Hi, I am Nancy Kupina and I am delighted to be a part of the Happy Hearts Pet Care Team. I owned and operated Nancy’s All Inclusive Pet Care from 2014 to 2021. It was a wonderful experience getting to know so many terrific families and their pets and I found it very rewarding to provide clients with peace of mind by delivering reliable, high quality pet care. After the pandemic- induced pause in pet care, I decided to recommend all of my clients join the Happy Hearts Pet Care family so that I could focus exclusively on visiting the pets.

Prior to owning my pet care business, I graduated with a BA in Biology from Albion College and worked as a research scientist in the area of Neuroscience at the VA Hospital, University of Michigan and Parke-Davis/Warner Lambert/Pfizer.  When Pfizer moved out of Ann Arbor, I decided to focus on raising my 3 son’s. Once all the boys were in school I became a mid-day dog walker for Liz’s Loving Pet Care. Three years later, I became the owner of her business and the rest is history.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my 3 dogs, 1 cat, gardening, cooking and needlework.

Kim has been a Ann Arbor area resident and animal lover her entire life. She joined the Happy Hearts Pet Care team in June 2018. She has over 12yrs of experience working with all types animals while working at a local horse farm, a pet hotel and for 5 yrs she worked as a animal care technician and animal intake at the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

Kim has proven to be a valued team member with her knowledge of pet health and behavior and her true compassion for all of our furry and feathered friends.

I moved to Ann Arbor February 2018 after living in Florida for the last 25yrs – a reverse snowbird! Spent a few months settling in, playing in the garden and now I am so thrilled to be apart of the Happy Hearts Pet Care team!!

Loving and caring for pats has always been a part of my life – growing up we shared our home with 3 dogs, 6 or more cats, lots of guinea pigs, gerbils and a sweet cockatiel. It really made me appreciate the unconditional love our animal friends offer us and how they make our life and our world so much brighter.

My husband I now share our home with 4 formerly feral felines – they are living the good life now having gracefully transitioned from street cats to pampered pets. Only 3 0f our 4 showed up for my photo – Lucky, Billy and Singy…. Missing is our love bug boy – Smiley!

I am looking forward to getting to sharing the love and helping Happy Hearts care for your pets.

Animals have always been a huge love of mine since I was a child. I have lived in the Ann Arbor area my whole life. I now live in Saline with my husband, our 3 children, our 3 rescue dogs – Callie, Skip and Indigo, and our in charge senior cat Buddy.

I have worked in pet care and dog walking for over 5 years. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I love going on walks with dogs, it is a great way to get to know them. I try to make each visit enjoyable so they look forward to the walks just as much as I do.

Hello, my name is Beth Quillen. I have lived in Ann Arbor since 2001. I have had experience with dogs my whole life, from the pets I had growing up, to the dog I now have with my family. I especially love going on walks but I am definitely a more enthusiastic walker than my own dog. My 3 year old Coonhound is named Taco but I think we should have named him Couch Potato. It works out great that I get to take other dogs for walks. It brightens my day to see their furry faces.
Providing great service to my clients is very important to me. I always strive to give your pets that same kind of care and attention I would want for my own.

Hello! I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life, often at the same time. My family kept old-English sheepdogs while I was growing up and then branched out to keep several mixes. Currently, I live with my grandparents between Ann Arbor and Saline. Up until three years ago, I lived in Illinois. I worked as a daily dog Walker and pet sitter in Chicago for three years and adopted a calico kitten I named Holly. Holly is now five and rules the household!

Out of all the jobs I’ve had, pet sitting is the one that’s truly made me happy. I love connecting with the animals I look after and, by extension, their owners. I look after the pets like they were my own and take great pride in the quality of my service.

I attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and graduated in 2011 with a major in English and minors in Asian Studies and Creative Writing. Pet sitting inspired me to write the April Gladdis Dog Walking Mystery Series under the pen name Alexa Windsor! The first entries in the series are completed and I’m working on the third. Sometimes the dogs and cats I watch make it into the book as cameos!

Before pet care I was a social worker in geriatric settings. I have a bachelor degree in Social Work & Gerontology. I have also been teaching fitness classes since 1999 and am currently a fitness instructor to seniors in Saline.

Visiting your pet is a nice complement to my week and I always look forward to it! In years past we have used dog walkers and pet sitters for our pets. It provided a comfort and satisfaction in knowing that our dogs were looked after and exercised. It is my hope that I can be that comfort for you too.

Hi! My husband and I have been very satisfied Happy Hearts clients for about 20 years. We have had multiple cats with unique health issues and have always felt comfortable leaving them in the care of Lee and her team. I know first-hand the excellent pet care they provide, and I am thrilled to join their team.

I’ve lived in the Ann Arbor area for over 40 years and during that time have shared my home with cats, rats, mice, doves, and fish. When I’m not playing with my kitties you can find me in the yard digging, pruning, planting, and petting the neighborhood cats and dogs.

I am looking forward to spending time with your pets and giving them the same love and care as I do my own.

Two things I love are animals and getting out and about, so being a Happy Hearts team member has been a great fit.

I’ve had animals my entire life and don’t often let an opportunity go by where I can love on someone else’s. I’ve startled many strangers on the street with an exuberant “Can I pet your dog?”
I have a couple friends with farms that I sometimes help out as well.
