I grew up outside of Baltimore, Maryland. Ever since I can remember, we always had a house full of pets. Dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, goats, geese, ducks, birds… you name it, we had it! I knew my future would include working with animals.
At 15, I began working in a veterinary office. I started off as a member of the kennel staff and within 6 months my title was Vet Tech. For 10 years I worked with the same veterinarian and gained valuable experience in traditional veterinary medicine including spay and neuter as well as emergency services and surgeries. In 1991 I graduated from Towson University with a degree in biology.
From 1995 until 2005, I lived in southern California where I studied microbiology and considered going to Vet school. While attending California State at Long Beach, my work continued as a Vet Tech as I assisted in surgeries and emergency cases. My focus went from becoming a veterinarian to starting my own business.
In 2005, I moved to Florida to be closer to family and A Critter Sitter Co was born and is going (and growing) strong!
My partner Mary and I are sole owners and operators. We consider caring for your pets an absolute privilege and look forward to meeting and serving your family!
