Sometimes, looking back at our past can illuminate our future. For chefs, it might be memories of family meals; for musicians, the echoes of grandparents’ songs. Athletes might recall games of catch with loved ones. While I cherish similar memories, my most profound influence came from my mother’s endless parade of animals. We weren’t on a farm, yet our home was a haven for cats, dogs, rabbits, goats, chickens, and even, for a time, a donkey. Unknowingly, this early immersion in the animal world ignited a lifelong desire within me: to serve and to nurture. Animals, particularly our domesticated companions, depend on us for safety, nourishment, and affection. This realization is at the heart of why I am dedicated to providing exceptional Pet Sit services.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my connection with animals is how often lost pets seem to find me. Whether they follow me down the street or stop my little electric car, they seem to sense a helping hand. No matter how busy my day, I always make time to contact their owners or check neighborhood doors, ensuring I don’t fail them in their moment of need. This ability to connect with animals and assist them brings me immense joy, a gift I truly treasure. It solidified my path towards professional pet sit work.
Currently, my home is shared with a spirited 11-year-old Siamese cat named BoB, a determined deaf 10-year-old Cockapoo named Chuck, a lively 3-year-old German Shepherd called Bob, and Frankie, a wise 19-year-old Lhasa Apso who keeps everyone in line. And of course, my supportive husband Kevin, who shares my passion for pets and ensures our home is a secure and loving environment for them all.
Yes, I am a pet sit professional. More than just a casual hobby, this is my dedicated career. I’m not the neighborhood teenager looking for weekend pocket money; I am a committed professional providing reliable pet sit services. I care for your pets as if they were my own and respect your home as I would my own. I offer the same level of care and attention to your beloved animals that I provide to mine. My journey into professional pet sit began in 2006 when I responded to a job advertisement. Initially seeking part-time work, I unexpectedly discovered my true calling. Everything clicked into place, revealing my life’s purpose. Looking back, it’s clear: this is who I am, and who I was meant to be – a dedicated pet sit expert.
We are a team of like-minded, professional pet sit specialists. We are committed to continuous learning, staying updated on the best practices for pet care through ongoing reading and participation in local and online courses. Our wonderful clients often seek our advice, and we strive to provide them with science-based knowledge and guidance on training and behavioral issues. My personal commitment to education drives me to be a strong advocate for the pets under our care. I have enhanced my expertise by attending the Victoria Stilwell Academy of Dog Training, deepening my understanding and compassion for animal behavior. My learning continues, encompassing everything from welcoming new puppies into homes to providing compassionate end-of-life support for companion animals, ensuring comprehensive pet sit and care knowledge.
Giving back to the community is important to us. We proudly volunteer and donate to local organizations such as Our Giving Garden (pet pantry), LifeLine Animal Project, and Act2pups. These partnerships reflect our dedication to animal welfare beyond our professional pet sit services.
