About the business
Hi! My name is LaLainya and I am an animal addict. I have been around animals my whole life. My mom worked as a vet tech and I remember many afternoons spent helping out by feeding and watering overnight stays and walking many of the dogs. This was at the age of 5 (probably wouldn't happen in this day and age, but things were different back then). By age 6, I was bathing cats and pilling dogs. At 11, I was assisting with injections. My first paying clients were when I was 12. I had two dog-walking jobs and I walked the dogs every afternoon 5 days a week. I also had a client with a black lab and a 1/2 Rhodesian Ridgeback that I pet-sat for on a regular basis. I even spent a summer volunteering/working at Kendalwood Morgan Showhorse Farm in Glenpool, Oklahoma. I fed and watered and groomed and cooled down the horses everyday. (I wasn't getting paid so I didn't muck the stalls!)
I graduated from pet-grooming school in the summer of 1991. I have done volunteer work with the SPCA. I have done work with rescue animals including Greyhounds (where I received instruction on the T-Touch Massage Method), wolfdogs, goats, hedgehogs, cats, turtles, rats, ferrets and guinea pigs.
I have bred and shown guinea pigs, hedgehogs, rabbits, and dogs over the last 25 years. (I have not bred any dogs in over a decade.)
Over the years, my love for all critters has never waned. I have preformed various in-home pet services regularly since 1981. Pet-Sitting, Photography, Grooming, Training, Dog Walking, Pet Taxi... you name it I have probably done it. It was sporadic and very informal for the first 15 years or so.
Coddled Critters was born when I decided to take all my pet experience and turn it into a career. Since I began accepting strangers as clients, I have joined Pet Sitters International (PSI), National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and Houston Area Professional Pet Sitters Association (HAPPSA) in order to network with other pet care professionals. I have also purchased both insurance and bond coverage for myself and my mother, Chery and a lifelong friend, Angela who work with me.
I am very excited to be able to offer dedicated and professional pet care services to my community and look forward to serving the needs of you and your pets!!
