About:

 I started pet sitting as a hobby while living in the Bay Area (1996). At the young age of 8 years old, I had my first job for my next door neighbors (3 black labs, and 4 cats). Neighbors heard that I had done a very well job, and started spreading the word. In the next couple of years, I had obtained a number of clients to pet sit for. My clients started asking how much I charged, and I told them nothing (it was my hobby) but many of them insisted on paying me. I was very upset when my family moved away from all of my furry friends (in 2005 to Roseville). I have worked in the vet field for 21 years now and have petsat the whole time. I am retiring from the vet field and I am now turning my hobby into a dream job. I hope to one day open a natural pet food store. I love what I do for a living. I am currently residing back in WEST SACRAMENTO!
