Born to love pets

Pet care experience

I grew up in a home with pets when I was 12 years old my godmother had died so I would watch Elsa until her daddy came home after school. I didn't get paid for this nor did I want to Elsa and I always had a special bond since she had been rescued some days for very hard emotionally because I would start missing my godmother Martha I loved Elsa like she was my own I've been watching pets ever since and now I own a home, 3 cats 3 dogs all rescued. When I move to Florida couple of years ago I took good care of a family's five dogs. The remainder of the family moved down last year. There were enough kids in the family that they did not need my pet sitting services I did continue to work for them doing house repairs and painting. I'm getting ready to leave the cutthroat corporate world to embrace pet sitting as my only career. The stress from the workplace has Been damaging to my health. Taking care of pets is my dream job it brings me so much happiness and fulfillment if I were to win the lottery I would taking as many homeless pets as possible. I would not buy a nice car more things for myself that's not what makes me happy, knowing that all pets are getting good treatment and care is what matters most to me in life. I went to a Christian School growing up I am a Christian for those of you that are of different Faith please don't worry I'm not the judgmental type we all come from different backgrounds and teachings and experience it's what works for me what works for me does not work for everyone I only tell you this because I am a very honest person and do not care about material things. If I haven't earned, it I don't have a right to it. You do not have to worry with me I will treat your pets as if they are my own and if I am staying at your house or entering your house you do not have to worry about your belongings I could care less about those things relationships with people and pets are what I care about most and what drives me every day.

I have known Ed for about 5 years and he has shown more love and compassion for animals than anyone I know. He has a real passion for giving every animal the best life possible.

Ed has a deep love for animals. He would be the person I would have pet sit for my 2 dogs anytime I would need someone to do so. I would completely trust him with my beloved pets and also in my home.

I find Ed to be a true loving animal lover that has unlimited patience and understanding whether the pet seems to be not up to par or is full of energy and ready to. I’ve seen him give medication with ease when needed without the pet being uncomfortable in the process. I completely recommend Ed to anyone who would be thinking of leaving their pet in his care. He will treat them as his own which is exactly what you want.
