OUR TEAM

Natalie has never known a home without pets. From childhood to adulthood, she has acknowledged the menagerie of dogs, cats, turtles and hamsters to be equal members of the family to their human counterparts; often referred to as “brothers” and “sisters” by Natalie’s parents. From Texas, to DC, Baltimore, New York City and, now, Detroit- she has always been accompanied by her fur family. It is, without a doubt, a sincere delight for Natalie to care for your family as well. Currently, Natalie shares her home with her husband and their Shetland Sheep Dog, Hannibal. Hannibal is named after her father’s first sheltie and the unique namesake was inspired by Hannibal, the Carthaginian commander that led elephants through the Alps to defeat the Romans. Natalie has a Bachelor of Arts from American University, a Masters of Science from Fordham University and is currently seeking a second bachelors degree in Nursing.

Hello! I have owned dogs and other animals my entire life! I currently care for my Pitbull Zoey, English Bulldog Bronco, Ferret Chester, Guinea Pig Nugget, Flowernhorn Cichlid George, African Dwarf Frog Kipper and Betta fish named Jewel, Wendy and Tiffany. Owning this many pets is a big responsibility and I enjoy every minute of it. Animals are my life. I truly care about each and every animal that I met and care for. I treat every animal as if it was my own. When I am not working you can find me out on the boat, walking/training Bronco and Zoey, cuddling on the couch with my fur babies and of course cleaning cages/tanks.

I joined the Woof’n Purr team in the fall of 2018 and have been working daily for the company ever since. My passion for animals started when I was young, and I have owned many pets throughout my life- including large and small dogs, cats, and rodents. When not working, I am a fur-mom to 3 of my own, an English Shepherd named Tate, and two kitties, Mira and Shadow. You could say my life is dedicated to caring for animals! Nothing makes me happier than being able to bring joy to and enrich the lives of our pets, and that’s why I choose to do what I do. You can be assured your animal(s) will always receive personalized and loving care with me.

Tori joined Woof & Purr because she has loved working with animals since she was a child. She and her mother have rescued and fostered many cats and dogs over the years. She currently lives with her boyfriend and two cats, Bobby Flay & Cleo. Her favorite activities outside of working with animals include crafting, gardening, and spending time outdoors; such as camping and riding bikes. She is currently enrolled in nursing school because she enjoys helping people as much as she does animals.

I have been around animals for most of my life. My family and I are huge animal lovers. I currently have four cats, a beagle, and several reptiles. In my free time, I play the flute in my local community band and I love to read, write, and hike.

I currently share my life with four rescued pets; 3 cats and 1 dog and have a lifelong history with owning pets. Each of our pets have their own personalities, and I couldn’t imagine not having them. Our love for them is huge!

Any animal lover would want a job working with pets so this was a great fit for me. This position allows me to have a change of pace from my full time job. In my free time, I love to spend time with my children, specifically traveling to different beach destinations. I also enjoy golfing and coaching. I have coached hockey for over 30 years.
