Shout Out to Professional Pet Sitters March 5-11

March 7, 2023 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Finding just the right person to take care of your pet isn’t a choice any pet parent takes lightly. When you find the right pet sitter, you probably do a happy dance knowing that your floofin is in good hands. Did you know March 5th through March 11th is the week dedicated to pet sitters?

Professional Pet Sitters Week kicks off Monday, March 1st. This week was first introduced in 1995 by Pet Sitters International (PSI). This year marks the 28th annual celebration. The week is observed, according to PSI’s website  to honor

“professional pet-care providers, seeks to educate the pet-owning public about the advantages of professional in-home pet care and encourages pet-loving entrepreneurs to explore professional pet sitting as a viable career.”

How To Celebrate With Floofins & Co.

Floofins & Co. prides itself on hiring staff that are “diamonds” in the pet care staff industry. In fact, this commitment is just one of the reasons Floofins & Co. was named the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters’ 2020 Business of the Year.

You probably already know about the great services Floofins & Co. provides with their in-home pet care. But, are you looking for an opportunity to do some pet care work? You can apply to become a member of our team.

We encourage you to take part in this year’s Professional Pet Sitters Week if you already use us for your pet care needs. How?

Pop on over to our Facebook site at any time leading up to March 5th and through March 11th. Send us a message about your pet care professional. Have you wanted to say thanks? Tell us who walks or cares for your floofin with the  message you want to share. It can be long or short, serious, or funny. During the week, we’ll highlight messages about our staff. Your message of appreciation is a great way to give a shout out to someone who makes your (and your pet’s) life a little bit easier. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Small Business Saturday and Gratitude

November 25, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

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

Gratitude For Our Clients and Team This Thanksgiving

November 26, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton 1 Comment

This year, collectively and individually, we have all dipped into our own personal reservoirs seeking moments of gratitude. The challenge of navigating changing restrictions were particularly hard hitting from a small business standpoint.

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.

Floofins and Company Celebrates 10 Years In Business

April 1, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Floofins & Co. celebrates their tenth birthday today.

Ten years means we have a lot of memories. We have lots of lessons learned and a bunch of great stories. We have great clients. And we had planned to celebrate with a number of ideas we’ve been discussing since last year. Ways to say thanks for keeping us busy and referring us to your friends and neighbors.

And as we’ve learned over the years, even the best laid plans can get knocked off course. We couldn’t have imagined the way 2020 was going to shape up.

First, we learned that NAPPS had named us their 2020 Business of the Year. It is an incredible honor and one that we wanted to celebrate with both staff and clients. Because we know that without both, our business would not be what it is today. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Like all small businesses, we are trying to weather this current shelter-in-place order. We continue to provide service to our clients working as essential service members, our staff as they manage smaller routes, and still keep the lights on at Floofins HQ. It has been challenging, but we are hanging in there with all of you.

We know that you want to get back to normal as soon as possible and so do we. We miss your floofins!

Until that time arrives, we plan to do as much of our 10-year anniversary celebration as we can manage. We will be doing a video series in the coming months highlighting the top 10 questions you have about Floofins & Co. Have you wondered how something works? What it take to have a dog walking company? What courses we teach at Floofin U? You ask and we will answer! Send your questions to info@floofinsandco.com with the subject line Video Questions. If you’re feeling adventurous, send us a video of you or your floofin asking your question.

Thanks for being with us during the last ten years and we hope to be back out at full capacity caring for your floofins soon.
