How We Got Started
Pet sitting for both of us (Deborah and Susan) started as a part-time gig for neighbors and friends, simply because we enjoy the funny, sweet, and unique personalities of animals.
After working as a recruiter for 16 years and pet sitting part-time for friends and then thru word-of-mouth, Deborah wanted to make pet care her full-time work. Likewise, Susan had a long career in Human Resources and then was able to move into pet sitting and part-time nanny for a busy family. Finally, we came together to create All Paws on Deck Pet Care in March of 2017 in the Pacific Northwest.
Now after 5 years we made the difficult decision to relocate the business, so that we could be closer to family in Central Florida. Although it was hard to leave our amazing clients and their fur babies, we are now enjoying and settling into Zellwood, Florida and the surrounding area. We love the different wildlife and birds, especially the cranes, the convenient shopping nearby, and of course the plentiful warmth and sunshine!
One of the really nice aspects of having a pet care business that we weren’t thinking of initially, is how amazing it is to be surrounded by people who love their pets. People who care for their pets are a special breed – pun intended!
There’s a lot of energy that goes into taking care of pets, making sure their needs are met, and keeping them safe and happy… but then we get to be around them! And at the end of the day this is what we get to talk about and share and look forward to.
In gratitude,
