The Origins of my Pet Sitting Business

Like a lot of people, I’ve had the honor of having animals in my life since I was born. As a child I learned early on to depend upon their companionship, and they kept me from loneliness. I learned the responsibility of caring for them. I came to respect them in every way. Our pets comforted us when we needed tenderness. They would sacrifice their lives for us, some of them. (Maybe not so much those cats!)

Until I was fifty years old, I had always kept at least one cat and one dog. There are repercussions to having pets, especially as a person that has always enjoyed moving around a lot, but I managed. When asked about any longterm relationships, I can only claim my Shar Pei, Stitch, my best friend and companion for thirteen years. The loveliest and most gracious being I’ve ever had the pleasure to spend time with.

Now I move around even more than before. I’ve shaken off a lot of furniture, things, and people that troubled me so I can be more light on this earth. I miss my friends, however. I miss my four legged companions. I miss how they ground me, how they speak with their eyes, how they are playful and fun sometimes, or more serious at others. I can always talk with them and they always get what I’m saying. I love the old wise ones as much as the younger pups and kittens who don’t listen at all but bring so much joy in their antics.

The solution came organically, as friends intuited how I adored their pets and I was a natural to ask to care for them while they went away. I began advertising pet sitting as a service, and my calendar filled up.

I suppose it’s true also that I easily adapt to new scenes and circumstances. I like the constant flow of new places to stay and explore. It appeases my desire for adventure. I’ve stayed in places I’d never be able to afford in real life, and I’ve had time with other people’s pets that are so close to my heart I’ve been torn apart when they’ve died. I’ve had the honor of being flown places to care for pets I’ve come to have a relationship with. There are a few standard gigs in my repertoire that I always reserve for certain dogs and cats. When they need me, I am there if I possibly can be. I have dedicated times on my calendar that I know I’ll be with certain canines year after year. They have become my family.

It is amazing but I have found I can float from one job to the next, barely touching down at the home where I keep my pillow. I am a vagabond, in essence, with a home base in Fountain Hills, AZ.

I don’t have any formal training with animals, but I do possess a gentle spirit and love of them that they recognize in me and mirror back. I am intuitive and like to let an animal approach me if they are shy. I will sit and wait for hours for them to come to me, and eventually they always do. My skills with animals are growing all the time, with every new situation. No two are the same, so I learn new things all the time.

I am a person you can invite into your home and you can go away and leave me caring for your pets, your home, your plants, your mail, and so on. I respect your privacy and don’t go places I’ve no business going. I’ll look around in your kitchen to get acclimated, but not any other rooms. I respect your privacy. I would ask your permission before inviting anyone over. I don’t smoke and I rarely drink alcohol. I’m old enough to be tame and trustworthy. When I’m caring for pets, I like to text photos and let people know what’s going on at least twice a day. Everything I do, I think of the pet’s safety first and the security of the house, and how I would like things done if I were the owner.

I consider it an honor to be trusted in this way. It does my very soul good to spend time with animals, and being able to stay in your home and care for your pets makes it a winning situation for everyone.
