ABOUT US
I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember – mixed breeds, German Shepherds, a miniature schnauzer, and hounds and hunting dogs when I was growing up, and Boston Terriers, a German Shepherd, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a mixed breed, and a Boston Terrier/Pug mix as an adult. I grew up on a small farm, and we had almost every animal you could – indoor and outdoor cats, gerbils, a rabbit, pigs, a cow, a goat, ponies, horses (no birds – my sister was allergic). I was the kid in high school who took care of the 40+ rats for the biology class. We even had a boa constrictor for a while.
I’m currently the proud owner of Thayrone, a Rhodesian Ridgeback; Titus, a beautiful brindle mutt; and Teeka, a “Bug” (Boston/Pug cross). I’m a native of Michigan (the Lansing area), and have lived in Ann Arbor since 1989. I started Peaceable Pets in 2004.
I currently have two fantastic people working with me; they are bonded and insured members of the Peaceable Pets team. Like me, they’re non-smoking adults who take seriously the charge of caring for your pets and home. I work closely with them to make sure that you’re comfortable entrusting your pets to them, and that they’re confident in their ability to care for your home and your animals.
