Our Friends

Meet the Owners

Jeff Carpenter

I developed my passion for animals as a child, growing up on a farm in Idaho. I left home to play football for University of Nebraska. Then I coached at Nebraska and several other universities. For twenty-five years since, I’ve been working in the sports technology industry as a regional sales manager, traveling and doing business with every college in the USA.

Donna and I have always been pet and animal lovers, and have had many dogs and cats in our home over the last 20 plus years. We currently have 3 dogs in our household: two rescues, Traveling has required a great deal of coordinating how to take care of our dogs while we’ve been out of town. When we would take our vacation for over a week or more, I hated leaving them at a boarding location, out of their environment. We discovered there was a real need for this business.

I’m thankful to be at a point in my life where I can retire early and pursue turning my love for animals into a business that Donna and I can enjoy together. We have the desire to cater to your pet’s individual needs. I promise we will care for your pets in a manner they’re accustomed to with service that is reliable, personal, and honest.

Donna Carpenter

I've been an entrepreneur since the age of 27. I've owned and operated two antique and design stores in McKinney since 2000.
Working with people and delivering excellent customer service has always been a passion of mine. Jeff and I live busy lives with our family which includes our dogs Brewster, Scruffy, and Dexter. Two of them are rescues and they are all now seniors.

Over the years I've helped people with special needs pets. I know how hard it is to find someone with the expertise and knowledge to properly analyze and address their issues, if they arise. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years and I'm so excited that I've been able to turn my passion into a full time business. I truly enjoy the company of pets and I look forward to providing you the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members.

Randy Smith

I can’t remember a time in my life where I wasn’t around animals growing up all around the US. To date, I have moved 19 times in my life as a corporate brat and them as a VP of Marketing for a variety of Fortune 50 companies. The constants in my life have been my faith, my wife and the unconditional love of my dogs.

I’m thankful to be at a point in my life where I can devote my time and energy to taking care of your loved ones in the peace and quiet of your homes.

My wife, Jackie, and I thank you for the opportunity to take care of your babies.

We promise we will care for your pets like they are our own in a manner they’re accustomed to with service that is reliable, personal, and honest.

Jackie Smith

I have spent the last 39 years of my life taking care of and loving my babies, both two and four-legged named Randy (husband) Ryan (son), Lauren (daughter), Zoey-Rose, Halle-Jo and Elle-Rose.

Our lives have been so enriched by the unconditional love and loyalty of our fur babies. They have been instrumental in the lives of my children.

Working with people and animals is my passion. My passion for people has led me to become a Stephens Minister and to lead a bible study group at Preston Trail Community Church in Frisco. I have also had a chronic pain ministry that provided encouragement, hope and joy to men and women who were having a tough time.

I'm so excited that I've been able to work with my husband and manage the Paws ‘n’ Claws location for Jeff and Donna Carpenter.

We feel privileged to care for your loved ones.
