First, I don’t consider myself an expert but someone who is well seasoned. I’ve had four dogs, a rabbit, and a bearded dragon that taught me how to truly care. From them, I gained firsthand experience in pet care and quickly learned the value of finding someone trustworthy to care for them when I couldn’t be there. Second, I took steps to become a professional pet sitter by starting my own LLC, becoming bonded and insured, pet first aid trained, and pet CPR certified. I managed my own pet-sitting business for 10 years before closing my doors just prior to COVID-19. Now I’m passing on my knowledge and lessons learned to pet owners in need of information.
