🐾 Meet Marjorie Behind Hearth and Hound Pet Services in Chattanooga

For pet owners across Chattanooga and surrounding communities who trust their furry family members to professional care, knowing the person behind the service matters just as much as the credentials. Hearth and Hound Pet Services is sharing the story of its founder to help new and longtime clients understand the philosophy and experience that shape every visit.

Marjorie, the Chattanooga native and founder of Hearth and Hound Pet Services, recently introduced herself to a growing audience of followers, offering insight into how her background in logistics, veterinary experience, and genuine love for animals inform the way she runs her business. 💼 She shares her home with a senior dog named Haley and two cats, Jax and Cosmo-a household that never lacks for pet hair or entertainment.

✨ Why This Matters to Pet Parents

Marjorie’s approach to pet sitting draws directly from her full-time career as a Load Planner in the trucking industry. The skills that help her coordinate freight movements across the country-managing schedules, anticipating disruptions, staying organized, and communicating clearly-translate seamlessly to managing multiple pet-sitting clients, coordinating drop-in visits, and keeping track of different feeding and medication schedules. 🗓️ She emphasizes that reliability isn’t just about showing up; it’s about preparation, consistency, communication, and doing what you said you would do.

What sets her apart is her deliberate choice not to overcommit. Rather than filling her calendar with as many bookings as possible, Marjorie accepts only the clients she has time, resources, and availability to serve well. “I would much rather provide exceptional care to the clients I accept than spread myself too thin trying to accommodate everyone,” she explains. 💪

🎓 Professional Credentials and Experience

Hearth and Hound Pet Services is fully licensed and insured. Marjorie holds Pet CPR & First Aid certification, has passed a background check, and brings professional experience from veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. Her goal is to offer something personal-recognizing that pets aren’t just animals, but family members with their own personalities, routines, quirks, and needs. 🏥

One of her favorite parts of the business has been getting to know each animal individually. Some greet her like old friends, while others need patience before deciding she’s worthy of their attention. Earning that trust, she says, is one of the most rewarding parts of what she does. ❤️
