Deirdre Weissman  
President
Owner
Veterinary Technician

Deirdre Weissman graduated from Cornell University's Engineering School in 1999. After being a Web developer and consultant in Boston for a few years, she left her job to finally pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. In preparation, she worked as a veterinary technician at South Bay Veterinary Group in Boston. In August of 2003, she moved to Philadelphia and worked part-time at the VCA Cat Hospital while starting PhilaPets.com and applying to veterinary school.

Deirdre has been around animals her whole life, growing up with dogs and cats and hamsters and birds and gerbils and fish and frogs and various other creatures. Walking dogs when she could, she has pet-sat and house-sat for several people as well. She was also heavily involved in a program in Boston called Phinney's Friends, a program that cares for animals of people sick with AIDS. A true lover of animals, she believes it is her life's mission to better the lives of our furry friends.

Deirdre is now a student at University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. She is the creator and President of PhilaPets.com, a company dedicated to giving its clients the highest level of pet service in the city. Deirdre and her husband, Zeth, continue to grow the business as she progresses through veterinary school. They both are very lucky to share their home with their lovely and mischievous kitties Coda and Joey and dog Ginger Rose.
