Leah & her childhood dog Annie - Owner & Founder of PPF

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a deep passion for understanding and taking care of animals. From 4H classes to pet sitting around the neighborhood at an early age, I constantly found myself surrounded with furry (and feathered) friends. Truthfully, I couldn't imagine my life without them.
Over the years, it became apparent that we couldn't board my childhood dog, Annie, due to her separation anxiety while we were away. We found after a few attempts that she did best in her own environment at home. Our neighbors whom we were close with, took care of her during every annual family vacation... until they moved away. It was a hard transition for both us and Annie when it came to finding reliable help, but looking back, it is what prompted me to start this journey in professional pet care.
In 2019, I decided to pursue my passion full-time in animal caretaking and make my dream a reality. During that year, I started the journey of becoming a small business owner in my home town Knoxville, TN. Over the past 5 years of pursing my dream, I am proud to say that between my team and I, we have served over 300 families and 500+ pets in the comfort of their own homes.
I continue to enjoy pursuing my passion in professional animal care as I feel it is something so important as our pets are part of our day to day life. As a busy dog mom of 2 and cat mom of 3, I can relate to the many problems that pet parents may face in pet ownership. I think it is safe to say that my favorite part of my job is to see the relationship between pet parents and their pets flourish with support from the year round support we offer.
