6 years ago I left a counseling job and realized that I was experiencing burn out from years of listening and guiding others towards a new path. That Summer I took some time for myself and I did some soul searching on what my passion has always been, which was working with animals. While I was researching careers on working with animals I came across pet sitting and how much better it is for pets then being boarded while their owners are away. A few months later I started promoting my new business to neighbors and vets in my area and I completed a 7 month certificate program for pet sitters. The rest is history!

When I think about my biggest challenge, the first thing that comes to mind is explaining to people what I do. "You make money doing what?" Hahaha!

How do you feel now, working with Easy Busy Pets?
I was hesitant about paying for a website because of the cost to my budget which especially in 2020 has been very up and down. Now that I have been using Easy Busy Pets and my new website is up and running, I wonder why I did not take this step sooner. My business is much easier to find and I have received many new inquiries during the past few months. The software is user friendly and Easy Busy Pets does a great job of contacting you with answers when you have a question.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who wants to achieve what you have achieved?

Don't give up and do not be afraid to talk about what you do whenever you get a chance because you never know when someone will need a pet sitter. Do not feel like you need to re-invent the wheel and do not be afraid to ask questions of those in our business.
