Ian- I have worked with animal loving Ian on several projects in the Shreveport area over the years and we instantly became friends. He became my customer a couple of years ago when he hired us to care for his beloved, deaf, catahoula hound doggie named Shelby. Since then Ian has lovingly cared for many of my customers pets and they ADORE him!
Jeannie Perrin, Owner - I have always been an animal lover and owner. As a child I would feed any stray dog or cat that I saw in my neighborhood. I had my first dog walking job by the age of 11. I can not tell you how proud I felt walking Milly, the basset hound, and She-She, the Beagle. I still remember their names after all these years.
I have owned many dogs and cats, even a rabbit and a couple of hamsters. Tiffany and I currently have an adopted Australian shepherd dog from the Caddo Parish animal shelter, Betsy, whom we adore (see her picture with the pet portraits). We also have a wonderful kitty, Rascal, who is our business namesake. We both believe that having pets enrich our lives so much!
I was really inspired by my animal loving daughter, who was a veterinary assistant, to start my professional pet sitting business in 2005. Each day she would come home and tell me wonderful stories of all the doggies and kitties at the Vet office where she worked. Many times though they would be extremely sad stories involving animals passing away. She would cry so hard it would make me cry. These sad stories really got me thinking that since my daughter and I both have such a passion for animals there was bound to be an animal related business that we could love doing and could do it together. I did some research and found out how to make a career being a pet sitter.
I was already an experienced business owner as previously I had owned and operated a successful publishing business, The Kid's Directory of Shreveport/Bossier City for 3 years. Now here we are years later, very happy to be operating my thriving and successful pet sitting business in Shreveport and Bossier City.
When Tiffany and I need backup we have a very small wonderful staff of experienced, insured, bonded, and professional pet sitters who help us provide loving, quality care for your precious pets while you are away. They are pet owning family and friends of mine (see below) who have the same dedication to caring for your pet(s) as you do.
My business has many excellent references, some of which are featured on the testimonial page, many more are available on request. In October 2008, Lil’ Rascals Pet Care proudly received wonderful recognition with a feature article that appeared in The Shreveport Times Southeast, Southern Hills and Bossier City Voices which you can view on the media page.
