Jean Marie Bauhaus: Freelance Pet Writer and SEO Content Marketing Specialist

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

My name is Jean Marie Bauhaus, but you can call me Jean. You might know me from some of my articles on Hill's Pet or AKC.org. Although I've been a freelance writer since about 2012, I've been writing primarily in the pet health and lifestyle niche since 2015. In addition to Hill's and AKC, my freelance pet writing clients have also included Bayer Pet Health, Care.com, and Big Heart Pet -- they make Milkbone Dog Biscuits and 9Lives cat food, among other prominent pet food brands (I even got to be the "voice" of Morris the Cat!).

I currently make my home in the Arkansas Ozarks, where I'm surrounded by woods and wildlife and loving every bit of it. I share my home with my husband of 14 years and our little clan of four-legged dependents: Pete, a 12-year-old Chihuahua who is the delight of our lives; Boudicca, a senior tabby cat who is as sassy as her name implies; and Matilda and Penny, two box turtles who constantly surprise us with their unique personalities. When I'm not working as a freelance pet writer, I'm usually doing the work of a fiction author. When I get tired of herding words I can usually be found either reading, or listening to a podcast or audiobook while working on a knitting or crochet project.

On this blog I'll be sharing some of my favorite freelance articles, as well as personal stories about life with our little menagerie and lessons they've taught me. I'll also share pet care tips and probably the occasional pet-related craft. If you love pets and care about their health and well-being as much as I do, hit subscribe so you'll never miss a post!
