For as long as I can remember, when someone would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up the answer was always "something with animals." Although I never knew exactly what.

I moved to Vista in 2002 where I found my first job at Tigertail Foods (www.tigertailfoods.com).  My very first pet sitting client is a customer of Tigertail Foods.  After sitting for her I realized that I really liked it, and from there I found the Pet Sitting University.

After completing the Pet Sitting University course I officially started my business in 2004. I carry liability insurance, bonding and a city licence.  Three very importane things for any pet sitter to have.  I have also since been through the PetTech pet saver course and had previously been certified in pet First Aid by the Red Cross.

Pets have been a part of my life since the day I came home from the hospital, and I can't see that ever changing. My family has always had pets and I have learned so much from them. Among my first were chickens, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and the list goes on! Eventually my mother gave in and we got a dog. He was a 4 year old Papillon named Rusty. He made the biggest impact on me because we essentially grew up together. We were lucky enough to have him for 12 years. He passed away on Febuary 26^th 2006 at 16. He is pictured on the home page at 15.

Among my current menagerie is my dog Frodo, a Pomeranian, three cats; Pookey, Yofi and Cleo, my bird Cala; a Half Moon Conure, two Bearded Dragons; Hunter and Lulu, and last but not least some fresh water fish.
