I have pursued pet sitting as a natural solution to my desire for a more joyful and fulfilling career path. My family lightheartedly refers to me as “the pet whisperer,” as I seem to inspire near-instant loyalty from any animal that comes into our home. My family has two dogs (a black Lab named Crash and a Maltipoo named Missy), as well as three cats (Sam, Bob and Obiwan). In years past, we've also cared for hamsters and ferrets. My "career" in pet sitting started out with caring for friend's pets and then expanded in to caring for pet of friends of friends. I've handled everything from snakes to a huge Mastiff named Fridge, (yes, as in refrigerator), who know all his commands in German.
