about myself
Hi, my name is Jeanne Cairns, and I am the owner and general manager of A+ PetSitting. I live in Madison, Wisconsin with my son and my three pets, Wendi and Emma, both English Bull Terriers and Maddi a Maine Coon cat. I also have Nora and Rowan, they are Irish Draught horses. As far back as I can remember, I have always had pets, whether dogs, cats, horses, fish, birds and even snakes. Like many of you, I have many fond memories of my various pets growing up. Of the 4 children my parents had, I was clearly the most likely to do something with and for animals. Most of my childhood pictures are with my family, but I am the one always holding or petting the family pet at the time. I often got my parents annoyed by bringing home strays to take care of. They would tell me to take the animal back, and I would agree to, but then secretly take care of them! I also am one of the founders of the Badger Bull Terrier Club and participate in many activities around the Madison area that are pet friendly. I am also a member of the North American Irish Draught Horse Society.
Anyway, A+Pet Sitting is my passion now. I have walked a couple other, more practical career paths but the satisfaction offered by each were a distant second to the fulfilling life of taking care of pets. I figure I shouldn’t be selfish about my love for animals; there are other lives to help. I want to help clients like you go about your life without worrying that your pet is missing contact with a caring human. And of course, I want your pet to get the individual care and attention that you would give them if you could.
What sets A+ Pet Sitting apart from other services is the personalized attention I give to my client’s pets. I don’t just go through the motions of a walk or a house-sitting experience. I am very aware that your relationship with your pet is an enriching one. A+ Pet Sitting aims to stand in your shoes and continue the love and care that you have started so that your pet hardly notices that you are gone.
To sum it up, I am so thrilled to be in this business because I believe pet ownership is truly one of those pure experiences that life has bestowed upon us. The irony is that people often think that humans are here to ensure pets’ survival. However, you and I both know that it is more than likely the other way around.
Warmest regards,
Jeanne Cairns
