About Us


About Us
Happy Tails Professional Pet Sitting is
co-owned by Fran Marshall and Janet Flynn.
We provide in-your-home pet care for dogs,
cats, fish, birds, bunnies, small pets (gerbils,
etc.), turtles and some barnyard animals.
Sorry, we prefer not to care for snakes or
spiders.
After a career in writing, editing and design,
Fran turned a long-time hobby of pet sitting,
as well as a passion for animals, a gift for
relating to them and accumulated knowledge
of pet care, into a full-time career.
Fran is a native of Winston-Salem and has
lived in High Point for more than ten years.
She has two dogs, Harry, a Maltese, and
Russert, a mixed breed puppy who is the
newest addition to the family, both of whom
were rescues. She also has a little old lady
kitty, Earline, whom she adopted late last
year. This summer, her beloved 16-year-old
dog, Molly, passed away.
Fran is particularly good with shy dogs and
with pets with health problems. She calls
them her "special needs babies." She is
experienced at administering all kinds of
medication, including shots and Sub-Q fluids.
She also has extensive lay knowledge in
animal behavior, health and nutrition and a
particular interest in the role nutrition plays in
an animal's health. She is constantly
educating herself on issues in pet behavior,
health, nutrition and more. She also does
volunteer work with local animal rescue
groups.
Janet is a High Point native. A full-time
marketing and business teacher at High Point
Central High School, Janet helps Fran out in
the evenings, weekends and during vacations.
She is newer to pet care, but she has a very
special "touch" and the animals absolutely
love her. She loves to take the time to get to
know each of the animals for whom she cares.
"Loving on the babies" is her favorite part of
the job and she does it with relish!
Janet has two dogs, Katie, an adorable Lhasa
Apso/terrier mix and Sally, a precious Maltese
and two cats, her 20 lb. big boy Nicky and his
slightly smaller brother, Barney. They are all
rescues.
We are both mature and established in the
community. You can be comfortable having us
in your home and caring for your pets. We will
treat your pets and protect your pets as we
treat and protect our own. We take a great
deal of pride in our work and in our reputations.
