After graduating from college with a degree in special education, I went to work excited and ready for a rewarding experience. However, after one year, I was exhausted; mentally, physically and emotionally. At this moment I started to brainstorm about the perfect job. Little did I know how quickly the idea would come. During a family vacation, I was spending a relaxing day at the beach with my mother discussing life and dreams and the what if’s. She asked me the age old question, “If you had the choice of doing anything you wanted, what would it be?” In jest, I responded that I wouldn’t mind playing with dogs all day. It was as easy as that!

I worked one more year as a teacher, spending my free time working on the business plan for my very own pet sitting business. In June of 2001, after a year of anticipation, I started Pet Nanny. Almost immediately, I found the excitement and fulfillment I was seeking in a career. The wagging tails and looks of content on the faces of my new “clients” was proof enough that this was the right profession for me.

After years of success, I am proud of growing this extraordinary business. My job is both rewarding and challenging. After all, it is my dream job.
