Hi, I’m Antje!
The friendly face, full time teacher, & female veteran behind The Extra Mile!
Like you, I am positively in love with my fur babies. I have three cats, Andy, Violet Ray and Piper Ava who are quite the stars on Instagram! And they’re definitely the stars inside the house. They know I’d do anything to keep them happy, healthy, and just a tad bit spoiled.
They’re the reason I created The Extra Mile!
This passion-project-turned-business was born out of a desire to treat our pets like the family members they are. To make them feel loved, welcomed, and cherished in every way possible.
Consider The Extra Mile your one stop shop for love-fueled services, accessories, and toys to keep your pet buzzing with energy all day long.
I’m positive your pets will love our services just as much as Violet Ray loves her attention! ;)

When I’m not loving on our clients or packaging a handcrafted order, you can find me sipping iced coffee & desperately trying to keep it out of Violet Ray's reach!

BEHIND THE SCENES MASTERMIND
I consider myself the marketing mastermind of this team. I’ve got 19 years of wisdom under my belt & know a good idea when I see one! When I’m not coming up with the next big break, you can find me napping in the sun or lounging on the couch.
