.
