I am absolutely reeling after receiving this incredible honor last night:
Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year
I think 🥹😳🤩🙂↕️🤯🫣🫨 perfectly captures the whirlwind of emotions I’m feeling!
I joined the in 2018, not long after starting my business. Back then, I had no idea what “networking” even was, but Google convinced me it was something I should try—so I signed up. Nearly seven years later, I find myself surrounded by incredible business owners, hardworking individuals, caring community members, and most importantly, friends.
When I started my company, my only goal was to help people like me. My dog Neville spent way too much time alone, and I was constantly trying to find someone to watch him. I wanted to spend more time with him and give other pet parents the peace of mind that their pets were okay while they were away.
Neville’s journey—and mine—has brought me here. I’m so fortunate to serve this amazing community, work with an incredible team of employees who keep everything running smoothly, and have the flexibility to be with my kids when they need me most. I’m endlessly grateful for my husband who had no idea what he was signing up for when I asked him 5.5 years ago, “So…do you like dogs, cats, and bunnies?” He’s taken on the lion’s share of kid and household duties, and I couldn’t do this without him.
Thank you to my family for always supporting me, and to my friends who’ve been my loudest cheerleaders along the way.
This honor means the world to me, and the fact that everyone managed to pull off this incredible surprise makes it even more unforgettable!
