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!

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 Home and Pet Guardian. 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!

Hello! My name is Darlene and after a 30-year career in health care, I decided to pursue my passion for caring for animals and became a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. Animals large and small have always been a big part of my life. 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.

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!

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 Edson, Pet Care Specialist, Four Seasons For Paws

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!

Hi there! I am excited to meet many new furry friends and extend to them the same love and care I give my own. I have recently begun my journey of calling Michigan my home and have had many amazing experiences with pet sitting and caring for animals back in my home town of Las Vegas. While continuing to make Michigan my home; I aim to enjoy the journey with meeting new people and their lovely pets. Happy to be on board!

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!

Hi my names Paige. Growing up around so many different kinds of animals definitely made me have a huge soft spot for them. I joke that I have a mini zoo at home, I really enjoy getting to spend quality time with all of my pets but fish keeping is definitely the biggest passion of mine. I am a hairstylist as well so I love working with new Clients, and a bonus mom of two awesome kids. I am so excited to be around new furry friends and make sure they get all the love while you’re away!

Hi! As a kid my parents had a pet store and we had all the pets at home! Along with dogs and cats we had a chameleon, snakes, birds, hamsters, even chickens and goats! I now have a cat and dog at home who are truly my babies (before I had human kids I had a couple coworkers who thought I already had kids because of how I talked about my dog). I can’t wait to meet all the fur babies!
