I am 48 years old I have 3 children that live upstate new york. I am a semi-retired Equity trader, I spent 20+ in the financial industry. I worked on the New York Stock Exchange for 20 years where I learned life lessons about people, hard work and about the integrity of the business. As I started losing interest in that field of work, I realized I like enjoy spending time with pets more than I like spending time with people. Well actually that's only partially true but I have grown to love animals, and I really do love my job. The money is not the draw in this business, you need to really enjoy pet sitting or walking dogs. It is exciting to me.
