Hello, I am Chris Vavrek , long time friend and repeat employee for Judy Gilpin, Owner/Operator of Pet Professionals.

I grew up in the Portland/Gresham area attending both David Douglas and Centennial High school. I am the proud mother of a son and daughter and a grandmother to 4 amazing grandkids. I have lost count of how many furry children I have had. At one time I rescued and relocated abandoned kitties. The new kitten count one summer was 20.

I recently relocated back to Oregon from Georgia and returned to Pet Professionals as a pet care provider. I am located in Gresham with my little dachshund "Pippi" and my long hair calico kitty "Zoe" I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the pet care services you need.
