About the Book

When I used to hear people say that they loved their job I truly wondered how that was possible. To actually look forward to going to your place of employment on a daily basis seemed likely to be difficult to find. They were the lucky ones I thought. I always had the desire to work with pets in some capacity but the idea of being a Veterinarian didn't really appeal due to the necessity of surgeries and the sadness of Euthanasia, not to mention the schooling it would take to get there. I was in need of employment after moving to Cape Cod and asked the Veterinarian's office if they needed help with the animals. They said they didn't but that there was a big need for pet sitters. What's that? She mentioned briefly that it involved caring for people's pets while they are away or have a long work day. I got a book on the subject and also called a local pet sitter to see if we could meet to talk about her experiences. We had lunch and she was in her 7th year and I was very intrigued. After that I pursued pet sitting and am now in my 14th year. I was very surprised at the demand there is, and was amazed my earnings to date have exceeded $250,000. I feel truly blessed to have found this career, working with sweet pets daily, keeping them out of boarding situations which is very traumatic and even deadly in some cases. Pets are happiest at home. Getting to meet their new "baby" sitter is very important and a relationship develops that is so rewarding. In this book I describe the steps I took to become a pet sitter, and various stories of adventures I shared with fur friends. I was truly blessed to have found a source of employment that indeed I could look forward to each and every day, never dull or mundane but love and fun found with the turn of a key.

About the Author :
I was born in Worcester, Ma in September of 1958. I was raised in Boylston until 4th grade, then we moved to Sterling, Ma where I attended Florence G. Houghton School through 8th grade. Later I attended Wachusett High School in Holden. I graduated 1976 and joined the Army soon after. I was one of the last of the WACS (Women's Army Corp) as they were phased out in December. The Army then started co-ed Basic Training. My 18th Birthday I went through the Gas chamber exercise-such fun..(not) While in the Army, my occupation was called COMSEC Repair- (Communications Security Repair). I repaired encrypted radios and was stationed in Germany at age 18. It was an awesome experience I'll always be thankful for. I also got to visit Austria, Switzerland and Holland. After the Army I attended Quinsigamond Community College, graduating in 1982 with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. I worked security in various capacities over ten years and also attended Bridgewater State College graduating in 1987 with a Bachelor Degree in Psychology. I have always loved animals and my parents were the same way. I always wanted to find a way to work with them on a daily basis and was fortunate enough to have succeeded.
