Our Story
The heart behind Paws-itively Purr-fect comes from its founders, lifelong animal lovers Debbie and Jon. Both grew up surrounded by animals and have always shared a passion for caring for them. Debbie spent over 16 years as a veterinary technician before turning her love for animal care into something more personal.
In 1985, she began pet sitting and boarding pets in Buckeye to help local families who needed reliable, loving care. What started as a part-time service grew steadily, and by 2004, Debbie took the leap to run the business full time. Two years later, she met Jon, who shared her love for animals. Together, they expanded Paws-itively Purr-fect, adding professional grooming and enhancing their boarding and daycare services.
Today, Paws-itively Purr-fect continues to thrive as a warm, welcoming home-away-from-home for pets. Our dedicated team of animal lovers brings years of experience and plenty of heart to every brush stroke, belly rub, and treat break – because every pet deserves the best.
