Family photo 196l. I am at far right walking Annabelle.

Pet sitting is an occupation I fell into quite unexpectedly, but now it's become a joyful and integral part of my life. After graduating from college I taught fourth grade for a year. After that I worked as a staff photographer for my hometown newspaper and later as a PR and medical photographer in the photography service departments at two different medical schools. I have also been a PR associate and freelance writer. During the somewhat-lean freelance years a friend suggested that her pet sitter might need some extra help. Pet sitting? Hummmm. I had grown up with pets and was a dog owner myself. So I signed up in May 2003 and it has truly been a fit. 
Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
