If you're looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy sitter, look no further.
For several years in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri (Yes - USA!), I ran a licensed and insured pet sitting business (Hampton House Pet Care). During my time with my business, I "sat" so many animals from all walks of life - yorkies to mastiffs to kittens to ferrets to cockatoos to guinea pigs and beyond! It was during this time that I really noticed I had a "knack" with animals - it was undeniable.
Add to that that my primary income is earned "at home," as a freelance web developer, and it became clear that pet sitting and I are a perfect fit. I have the time and flexibility, as well as the love for all critters, to provide top knotch pet sitting services to those around me.
Since I have been in Australia, I have really missed my time pet sitting back home. I was so happy to find Mad Paws for this reason!
NOTE: I do not have a fenced yard - I have a huge balcony for "outdoor space." Dogs will need to be able to use bathroom on (included in fee!) walks....
