Celebrating Birthdays or Gotcha-Days

by Leave a Comment

When it comes to pets, birthdays are just as big a deal around the Floofins & Co. staff as our human friends and family’s birthdays. Well, maybe we go a tad more over the top for our pets, but why not? 

July 10th marks the 11th birthday for the original Floofins: Portia and Priscilla, aka “Prissy”. The girls will be celebrating, as they do every year, with a personalized liver cake from Happy Dog Bakery in Downers Grove. 

For the rest of us out in Floofins-land, birthdays (or gotcha-days for those of us who have rescues without official birthdays) are an opportunity to do something new and unusual or just a comforting ritual for your pet.  [Read more…] about Celebrating Birthdays or Gotcha-Days

Subaru-SketchPresents 4 Pets 2015

At Floofins & Company we have the pleasure of visiting pets in their homes, but it is important to also help the not-so-fortunate pets still looking for their forever homes. We recently wrapped up another successful Presents 4 Pets drive to benefit the Hinsdale Humane Society in Hinsdale, IL.

It has been about a month since Floofins & Co. “Stuffed the Subaru” in honor of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters’ (NAPPS) Presents 4 Pets Drive. This year the Floofins & Co. Pet Care Team set up inside of the Pet Supplies Plus in Westmont, IL and collected new and lightly-loved items for the Hinsdale Humane Society. We were even visited by some of our floofin friends.

Floofins And Company Celebrates 5 Years

April Fools Day might not seem like the best of days to launch a new business, but after 5 years of walking dogs, rubbing bellies, loving on kitties, caring for birds, checking in on reptiles, playing with ferrets, bunnies and other small and furry things, driving fuzz balls to the groomer, handling furry flower girls and “best men” in our client’s weddings and all of the other fun and rewarding duties our staff take on during the year, one thing is for certain, for Floofins And Company, April Fools Day is a day to CELEBRATE!

Like any business, the first five years can be a roller coaster of many changes. When looking back to the first business plan used to launch in 2010, it is amazing the changes we have made. Our mission still stands strong, to create a professional and high-end service company providing a kenneling alternative for fellow pet parents, but our business has definitely changed over the years. Some of the key changes we are most excited about include: [Read more…] about Floofins And Company Turns 5 Years Old
