Celebrating 20 Years in BusinessāØ
How fitting that this week is Professional Pet Sitters Week, marking exactly twenty years since I took a leap of faith, left my accounting career and turned my love for animals into a business. What started as a simple passion for caring for pets has blossomed into two decades of love, trust, and countless wagging tails and happy purrs.
Over the years, Iāve been privileged to care for hundreds of petsāeach with their own unique personality, quirks, and needs. Iāve watched puppies grow into seniors, helped shy rescues learn to trust, and comforted pets when their families were away. Iāve been there for first walks, belly rubs, medication routines, and even final goodbyes. Every moment, every pet, has left a mark on my heart. ā¤
Owning a pet care business for 20 years hasnāt just been a jobāitās been a journey of dedication, responsibility, and deep, unconditional love. Iāve been entrusted with the most cherished members of a family, and that is a responsibility I will never take for granted.
To my incredible clientsāthank you for trusting me, for welcoming me into your homes, and for allowing me to care for your beloved pets. To the pets who have become part of my extended familyāthank you for the tail wags, the snuggles, the happy greetings at the door, and the unconditional love that makes this job so special.
This week, I celebrate not just my own journey, but all pet sitters who pour their hearts into what they do. Pet sitting isnāt just about feeding and walkingāitās about love, connection, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their familyās absence.
Hereās to 20 years of furry friendships and to many more ahead! š¾ā¤ļø
