ABOUT US:   Happy Paws is a family owned business.     I was that child who always found a stray animal and brought it home, cared for the animal until I found a good forever home for them. My first dog was a German Shepherd named Tina  when I was eleven since then I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with so many wonderful pets.    Today we share our home with one Greyhound, and three cats.  I still bring in the strays off from the street and search for a good forever home for them all.    After so many years teaching  preschool-kindergarten I felt I needed a change in my career,  becoming a pet sitter was my next step.  I took two years off to research this field learning all that I could about dog/cat behavior, managing, networking anything and everything related to pet sitting.   With our family's  support we started out pet sitting for my mother-in-laws dog Maxi as well as other family members and friends pets. All of our hard work has  paid off Happy Paws Pet Sitting Service, Inc. is now an established business.   It is  fun to be able to share our lives with so many wonderful animals.
