Hi there! I'm Corinne, the proud owner and operator of PurrEssence Pet Care! From pet sitting and photography to all the little behind-the-scenes details, I pour my heart into every part of my business.

My love for animals began at a young age, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, ferrets, and reptiles. That passion eventually led me into veterinary medicine, where I spent years working as a Veterinary Assistant and Client Care Representative.

Throughout my veterinary career, I've worked with thousands of animals, gaining valuable experience in animal behavior, medical care, and recognizing subtle changes in their health and well-being. Those skills continue to shape the personalized, compassionate care I provide today.

​

🐾 How PurrEssence Began

In 2016, while working in veterinary medicine, I started pet sitting for clients looking for a trusted alternative to boarding. What began as a few visits quickly grew into a thriving small business built on trust, experience, and a whole lot of love!

Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, from playful puppies to senior companions requiring extra attention. I even combined my love for photography with pet sitting, capturing special moments for clients to treasure.

💜 A Little Detour, A Lot of Love

In 2024, life took me in a different direction when I made the decision to temporarily close PurrEssence to become a full-time caregiver for both of my grandparents through the final chapters of their lives.

It was one of the most challenging yet meaningful experiences of my life, and a decision I'll never regret. It strengthened my patience, compassion, and belief that true caregiving comes from the heart.

Now, with that chapter complete, I'm excited to return to the business I love and reconnect with the wonderful pets and families who make this work so rewarding!

🐾 More Than Just a Pet Sitter

I know your pets aren't just pets. They're family, and trusting someone with their care is a big decision.

My goal is to provide a loving, reliable alternative to boarding, allowing pets to remain happy and comfortable in their own homes. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, elderly, or has special medical needs, I believe every animal deserves patience, understanding, and personalized attention.

When you choose PurrEssence, you're not just hiring a pet sitter. You're choosing someone who genuinely cares about your pet's happiness, health, and well-being.

I'm so happy to be back doing what I love, and I can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, scaly, or otherwise wonderfully unique family members!

Less stress for your pets. More peace of mind for you.

With love and a few paw prints,

Corinne 💜
