Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I founded M & N Pet Services out of my lifelong love for animals and a desire to provide exceptional care and peace of mind to pet owners. Inspired by my experience with rescue and foster work, I am passionate about building trust with pets, addressing their unique needs and advocating for their well being. My mission is to create meaningful connections between pets and their families, offering personalized care, behavior training and a safe loving environment for all animals.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by my deep passion for animals and the joy of seeing them thrive under my care. The trust and appreciation of my clients fuel my drive as do the wagging tails, happy purrs and progress of the pets that I work with. My commitment to rescue advocacy and helping animals with trust, anxiety and aggression issues keeps me focused on my mission. Personal growth, learning new techniques and creating a positive impact in her community further inspire me every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would invest in growing M & N Pet Services by developing my own line of dog supplies, upgrading equipment and enhancing marketing efforts, including promoting my pet photography business, FurEver Moments With Hillary. I would further support my rescue advocacy initiative, Hillary’s Safe Haven and expand my training programs to help more pets. Additionally, I would use the funds to strengthen my family’s stability and build a welcoming environment in our new home.
