LOVING
PAWS & HOUSE SITTING – a locally owned company that is one of the
region’s largest and most trusted pet/house sitting and dog walking
services, is proudly marking 5 successful years in
business this August 2010.
Loving Paws is celebrating this milestone by
increasing its financial support for the Ottawa Humane Society’s 22nd
Wiggle Waggle Walkathon, which takes place this September, and by
encouraging its clients to donate to the OHS.
Amy Shannon
Leclair, President & CEO, Loving Paws, says, “On the day we opened
we decided we needed to raise the bar about what it means to be a
professional pet/house sitter and dog walker, and we’ve challenged
ourselves about that every day since then. It’s one of the reasons
we invest so heavily in everything we do – from building and
extensive Website – now one of
Canada’s largest pet/house sitting websites where clients can easily
find information about how we do business and request our services
online 24/7, to recruiting top-notch individuals, to developing
professional documents and tools to work with.”
All told,
Loving Paws has had tremendous growth and community support since
2005 and is honoured to be able to give back to help pets in need.
Rob McCulloch, Director of Development, OHS, adds, “The Ottawa
Humane Society is pleased to once again work with Loving Paws on our
22nd annual Wiggle Waggle Walkathon fundraiser. We are always
appreciative of community-minded businesses that support our work
caring for Ottawa’s animals.”
Loving Paws was established in 2005 to give pet
parents access to Professional
Pet/House Sitters and Dog Walkers
365 days a year. By visiting the homes of clients when they leave or
are too busy with work, Loving Paws cares for pets where they are
most comfortable and safe – in their own homes.
Leclair
explains, “The benefits are numerous: pets are less stressed, they
follow their routine and diet, they don’t have to adapt to new
surroundings, they aren’t exposed to other pets’ illnesses, and they
receive lots of TLC from a sitter they get to know and trust.”
Loving Paws has
a dozen animal-loving sitters working throughout the region, most of
whom have been with the company for years and all of whom work in
their own territory. “We owe our success to our team of sitters, and
I applaud each of them for their excellent work and continued
dedication,” exclaims Leclair.
Loving Paws
specialize in giving excellent care to dogs, cats, and all types of
small furry, finned or feathered pets. The most popular services
include taking dogs out for walks, sitting cats and dogs, and
providing post-discharge medical care to most pets – all from a
heartfelt friend.
Leclair
concludes, “We hope to continue growing by
educating pet parents about the benefits of using a Professional
Pet/House Sitter and Dog Walker from Loving Paws, and to maintain
our support for the OHS!”
