Brandy
I am the owner of Four Seasons For Paws. It has been my life long dream to work with animals! When I was young, I always said I would be a veterinarian when I grew up. I collected Pound Puppies (little stuffed animals) by the dozens. They all had names and I took them everywhere I went. I could never simply walk by an animal of any kind. I had to pet them. I wanted to be their friend! Even though I never became a veterinarian, I have learned so much about caring for all kinds of animals! I have taken dog training courses and I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. It is my absolute passion to take the best care of every animal that crosses my path and to provide complete peace of mind for the people who love them the most. I truly can't wait to meet you and your pets!
Melissa
I have a genuine love for all animals and devote the majority of my time to caring for them. I am a certified professional dog walker. When I am not walking dogs or pet sitting, I can be found rehabilitating orphaned, injured, or sick wildlife as a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator for the Howell Nature Center. I have two dogs, two cats, six chickens and always some young squirrels or bunnies at home to keep me on my toes. I am also a stained glass artist. My work (Mt Juno Glass - named after my dog), can be found at the Detroit Artists Market, Paint Creek Center for the Arts in Rochester and Etsy. Some of my favorite pastimes include: hiking, camping, gardening, taking pictures, and traveling. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!
Nicole
Hello! I am beyond excited to be working for Four Seasons For Paws as a Pet Care Specialist. Caring for and working with animals of all kinds has always been a passion of mine, and brings me so much joy. Having pets my whole life, as well as attending to others, I have learned the importance of empathy and responsibility, realizing that animals too, have their own emotions and needs. I will always advocate for their well being. Each pet has their own unique personality that makes them the best companion for their family. I have a son, so as a mom, unconditional love is a gift that keeps on giving. Pets give that gift! First and foremost, whether you have one or many, your best friends are at the top of my list! You are guaranteed that they will be getting all the love. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, so you can have trust in my care for your babies. I am excited and looking forward to meeting you and your pet family!

Over the years, I have volunteered at various animal rescue organizations in the community and have experience caring for everything from pet rats to horses.

Hello my name is Kim. I recently retired after 36 years of working with clients and their investments. I decided to follow my life long desire to work with animals and become a Pet Care Specialist with Four Seasons For Paws. Animals have always been a love of mine! I grew up on a small farm in Clarkston and we raised horses, cows, and an occasional pig or two. We also had a few dogs and cats along the way. As an adult I have always had my own dog and I know it can be stressful when you are working and separated from your pet.

Audrey
I've lived in Howell my entire life and went to Howell high school. I've always had cats growing up which is why I have such a soft spot for them. After high school I took some classes at Lansing community college. I have always thought about becoming a veterinarian because of my love for animals. Caring for pets will be very different from my previous job, but I sure am excited to get to work with them! They are so much fun to be around and I absolutely adore each and every one of their unique personalities!
Colleen
I'm excited to be working for Four Seasons for Paws. My work background is providing customer service in a healthcare environment. After retiring I decided it was time to do something fun and what could be more fun then working with animals that give you unconditional love. This is the first time in 40 years that there hasn't been either a dog or cat in my home. To fill that void I'm looking forward to loving on your fur babies!
Johanna
I've loved animals all my life and knew from a young age that I would like to work with them. Growing up I had all manner of pocket pets - gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs - and took every opportunity to hang out with the neighbor's dogs. As an adult I have had rabbits and recently adopted my first dog, which was pretty exciting! When not walking my own dog, I enjoy gardening, baking and reading sci-fi books. I'm looking forward to all the new animals I'll get to meet through Four Season For Paws!
Jacquelynn
I have been an animal lover since day one. Be it stuffed animals, furry and scaly friends, and even the virtual pets, (Yes, I was a tamagotchi kid.) I have a huge soft spot for taking care of people and critters. I volunteered at different veterinary offices as a teenager, horse stables as an adult, and was even able to do a bit of riding when I was younger. Being given an opportunity to work with animals on a daily basis is such a dream for me! As a child I wanted to be a veterinarian, that didn't pan out but I've had so many opportunities to show love to creatures of all kinds! I have my own two rescued fur babies that I love very much, and look forward to providing excellent care for all of the amazing critters that I will get to meet in this career!
Emily
Animals have shared a special place in my heart as long as I can remember! Growing up, we always had animals in the house including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and even a rat! I dreamed of being a veterinarian one day and living on a farm. Life had other things in store like my husband and four children but I have instilled in them the same love and respect for animals that I have. I’ve worked with animals through rescues and daycares most of my adult life. We have four dogs and a rat and my daughter leases a horse. I love taking care of my human and fur family. They bring me so much joy! Every animal in my care is cared for with the same love and respect that I show my own family!
Arianna
Hello, my name is Arianna. I am excited to join the team at Four Seasons For Paws! Growing up on a farm, I learned from an early age the importance of caring for all creatures big and small. My love of horse back riding lead me to joining various agricultural related activities including my school district's equestrian team, local 4H club, and local FFA (Future Farmer's of America) Chapter. I also attended my local technical school's biotechnology and agricultural science program earning a technical certificate in small animal care. These programs furthered my knowledge and passion in caring for all difference kinds of animals. Presently, I have one small dog and one horse and understand the importance of having reliable and trustworthy care for your beloved pets while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and providing top-tier care for your pets!
