Specialties

Professional pet sitting in the clients home where the pets are most happy!

History

Established in 1994.

Once Upon A Time …

(in 1994) I dreamed of an ideal and purrfect pet place, where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best! Happy doggies with wagging tails, purring kitties, bubbling fish, and wing flapping birds. So with a dream and a leash I started Head to Tail Pet Sitting Services, a full service pet care provider in the Valparaiso, Porter County area. My mission has always been to provide professional loving care for all pets, while also providing a sense of comfort for the pet owners. After 18 years I have lots of experience doing just that. Head to Tail is recommended by a local Vet, Dr. Larry and Dr. Steve from McAfee’s Animal Hospital when his clients are looking for an alternative to boarding.

Business Owner

I began pet sitting in 1994 when the Title Search Co. I worked for downsized (remember that word?) and half of our office was permanently laid off. I was given severance pay and unemployment for 1 year and was able to step back and take a hard look at my work history and where I wanted to go. I have always loved animals. I had a certain connection to them. Almost as if I could communicate to them. I understood their body language, their barks or meows, I knew what they wanted or when they were frightened. I use to adopt stray cats from the neighborhood that were feral. Sometimes it would take me weeks of talking softly to them and feeding them lunch meat. At first I would have to put the food down and leave, but after a few days I could sit several feet away and then everyday inch closer and closer until I gained their trust. Then they were mine. I trained our family pet Pompadoo to do all kinds of tricks. Everyone including Dr. Larry McAfee told me I should of become a Vet.
