When Tabatha got her Basenji puppy Manah in 2007 everything changed. Working as a creative director for an entertainment and special events company, Tabatha started bringing Manah to the office so she wouldn't have to be alone all day in her kennel. Soon Manah introduced her to many fun dog events, dog parks and dog friendly restaurants. Tabatha became intrigued with the idea of simplifying her life and becoming a dog walker and pet sitter and decided to leave behind the corporate world to pursue her love of animals. She researched for over a year on healthy food choices, vaccination needs and titer testing, and how to bring up a healthy well balanced pet. Tabatha is now interested in training to get a certificate in Pet Homeopathy so she can share her knowledge of pet health to her clients.
Tabatha lives in Golden Valley with her husband Rich, their two Basenjis Manah and Uzza, Billy the Beagle, Molock the parrot and Green Bird the parakeet. Tabatha fronts the rock band UZZA and writes music with her husband Rich.
