Adirondack Pet & House Sitting
I started pet sitting about 20 years ago when I was living in Connecticut. I owned a horse farm and never went on vacation because I didn't trust anybody to take care of my 7 horses, 5 cats, chickens, peacocks and German Shepherd. One day a good friend approached me and knew that after years of being tied to my farm I needed to get away. That friend not only gave me a much needed worry free vacation but also became my partner in JJS Pet Sitting (named after my farm Jumping Jack Stable). Together we grew a successful pet sitting business until I was drawn to the Adirondacks. I vacationed every summer in Lake George with my parents when I was young and knew one day I would live here. So I took my knowledge (and every penny I had) moved here and started up Adirondack Pet Sitting. The first few years were tough. I had to take on numerous job all the while trying to accumulate a client list. I worked in hotels, guided horseback trail rides and even delivered newspapers. Before long thru advertising, local veterinarian recommendation and word of mouth from satisfied clients I my business was steadily growing. Now I am happy to say I never have to look in the "Help Wanted" section again. The days are long - I sometimes get up at 5:00 in the morning and don't go to bed until midnight. But I absolutely enjoy my job and feel lucky to be earning a living doing what I love.
