Pacifica/San Francisco, CA
Years as a Professional Pet Sitter: One
PSI Member Since 2007
Likes: Animals and nature, camping, hiking, going to the zoo, botanical gardens, Golden Gate Park, black leather, getting tattoos, good food and the Pacific Ocean. I also love photography; including taking pictures of (and with) my client’s amazing animals!
Dislikes: Loud, aggressive people, crowded malls, "reality TV”, people who litter and drive while talking on cell phones. (Don't even get me going on people who mistreat animals!)
Favorite Color: I don't really have a favorite
Favorite Food: It’s a tie: Pizza and Mint Milanos (with milk, of course!)
Favorite Movie: Titanic (I am a sucker for a movie that has both a GOOD story and special effects)
Favorite Song: I have WAY too many to mention - it all depends on my mood
“Tricks of the Trade:” I always take extra time to bond with the pets off the books. I play with the animals and return all the love and companionship that they have given me.
Favorite Dog Name: Sampson Stone
Favorite Cat Name: Puss ‘N Boots
Favorite “Alternative” Pet: Elephant (there is no other creature more amazing to me in this world than an elephant!)
Favorite “Downtime” Activity: Browsing the web, watching TV, working out, reading, playing with my cat, Sylvester, and my partner, Salvatore, and going to the movies.
Best Pet-Sitting Experience: Thus far, my favorite experience has been sitting for my client Jeff's two awesome cats, Massimo and Barkley. They are very affectionate, playful and loving. And they LOVE to be photographed! I never want to leave them - I could hang out with them all day! On my Web site, they are the April Pets of the Month.
What accomplishment are you most proud of? Finally learning from my mistakes and experiences! Putting myself and my happiness first and my best foot forward. Putting everything I have into my new pet sitting business!
What kind of car would you drive if money was not an object? I would drive the same car I am driving now, my amazing 2005 Honda Accord Sedan!
What is your “Dream Vacation?” I would like to take a nonstop, 6-month tour of the world, by air, land and sea. I hope to see Egypt, Africa, Australia and Alaska!
What does your PSI Membership mean to you? It means that I have all the tools necessary to grow my business, learn and become the BEST pet sitter I can be! It also means I have a great support system to help me achieve my goals.
Finish this sentence: “If I hadn’t become a pet sitter, I never would have… found my true calling. This, after so many years of boring, corporate America - years I spent in one job or another - taking one course after another and NEVER feeling what I was doing was important or fulfilling, or that I even LIKED what I was doing! It finally dawned on me that my love for animals - combined with my sharp organizational skills - would make me an EXCELLENT pet sitter! I started my own business at 37 years old!
