Karin: I have been a life-long pet owner and advocate for responsible pet care. In March of 2004 after 30 years in the corporate environment as a Software Developer and Project Management, I retired and turned my passion of working with pets into a service for pet owners and their pets. My goal at all times is to be a positive presence in the community and the pet care industry. I volunteer within the industry and am the Western (MB, SK and AB) Representative for the All Canadian Pet Services Network. I am also on the Practice Committee for ACPSN. Since starting Pets Stay Home in 2004 I have
networked with pet sitters locally and internationally. I founded the
Winnipeg Professional Pet Sitters Network shortly after starting up. I believe
that networking strengthens the industry and our ability to provide quality
service. Our four-legged family currently includes "Scout", a 5-year-old Golden. Scout came from Chrys-haefen Kennels in Scotland, Ontario. One of my past dogs was a Chocolate Lab. I continued on in the CKC Obedience trials with him and he obtained the C.D. level. One of the pleasures of having trained a dog to this level was how well he responded in all types situations. We enjoyed having a Cockatiel named Joey in our family for almost 24 years. We shared many bagels, slices of toast, and salads with this feisty little bird who brought so much joy to our family. Mick: Mick was a Conservation Officer in Saskatchewan in the mid '80s. He studied Renewal Resources in College - flora, fauna and fisheries - and worked in waterfowl habitat preservation. Mick has trained many dogs for field trials, and participated in conformation and obedience trials with Samoyeds. He's a natural with pets and pets love him. He is Pet First Aid certified through St. John Ambulance.
With heavy hearts we said goodbye to Deacon ("Deke") on September 4, 2007. Our faithful companion of more than 13 years will be missed. Photo is of Deke as a pup. Deke loved to have his picture taken. Throughout his life, when the camera came out, he would strike a pose. I spent a year with Deke in obedience and planned to compete with him.
