What’s Your Why?
I’ve always had a passion for pets since I was a little girl. From always begging for a pony for Christmas, to being the school mascot, a Bulldog, from bringing my wingman Jack Russell terrier, Toby, who also was part of the halftime show. He would push his giant red indestructible ball no, that was later. He would push the soccer ball up-and-down the field and hilariously entertain us. I sought out a job at the local vet and grew my passion for loving and caring for animals. There was a need for at home pet care for some pets. I had the time and wanted to take care of them. I really enjoyed caring for pets at their own house and realized how happy the pets were too! From there, things blossomed as more people found out how advantageous pet sitting really is! I have been extremely fortunate to have a job that I still love 21 years later.
