Introduction: I care about my work critters and they become part of our family. I myself have had 8 years experience as a professional pet sitter. I went to NoVA College to get a degree in Animal Science specializing in Veterinary Technology. I am Red Cross Pet First Aid Certified. I keep a list of former and current client references (upon request or at the Meet & Greet visit) that are available to call or email. I have the best job ever! I get to play with lots of four legged friends all day. They are always happy to see me and make me smile through snow, rain, or shine.

How did you get started doing this type of work?
How did you get into PetSitting? I got into pet sitting because I had 2 unfortunate experiences in a row when I hired neighbors to take care of my dogs. I came home to messes that took hours to clean up and my pups were so unhappy. I decided to find a professional pet sitter for my next trip. When I interviewed pet sitting companies..I said "I want to do this too!" At the time, I was a stay-at-home mother going to college at night for Pharmacy Tecnology. I began working for 2 companies at once to keep my schedule full and switched my school focus to Animal Science. After gaining experience with those companies, I decided to begin my own business when I moved to Rising Sun.
