History

Established in 2005.

While I have been offering pet sitting and dog walking services since 1982 when I was in middle school, my business name has only been established since 2005. Before that time, my services were offered mainly to family and friends… and friends of family and friends. I started offereing Mobile Grooming in 1991 after graduating from the SouthWest Texas Pet Grooming Institute (now gone) in San Antonio, Texas. At that time, it was one of only 3 schools in the country that taught students on live animals. (Grooming is now offered only to current pet-​sitting clients.)

LaLainya T.

Business Owner

Hi! My name is LaLainya and I am a huge animal lover. My mom worked as a vet tech and I remember many afternoons spent helping out by feeding and watering overnight stays and walking many of the dogs. This was at the age of 5 (probably wouldn’t happen in this day and age, but things were different back then.) By age 6 I was bathing cats and pilling dogs. At 11 I was assisting with injections. I have done volunteer work with the SPCA. I have done work with rescue animals including Greyhounds (where I received instruction on the T-​Touch Massage Method), wolfdogs, goats, hedgehogs, cats, turtles, rats, ferrets and guinea pigs. While my first paying clients were when I was 12, I did not become a full-​time professional pet care provider until 2005. I am very excited to be able to offer dedicated and professional pet care services to my community. I look forward to serving the needs of you and your pets!
