It has been an immense joy and privilege to have been able to follow my dream and become the first in-home pet sitting service offered in the Quinte area 25 years ago. Through many, many struggles I found so many moments of kindness, and support and made the most beautiful connections to over 1,200 pets! I could not have done my business without the understanding and support of my son Andrew. He was so young when I started, and being a single parent there were many times when I had to place the needs of my company over our family. 24 Christmases leaving the house first thing in the morning to drive hither and yon visiting pets; trying to be there for him when I knew I had clients waiting for me; but he smiled and supported me through the whole thing. Now, as I look back and see all these photos I realize I was also given a unique opportunity to share this amazing time with him, unlike so many parents whose job is separated from their personal life. Andrew had some fun and I got to see him laugh, cry and experience all these animals much as I did! So now I slide into a reluctant retirement but my heart is full of gratitude, and for all the moments I may have missed I see I have so many more that help fill in that gap. Thank you to everyone for the kindness, care and belief in me over these past 25 years. It means more than words can ever express. Love you Andrew you're the best son!!!!❤❤❤❤
