| Hello everyone! I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself and give you an idea as to how I have come to be the proud proprietor of Metropolitan Professional Pet Services. As a young child, I always had a passion for animals. My family pets were more precious to me than any toy I had. My first pet was a blue parakeet, named Petey. He was a gift for my birthday. Growing up I always told people, “when I grow up, I want to be a Veterinarian!”. As soon as a I could, I started work in a Vet Clinic as a kennel technician. I loved every minute of it. I realized though, that I did not have the stomach to do surgeries on the animals. I meandered through many other animal related fields of employment such as pet shops, I worked as a dog groomer, back into the hospitals as vet technician, etc. In 2001, I found an opportunity in the animal law enforcement field. I became an Emergency Service Technician working Animal Control calls after normal business hours. I quickly moved into an officers position where I remain to this day. During my time as an EST, I started walking dogs during the day for extra money. I worked for several established businesses and realized that I disliked not providing the services my way... I wanted to establish a relationships with the clients, but found it difficult to do so when they were not my clients... After months of frustration and finally after a year or so... I was ready to give it up. After resigning from the last company I worked for, I gave two weeks notice to the clients I walked for and to my surprise I found that they were really sorry to hear that I was leaving and they were anxious about who would be coming in to walk their pets after me... Several people asked me to walk their dogs privately and I quickly realized how much they had come to depend on me, How could I let them down? Really the decision was quite simple... I established the business and here we are... We have been professionally serving your neighbors since 2005 and look forward to MANY more years to come. I proudly invite you to try our services and let us have the opportunity to make you feel as comfortable with us as the clients who helped give me the inspiration to create MPPS. |
