1 Answer

Answer :

I own and run a Pet Sitiing business. I established it in 2005. I started it because I love animals and it seemed like a great way to make some money. This year I was able to leave my full time job to run my pet sitting business full time. I do feel successful! I love animals and I love people. It is wonderful to be able to help both and my business is growing by leaps and bounds. I am NEVER going to go back to working for someone else.
