Nancy Sitter-Osberg, Pet Pastor, joined our staff through the loss of her own pet Bandit, buried here at Whispering Pines.

Nancy, an active member in the APLB, an international association related to pet loss and bereavement, demonstrates the ability to offer leadership in both chaplain and spiritual setting due to her background in both critical care and hospice nursing as well as church and spiritually based organizational affiliations.

Possessing knowledge in both Roman Catholic and Protestant liturgy rites through training. She combines her sense of compassion and loss for the pet mourner to create a memorial service for the pet suited for each individual situation.

She continues a monthly follow-up with our clients as needed to ensure that their emotional needs are being met. Nancy believes in the universality of all beings, and their place in our lives, as well as the needed sense for dignity and closure at the time of their passing.

Nancy will make herself available to all our clients on a complimentary basis, whether or not they should choose to memorialize their pet in a service. Should a memorial service setting be desired, arrangements can be secured through the management.
