A Putnam County resident has combined her love of animals and a desire to own a business into an endeavor aimed at helping pet owners in the county. 

Rosemary Hurst has opened The Pet Pawlor in her home and enjoyed a successful grand opening earlier this month. 

"The Pet Pawlor is a pet spa that focuses on meeting the hygiene needs of cats and dogs. Striving to help animals feel better while making their owners happy too. We provide services such as bathing, ear cleanings, nail trims, belly and potty patch shaving and basic, full body grooming," Hurst told The Putnam County Post. 

Hurst said what she enjoys most about her endeavor is the opportunity to work with animals while making her own schedule. 

"I have years of experience working with animals as a vet assistant in the veterinary field, but the hours kept me away from my daughter. This business gives me the best of both worlds, allowing a flexible schedule to be there for her activities," Hurst said. 

For those wishing to pamper their pets, Hurst said people can call or text her at 765-721-4010 or follow her Facebook page, "The Pet Pawlor by Rosemary." In addition, she can be emailed at thepetpawlorbyrosemary@gmail.com.
