Pet sitting involves visits to clients' homes, giving peace of mind to pet owners, and eliminates the trauma that many pets experience when they are boarded in an unfamiliar environment. I believe pets are God's example to us of unconditional love. If we could be half as loving, loyal, trusting, and awesome as pets, we could change the world. Much to my surprise, in the past fifteen years my earnings have exceeded $300,000. Much more than income though, was the satisfaction and love I received in return from fur friends.

The first time I met Georgia, it went well. But the night I went to her house without her family at home, it was quite a different experience. Our time together became very entertaining in a variety of ways. I soon realized this new pet friend of mine was smart and was always thinking of things to do. But after treats, walks, and ball-playing, we were best friends. I hope best friends for life.
