I was born in a family with a dog which began my lifelong
love for
animals. I have owned dogs all my life. In my early 20s, I started adopting from a local animal shelter and then went on to become a volunteer at the same shelter for 14 years. I would walk and socialize with the dogs, spend some time socializing with the cats, and help with fundraising events.
It was then I knew that I wanted to work with animals. When I heard about pet sitting, I knew that was for me. After all, the thing that I loved about volunteering was that the animals were always happy to see me and it's the same with a pet I am pet sitting for.
I started Wags and Whiskers Pet Sitting in 2002. It was on a part-time basis. Pet sitting services for pets
whose owners were away on vacations.
