Meet Irene!

My name is Irene and I moved to St.Pete in 2016. I have lived in a many cities in Fl but "home" to me is in the Fl Keys. Its true, Im a cat lady BUT I have plenty of room in my heart for pups! I have always had a passion for animals and have spent time working /volunteering in shelters, Veterinary hospitals and walking dogs/caring for pets on the side since I was a teenager. My first job ever was when my old vet asked me to walk his two Maltese and feed his giant tortoise. It was a pretty awesome job at 13! When Im not busy chasing after my 3 month old puppy husky mix,Kova, or brushing my cat Felix you can find me planting in the garden, making kombucha, attending a yoga class or literally anything else that involves being active and outdoors! Im so happy to be a part of the Pendleton Pet Care team and I cant wait to meet your furry companion :)

Meet catie!

HELLO!!  My name is Catie Shetty and I moved to St Petersburg, FL about 2 years ago with my husband Sam and my mini aussie Piper.  I was born and raised in Perrysburg, OH on a farm and raised and trained labs for hunting, as well as took care of numerous farm animals.  I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies with intention to get my masters in Equine Therapy.  However, I have grown to love dogs, dog training and the whole industry and have recently gotten my Dog Training and Behavioral Modification Certification from the Animal Behavior Institute and working on becoming a Good Canine Citizen Evaluator.  I also work at Sit Happens Dog Training center as a trainer, but love giving some of my time to Pendleton Pet Care!!  I love being able to go out and be with your fur babies and just giving them some love and the care they need!!  It's such a great opportunity to really connect with the local community of animal lovers!
