It is my great privilege to introduce you to Rachel Butler, pet sitter extraordinaire!! Rachel and I have known each other for a number of years and she recently started her own pet sitting business! We have teamed up and Rachel has been assisting me with the over 200 dogs and cats The Collar Club of Virginia now serves. Many of you, our wonderful clients, have already had the opportunity to receive her services and the feedback has been 100% exemplary! Rachel and I are working in tandem when l am not available and it has been turn key. She is the first person in five years I totally trust with The Collar Club of Virginia’s fur babies and she also takes care of my dogs and cat when I take time off. My Gracie 🐶 Annabelle 🐕‍🦺 and Emma 😸 are head over heels for Rachel!

I am grateful beyond words she has chosen in home pet care as her second career. This is not an easy gig and one must truly love animals to endure. You give up your holidays, your weekends, work 7 days a week and it is all consuming. Rachel has all the right stuff and loves it as much as l do!

If you haven’t already, I hope you will get to meet her soon! Please join me in welcoming Rachel to the club!

Oh my gosh I got this news yesterday! The first year I received this award I had only been in business eight months and thought it was a fluke! Four years later, and after receiving this award each year since, I am so humbled and grateful I can’t even express in words the depth of my appreciation and love for the over 200 dogs and cats I take care of and also to their parents! I didn’t know until this year but apparently this award category includes all the dog walkers, pet sitters, retail shops and groomers and I am just a sole proprietor! Maybe the seven days a week and sometimes up to 16 hours a day I put into this is worth it. All l know is all the hugs and doggie kisses I get every day is MORE than worth it! I can’t thank all the pet parents enough for sharing their wonderful fur babies with me. I love you all❌⭕️‼️ You have made me a better person🙏🏻

Caren Pressley Brown, Owner

Caren Pressley Brown’s life-long love affair with all things 4 legged (which included bringing home stray cats from time to time) began with a boxer named “Pug” her father brought home when she was five. As a veteran, a Colonel in the US Army Reserves and the Chief Federal Administrative Law Judge in Charlottesville, Judge Taylor also instilled his daughter’s tireless work ethic.

Prior to starting The Collar Club of Virginia, Caren enjoyed a prosperous 23-year career as a health insurance agent in Richmond and Northern Virginia. Not only did she land the Philip Morris account, securing their 12,000 Richmond employees’ first individual managed care plan, but she also later owned and operated her own successful health insurance agency she built from scratch in Warrenton, maintaining a 98% client retention rate during her ownership period. Developing strong relationships has always been the foundation of everything Caren does, both professionally and personally.

Caren has also been pet sitting since the 1990’s, assisting Brainard Pressley with his side business, and helping out her friends and neighbors over the ensuing years. Caren credits Brainard for being her first mentor in the Pet Sitting business.

After selling her agency, she was burned out having worked in sales her entire adult life. The stress and constant travel had also taken its toll. Caren came to realize she didn’t really like being in sales, but her Type A personality made her the perfect stickler for the careful attention required of running an insurance business, she liked succeeding and she LOVED ANIMALS, having four dogs and two cats of her own.
