Growing up we always had pets. There was Snowball the beautiful white kitty and Tiny the little tiny turtle that I set free in the backyard because I thought the bowl he stayed in was much to small. But I missed him when he didn’t return, so sad. Then of course we always had a pup or two. I had Nicki the German Short Hair that was so full of energy a little to much for a four year old. I believe that was about the same time I had my first pony ride and life would never be the same. I thought that was just the most wonderful experience ever. I finally did manage to talk my Grandparents into getting me a pony by the time I was eight. His name was Mister and he had other ideas than taking me for a ride. He was much more interested in eating the green grass he saw out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to get me off of his back almost every time we went for a ride but after Mister the other horses never got me off.
My best friend Vicki and I always went on great horse adventures one of those times we met Gary and he raised Quarter Horses we thought that was great and we did what we could to help him out. We were always over at his farm helping him exercise his Quarter Horses, feed the chickens, geese, ducks and of course his cow. Everything we did involved animals.
When I got out on my own we always had dogs and cats too, took in strays once a Great Dane trotted into the backyard she was skin and bones. We took her home and she was wonderful with the kids, she would even let them lay their heads on while she lay down for a pillow when they watched TV.
Pets have always been a huge part of our family and I believe we must give them the best we can and when we are away there is nothing better than keeping them in the home they love. Pet sitting is the best way to do this unless you have an unfriendly aggressive pet because we do have to get along in your absence. I you need more information on how pet sitting can help you and your pets needs please feel free to contact me and I will be more than glad to visit with you about pet sitting v.s. kenneling or boarding them in a facility when you are not available.
