History
Established in 2010.
After watching her two Maltese pups Priscilla and Portia (Prissy and Poopsie) on webcam hiding behind water bowls at various doggy daycares and posh dog hotels, Floofins & Co. founder, Kristin Skelton, decided there had to be a better way to keep her girls safe and happy while she was away from home. While some dogs thrive at doggy daycare and with group play, her’s did not.
After looking into other ways to care for her pets, Kristin found a concept that is gaining popularity in the Midwest, the in-home pet sitter. Already having an entrepreneurial spirit, she found something she could be passionate about: providing an additional care option for Chicagoland pet parents. An animal lover, pet owner and shelter volunteer, Kristin left the 9 to 5 for the 6 to 10 to follow her passion for pets.
Since its inception, Floofins & Co. has grown into a competent and caring team of pet lovers ready to care for your Floofins like their own. Team bios available at www.floofinsandco.com/our-people.
