ABOUT US
Proprietor: Karen Ritchie-Cameron
5/22/1959 - 6/14/2021
Karen's background was in animal rescue, getting started as a volunteer with Michigan Humane Society in the late 1980's. At that time, she was Vice President of an advertising agency and loved her job. She quickly realized her true passion was working with animals and ultimately traded her briefcase for a poop scooper. She left her advertising job and opened Bed & Biscuit in 1996. Since her start with MHS, Karen rescued and rehomed over 1500 animals. Please have a look at the "Rescue" section of our Facebook page for some of those she has fostered.
Karen sadly passed in June, 2021 from a difficult battle with espohageal cancer. Although she is no longer physically part of Bed & Biscuit, her legacy will live on through the very capable staff that have been with the business for years. Her presence is sorely missed.
Our Staff
Bed & Biscuit has been so fortunate over the years to have had consistently wonderful people working for us. Due to the nature of this business, the staff is more of an extended family. Thank you to all for being an integral part of the success of Bed & Biscuit! They know your dogs, and your dogs know them. Each member of our staff provides the same love and care to your animals as they do their own, and we all have a houseful! We love our pets and understand how you feel leaving them, especially for the first time. Rest assured, the B&B staff is very attentive to each client and they do everything possible to make your pet's stay as close to home as possible!
Cass
Cassandra Vantino started as Kennel Manager for Bed & Biscuit in October, 2024. She has worked at B&B for several months and is now the primary contact at Bed & Biscuit. Cass is full of life and energy and love for animals! She is as passionate about animals as Karen ever was and will be keeping our office, staff and kennel running smoothly. Amanda, Karen's daughter, maintains ownership and oversees the kennel in the background while Cass continues to run it and live on site as Karen did for over 25 years. Bed & Biscuit will be better than ever under her leadership! Cass is joined by her wife, Kourtny and their son, Isaac along with their furry family of Luna, Comet and Suki (who they adopted from B&B!).
Jennie, Rachel, Kat, and Kristy
Jennie and Rachel have been with us for years, and Kat and Kristy are the newest members of our Bed & Biscuit family. They are great additions to the staff and take excellent care of your pets! We are so blessed to have this group of ladies who love animals and will be with us for years to come! Each one of these ladies sweet and caring and wonderful with the animals!
