About our guest: In 2019, after 20 years of a corporate career in business management, human resources, training, and development, I changed my career path drastically. Little did I know that this decision would lead me to a new endeavor in pet care. My only regret is not starting sooner!I started RubyRed's Pet Care in January 2020 with only grocery bags for poop bags and "borrowing" Athena's spare leashes and treats. Being a fur mom and using past pet care services, I knew what type of business I wanted to create and what kind of service I wanted to give my pack members.I am blessed to be in a service-providing business that allows me to bond with these special kids and connect with their paw parents.No words can describe how thankful I am to be offered such a wagnificent opportunity.
