Having 40 plus years in the veterinary field, you learn to understand individual pet behaviors and body language as well as understanding their needs being young or old. I also created a home based pet photography company Snarky By Nature Greetings 4 years ago that coordinates fund raisers for local rescue groups, and created a line of cards that will go on to help support their tireless efforts. My patience and knowledge of animal handling has brought on great reviews on my Facebook page. I am somewhat new to pet sitting, but I am considering leaving my current position of 21 years after being sold out to corporate VCA. I believe this could be a shining opportunity to recruit new four legged models to help with our cause.
