Best Pet-Sitting Experience: I pet sit for a client who has a beautiful Samoyed, Casey. Casey is a rescue dog and had been abused in the past. She was so scared that she would not come to anyone – not even family members. After one year of pet sitting, Casey walked right up to me and let me pet and brush her. Then we went for a long walk. I was so thrilled that I cried.

What does your PSI Membership mean to you? Potential clients - I've gained many from PSI already – and knowing the organization is there for me.
Finish this sentence: "If I hadn't become a pet sitter, I never would have… known what so many sloppy kisses felt like in one day or how an animal can make me feel so good - even if I feel bad. There is always one animal, every day, who can bring a smile to my face.”
