Hi, I’m Kate Klausner and I’m excited and overjoyed to be the owner of Rainbow Tails Ann Arbor! My journey of pet care started in 2009 when I took on the care of two high-needs dogs, in addition to the two I already owned. These special cases had high energy, high anxiety, shyness, and seizures. These needs led me to get very involved in every aspect of their well-being, including making their food so I could more effectively manage their health. It began to dawn on me then, that I loved caring for animals. But more than that, I also had a heart for ensuring they thrive.
Over time, I’ve come to realize that my earlier retail management experience with employees, and my heart
for
animals, are really part of a single story of compassion that has resonated throughout my life.
In 2012, I opened Rainbow Tails Ann Arbor. Today, I manage Rainbow Tails with three important
philosophies:
I am a Michigan native and proud to be a member of the Rainbow Tails family! My first friend, at a few days old, was a golden retriever named Amber. Since then, animals have always been part of my life.
Growing up on an equestrian center, I experienced a menagerie of horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. I wound up pursuing an MFA in acting and moved myself and my pet rat, Remmi, from a small town in Michigan to the center of New York City. There I met my kindred spirit dog, Roo, a spunky love-bug Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. A few years after school I relocated to Ann Arbor. When I’m not onstage, you can find me pet-sitting with Rainbow Tails!
Working at Rainbow Tails provides the company of an array of animals and the promise of exciting adventures. I adore meeting new pups, kitties, and more. The best part of this job is forming a memorable bond with an animal. Walking into visits with bouncy four-legged friends who are ECSTATIC to see you is a one-of-a-kind experience. Being a dog mom myself, I understand the value of finding a caregiver to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet. Rainbow Tails offers a team of animal lovers who look after pets as if they were their own. I am honored to be a part of that crew, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
Working for Rainbow Tails hardly feels like a job. It is a break from my hectic life to care for and spend time with animals who need love most when their parents are away. I love how supportive my team is and how our role in pets’ lives make a positive impact in even the most timid or aggressive of pets! Growing up I wasn’t allowed to have pets, but I’ve always loved animals. I am the girl in the corner of a house party cuddling with their dog. 😉 When I’m less busy, I want to have a pet of my own, and Rainbow Tails has given me the skills and knowledge to do that!
Hi! My name is Andrea and I am 38 years old. I am a single mother of 2, but have a total of 5 kids and 3 grandchildren. I started working for Rainbow Tails because I am a huge animal lover with a small home, and I only have 3 fish to spoil.
I was raised in a country setting and always had pets of all kinds growing up – from ducks ,to cats, and all sizes of dogs. I pride myself in being gentle and stubborn enough to work with any personality a pet may have, and show them that I am actually a great friend that will love and spoil them. 😊 This is the best company and occupation I have ever had!
Hi, I’m Kristen and being a part of Rainbow Tail’s team has been one of the best career opportunities that has come along in my journey! Being able to do one of my favorite activities – which is walking – with the amazing bonus of a furry friend to keep me company on exploring different paths to stroll, has made me appreciate how much I enjoy staying active and seeing their smiling faces excited to run, walk and hop all over! It’s so wonderful to see them bouncing and wiggling away when I arrive, excited and happy for the adventure we are about to head on, and all the snuggles and kisses they know they’re about to get! I also love snuggling with all the kitties too, they are so entertaining to watch and play with. I have two lovely cats myself, River and Willow; they tend to act more like dogs, though, and follow me all over the house and they’re pretty chatty when I talk to them! I love working with all animals, and grew up doing 4-H and showing my horse in competitions. I also groomed dogs for four years, but switching career paths to dog walking has been the best opportunity and brought me so many smiles! I always look forward to seeing my old furry friends and meeting new ones!
Hi! My name is Jenna and I have been working with Rainbow Tails since September 2017! I have always had a great passion for animals of all kinds big or small, furry or scaly!
Growing up I had 3 Golden retrievers, a Labrador retriever, 2 rabbits, multiple fish, 2 Shih-tzus, and now am the proud owner of 2 dachshunds who are the loves of my life! Oh, and I also used to volunteer at a stable in the summer, grooming and taking care of horses! I grew up on a lake, so I love all the wonderful animals that the lake attracts like frogs, turtles, salamanders and snakes! Before Rainbow Tails I use to pet-sit for neighbors, friends and family, and have always been the one anyone calls for help with their pet!
Rainbow Tails has been a real blessing for me, because it has really opened the door for me to living the dream of working with animals, and finally working with others, who are all just as big of animal lovers as I am! Since I started, I have created so many wonderful bonds with all the amazing pets we work with, as well as their wonderful pet parents! I will say though, the only downside to this job is when we get news of a pet who has passed away, because I love all our fur-friends as if they were my own adopted family!
Hi, I’m Mark! I grew up on a farm in mid-Michigan and have loved animals all my life. I’ve lived in Ann Arbor for 23 years, and own and manage a lighting business with my partner.
We have 4 cats! I’ve worked part-time for Rainbow Tails for five years, and love the time I get to spend with all the pets we care for. When I’m not working, you can find me on the Huron River, or in one of Ann Arbor’s many parks.
