Happy 12th Birthday, Floofins & Co.!

by Leave a Comment

Today marks our 12th anniversary and we are so glad to still be in business despite the impact of the global pandemic. We want to thank each of our clients for their continued support and our staff for their loyalty and determination. 

As we kick off our 12th year in business, there are many things that we have planned that we are excited to share with you. Let’s get right to it!

What’s Ahead

First, our dog training program is up and running. If you have a pandemic pet or one that has forgotten what it is like to be around other humans, now is the time to lock in some training. Pop over to the website to check out the various options. Let our trainers concentrate on the specifics you want to work on. All classes are individual and are designed to meet your particular needs.

Second, we will be launching our Floofins Couture line soon. Stay tuned for details. After we do a test run with our staff, we will provide you all the details on how you can rock your Floofins attire. You’ve asked and one of the benefits of the pandemic was some time to develop this line of products. Information coming soon!

Finally, we know that many small pet care companies did not survive the shutdown. While we are always happy to bring new clients into our family, the influx between demand and available staff forced us to establish our first ever waitlist. We hope to add those patient future floofins family members to the fold soon. Thanks to our clients for helping us locate some additional staff!

We can’t emphasize how much we appreciate our clients. Thanks for sticking with us and we hope that 2022 – our 12th year in business – is the start to some great moments ahead. Happy Birthday, Floofins & Co.! 

Happy New Year To Our Floofins Family

By the time this reaches you, Floofins & Co. will have completed our holiday season schedule.
We are grateful that we were able to care for your floofins during the holidays. It was busy and we implemented our first waitlist in the company’s history. Our team deserves a huge shout out for their dedication and commitment to making sure each floofin was tucked in and fed, medicated, and loved. Thank you to each and every one!

Current Status

We, like every industry, have been seeing increased demands for pet care service. And we are working diligently to bring on new staff to allow us to serve the clients on our wait list. We encourage you to take advantage of our staff referral program if you know of any great potential team members. 
We feel gratitude for your support during 2021 and are hopeful, despite the latest variant, that 2022 will continue to see more ordinary experiences for all of us.

Looking Ahead

Plunging into 2022, we have new things coming your way. Be sure to follow us on all the social media sites for details as they are announced.
What does founder Kristin Skelton see on the horizon as she looks into the upcoming year? “I’m looking forward to introducing our dog training arm to help our pet parents work in their homes on pet behaviors they want to work on! Especially with all of the new dogs that have gotten adopted this holiday season,” she said. “Additionally, we will be unveiling our Floofin Couture clothing line for clients to purchase. It’s been a frequent request and we are excited to be able to get it off the ground. We are also excited to bring these items to our table at all of our summer events in 2022.”
We wish you a Happy New Year and look forward to spending time with your floofins soon.

Christmas Day In Floofinsland

by Leave a Comment

 

It was Christmas Day and all through the land,

Floofins & Co. was out lending a hand.

 

With floofins great and small,

We cared for them all.

 

Furry, feathered, finned and scaled,

We took photos and left notes, detailed.

 

We fed, we walked, we tucked them in.

We played, medicated, even gave insulin.

 

While you, their pet parents, were away,

We stepped in to give them a good holiday.

 

Because to us they are like family.

Even if some of your relatives don’t agree.

 

So we kissed each and every one good night.

And wished them a holiday happy and bright.

 

To care for your floofins is our greatest joy.

It’s better than a BarkBox filled with toys.

 

Thank you for trusting us to care for your pet.

Our hearts are full when their needs are met.

 

Merry Christmas and have a safe trip home.

Good tidings to you, no matter where you roam.

 

Floofins & Co. is here for you,

Because we love your pet, almost as much as you do!

 

Happy Holidays!

Small Business Saturday and Gratitude

This year, as the world tries to get itself back to some degree of normal, we want to express our gratitude and celebrate Small Business Saturday.

One of the reasons that we are still standing is because of our clients. We want to take a few moments, if you will indulge us, by saying thanks.

For each of you who were able to continue using Floofins & Co.’s services, even if you didn’t absolutely require them, thank you. Your support has allowed us to keep staff in place so that you don’t lose any of your favorite pet care specialists. [Read more…] about Small Business Saturday and Gratitude

Today marks our 11th anniversary and we are so glad to still be in business despite the impact of a global pandemic. We want to thank each of our clients for their continued support and our staff for their loyalty and determination. 

As we begin looking forward to a more normalized future in the coming months, we want to highlight some of our hopes and also get feedback from our clients.

“We had planned to celebrate the confluence of our 10-year anniversary and our selection as the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters Business of the Year during 2020,” founder Kristin Skelton, recounted. “COVID had other plans.”

Floofins & Co. provided essential services to frontline workers and healthcare professionals and their pets while adjusting to shifting state and local protocols. And as things begin to reopen, we will continue to serve all of our clients and maintain our common sense safety protocols.  [Read more…] about Floofins & Co. Celebrates 11 Years in Business
