Hello, I am a professional Pet Sitter. In my 4th year of business as a sole proprietor. I was a cook for 32 years bbefore I got burned out on the profession (pun intended!). I started out as a sandwich salesman at 24 and worked my way into busnoy, waiter, caterer, cook, cooking demonstration, cooking instruction, chef school student and then I hit burn out. When I realized there was an entire profession of self-employed people walking dogs and doing house visits as pet sitters taking care of cats and dogs I knew i was destined for a whole new career :)
