Throwing employees a bone
How some Employers are helping workers care for their pets

Patricia Kitchen
Change@work

As a manager, employee and pet lover, Janine Dion says she's grateful to work for a pet-friendly employer, Crest Hollow Country Club, where she is director of sales and marketing. As the caretaker of three cats and two dogs, she gets up an hour early each morning to tend to feeding, watering, walking and litter-box cleanup. On days she and/or her husband have after-work events, they negotiate who'll get home first to care for the critters. At work, when one of her staff has a pet issue, she says, she's quick to be accommodating.

And while pets can add anxiety and stress to an employee's life, that's more than tempered by just one lick or tail wag, says Dion, who is also founder and president of Pet Peeves Inc., a Woodbury-based animal advocacy group.
