Morning Meeting:
Amber Zibrowski, Pawsitive Pet Services
 
Join us Wednesday morning at 7:30am in the Great Hall - Kitchi Gammi Club (831 E Superior St., Duluth, MN 55802) as we hear from Amber Zibrowski, Owner and founder at Pawsitive Pet Services
 

My name is Amber Zibrowski and I am the owner and founder of Pawsitive Pet Services. We are a small business located here in Floodwood serving the Duluth, Two Harbors, Superior, Hibbing and Grand Rapids area. We offer pet sitting services that incorporate basic obedience training to help your best friend better understand their family needs and desires. We provide daycare and walking services during the week with drop in care and pet boarding as scheduled throughout the week including weekends and holidays. During our daycare and boarding your friends spend their day glued to our sides, they accompany us on all the dog friendly scheduled walks and into pet friendly stores in their area. We opened this business because we noticed a need for pet care and boarding facilities that are not located in a veterinary setting with other injured and ill animals that adds unnecessary stress and exposure to illnesses. This became especially evident when we lost our previous service dog August 2023 and have been training a new service dog. Trying to socialize the new service dog in safe play environments has been difficult. So we decided to try to correct this deficit.
