Hi and welcome to my website. Here’s how my business started.

Happy Pets Happy Plants is a business that I started when I was 11-years-old. I was at my grandparents’ house sitting on the front porch watching their neighbor playing with their dog, Cricket. The next day I watched the neighbor as he packed his truck with many things, except Cricket. I asked why he wasn’t bringing him. He said,

“I’m going on vacation for a while, and Cricket is going to be sitting in the backyard until I come back. I couldn’t find anybody to take care of him, that poor thing.”

I was so depressed. Poor little dog sitting in the backyard waiting for his owner to come home. I thought what if I took care of him. I’d see him almost every weekend, and it wasn’t that far a drive from my house. I asked him if I could take care of him until I get back. He said sure and started giving me information on how to take care of him, what he eats, etc. That was my first job, even though I volunteered, it was still memorable.
