Meet the Business Owner

Katie O.

Business Owner

I was part of a corporate lay off and had planned on pet sitting as a retirement project. Since the lay off came earlier than expected, I guess I retired earlier than expected. My background is customer service. I have been in sales since the ripe old age of 8. I had done more cold calling by the time I was twelve than most adults by the time they turn 34. I love the animal world and always have. I connected with them early on. I have always had pets and can’t imagine my life with out them. I found a commonality with many people and felt the best thing to do was act on it and share my love of animals with others by caring for them in the pet parents absence. What fun! I grew up in Missouri in a farming community. I went to college there and raised my daughter there. I still have family in Missouri but I love the ocean breezes and the sunshine here in Florida. I came here on a job offer and a year later the company went bankrupt but I loved the area so much I stayed!
