When I started I thought I'd be the little neighborhood pet-sitter, nothing big, nothing extraordinary. Business started snowballing. I found out I needed insurance and there was the national organization, Pet Sitters International. And then I put the ad on the Internet.

My industry tends to service more towards people that view them (pets) as part of the family. They tend to think of their pets more on a human level. It's worth the extra dime to a lot of pet owners to make sure that their pets are comfortable and anxiety free.
