Y name is Jane Accardo and I am the sole owner of Antics Pet  Care .   

 I was born and raised in Oregon and attended both Lewis and Clark College and Willamette University, receiving my BS  from the latter in 1979. I worked for many years in the food industry before I decided to start my family and spend eight  years living overseas and in Massachusetts and Texas. Upon returning home to Oregon, I decided it was time to focus on my true love in life: dogs.

I rescued two greyhounds and became involved with Greyhound Pet Adoption NW (formerly Greyhound Pets of America NW), serving on the Track Liaison Committee, assisting in the adoption program, and walking and washing the kennel greyhounds. From then on, I have opened my heart and home to many greyhounds.

Currently, I have four sweet but devilish fur-kids: Zoe the German Shepherd, Bandit and Hound, my greyhounds and Biscuit, a yellow Lab. I also have my farm kitty that lives at my doorstep and brings me mice on a regular basis (my dogs are not too thrilled with this arrangement).

While working part time as a pharmacy technician in 2000, I decided to try out the pet sitting business by helping my friend and fellow pet sitter, Shawn Ramey. In January of 2001, it was time to completely devote myself to my own work as a pet sitter and dog walker. When trying to find a meaningful name for my new full-time venture, I came up with merging the names of my now deceased greyhounds: Annie and Ticket. Thus, the name AnTic's ! I also found this word to be very descriptive of this profession!

Life for me wouldn't be complete without the companionship of my dogs and it is my desire to do whatever I can to help any animal in need and to spend time helping to improve the quality of life for all pets. It would be my pleasure to get to know and care for yours!
