It all started back in 1972 when the "evil stepmother" wanted Lea to start babysitting...(with all due respect to parents everywhere)... "Diapers??? Ewwww!!!!!" So, I painted PET SITTING call 288-#### on a sign and put it in front of my house, and Pet Sitting was born!!!! (I invented it, you know)
After being a starving singer/dancer for a while,(I like to eat) I started my pet sitting business in Atlanta, GA....and PURRS & GRRRS was born!!! For 22 years I LOVED, and cared for some wonderful, precious pets in Atlanta.
A few years ago, I decided to move to the Asheville area to continue singing, (I love the blues), not as much dancing, (only with my dogs Bashe & Alex), and, as usual, to feed myself with caring for more precious pets because I LOVE them so!!!
Turned out Asheville was more of a personal sojourn to heal my ...well, ...person. (Thankfully I had all my pets, some Asheville pets, and the memory of all the pets I took care of in Atlanta to get me through!) I never would have made it without ALL of them!!! ...my cat Magic (she is the boss), my dogs Bashe and Alex (they are sisters), and my two "nervous nellies"(they love each other) my foster cats Stubby & Tigger, (they have special needs, decided to keep them).
We loved being in the mountains with all the horses, cows, goats, chickens, geese, groundhogs, foxes, deer, hawks....and ALL the dogs, cats, birds, and other pets in this beautiful area,
....but Atlanta kept calling us to come home!
We missed Atlanta, and turns out ....Atlanta missed us too!
(...and all those animals? ...Atlanta has them!)
We are now back in Atlanta, (based out of Inman Park), me, Magic, Bashe, Alex, and Stubby (Tigger is with us in spirit).We are building a new doghouse, and we know that we will be just fine, especially because of the love from all your precious pets!
So, please call us! We would love to meet your pets, and get to know you and your four legged families!!! (yes, we like human children too,......but NO DIAPERS!!!!!!)
Lea has years of experience, a varied knowledge of pets, and a genuine love for what she does that makes PURRS & GRRRS the premiere petcare service that it is..
See what your pet is doing!
