"What is your favorite part of working with animals?"
After a successful 25-year career in the design industry, I am thrilled to embark on a new chapter as a Pet Care Professional at Pet Waggin. My lifelong passion for animals—whether cats, dogs, or horses—has always driven me to prioritize their well-being. Animals bring an authenticity
and unconditional love that humans strive for, and I've never known
life without a beloved fur baby by my side!
"What is your #1 pet care tip or something you want to share with clients?"
Guess what? High-quality dog food and treats can actually be affordable! With two large dogs (and a finicky kitty) who eat a lot, I know how expensive pet food can be. So, I started making my own "human food for dogs," combining my love for cooking, yoga and energy channels, with my deep care for my pets—and it saves me money too! I’ve also been crafting the highest-quality treats with my dehydrator (which some of your fur babies have already given a
paws-itively wag-tastic approval ).
My Nola actually bounces when I put her meals down!!!
"What I like most about working at Pet Waggin?"
Pet Waggin has been an absolute gem to discover in Long Beach!
Everything about the business that Mary Ellen has built is remarkable, from the structured team regions and certified training programs to the incredibly dedicated and professional teammates. The level of professionalism and care across the board is truly impressive.
