About Me

My name is Rachel Marie Sheppard, I am the author and founder of My Kid Has Paws. My husband and I have been blessed with a Corgi named Rooney and we all live, run, and play in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a former Veterinary Technician/Animal Science Major turned MBA/Marketing Associate. I started this blog because I love animals, and I want to use my background in Animal Science to provide great information all while documenting fun with Rooney!

    Stumbled on your website today; it looks very nice. Meet my crew with paws at: http://anarette.com/about/the-crew/. They all came from the shelter and one of them has the dream to become an Ambassador for Animal Shelter Pets.

    Hi Rachael. I love your blog and story, keep up the good work! I actually interviewed with your father at his business this morning and he sent this blog link along. We have some things in common… love for animals and marketing. 6 months ago I left hi-tech marketing corporate America to do something I’ve always wanted to do – work with animals. Alas CritterPetCare.com was born in Oakland, CA. I still love Marketing, website promotion and Internet Marketing and hope to be able to combine the 2 very different markets. I’m very interested in the TVR position and think I could make a big difference, as well as continue my pet sitting on the side. It would be the best of both my worlds.

    I’ll keep an eye on your blog and wish you all the best. Any comments are welcome with regard to my website and business as well.

    All the best fellow pet lover,
    Pam from CritterPetCare.com

    I paid to create a new website which i let my designer host & she hasnt paid the hosting fees on & it is DOWN. so I am back to square 1. People told me that Genisis is one of the best WP, so I am here checking it out. I am an artist, have a book, store. I am also a pet psychic and intuitive medium, so need a scheduler.

    When I was going thru site, I see that you have an Animal Science degree. I have an MS in Animal Science Immunology, and spent 20 years in human pharmaceuticals.
