Five Things You May Not Know About Mary

March 31, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Floofins & Co.

Sure, you know that the Floofins staff you interact with LOVE your pet, but have you ever wondered… Is there more to this super-duper, pet-loving person?

To that, we say, YES!

Your Floofins are like family and we want to give you a more rounded picture of our great staff members. So, we dug a little deeper into their psyches to get you the kind of information only Floofins & Co. can provide.

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Mary. She is a Pet Care Specialist and covers the Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, and Elmhurst (for vacation care) areas.

If you could ask your pet one question, what would it be? “ I have 3 dogs and I always ask them, “Can’t you all go outside at the same time just once? Basically, I’m a doorman a lot!”

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen a stranger do? “Someone was jumping on a trampoline and when they jumped up, their shorts fell down.” 

What is your pet peeve? “Being late.” 

What is the best advice you’ve received? “Be polite.”

What would be your spirit animal? “Bear.”

Presents 4 Pets Wrapped Up

December 17, 2014 by Celeste Glassman Leave a Comment

Pet Sitters Give Back By CramTheVan“Cramming The Van”

As professional pet sitters and dog walkers, we visit happy animals in their homes all across our service area from Oak Park, IL to the middle of Downers Grove, IL all the way to Winfield, IL . However, it is important to also help the not so fortunate pets still looking for their forever homes.

It has been about a month since Floofins & Co. “Crammed the Van” in honor of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, Presents 4 Pets Drive. This year the Floofins & Co. Pet Care Team parked a large Enterprise van in front of the Pet Supplies Plus in Wheaton and collected new and lightly loved items for PACT Humane Society. We were even accompanied by some adorable pooches that were up for adoption. [Read more…] about Presents 4 Pets Wrapped Up

Storm Safety Planning for You and Your Pets

When Is The Weather Too Much For Your Pet’s To Handle? Think Storm Safety!

Chicagoland gets a lot of storms each spring stretching from our North West service area of Bloomingdale all the way to our South East service point of Willow Springs, and the severity of these has been increasing. It is vital to include your pets in your storm safety plans, so here are a few ideas to get you on your way.

Our dog walkers and pet sitters have experienced a lot of storms lately, with at least one major storm per summer for the past few years, complete with power outages and property damage. Several suburbs have flooded, and we have seen some residents lose power. Naturally you will want to include your pets in your storm safety plans.

What is Positive Reinforcement Training?

PositiveReinforcement

Not All Dog Training Methods Are The Same. What Is Positive Reinforcement Training?

There are many different dog trainers and training schools located in the Chicago Suburbs. Throughout Elmhurst, Oak Park, La Grange, Wheaton, Bloomingdale, and Woodridge, you will find trainers with different expertise (i.e. positive reinforcement, adverse, etc.) as well as trainers and behaviorists that handle behavior issues other than obedience training. Depending on the issue at hand and the method you are most comfortable with, there are many options when it comes to “training”. At Floofins & Co. our in-house expertise is with Positive Reinforcement Obedience Training, but what does that mean and what will you experience with this method?
