About us.. is really not completely accurate.  For now it is just me, Michelle....  Paws-itive Pet Sitting is a one woman show!

how it all happened...

Over the years, I have worked as an executive personal assistant to senior executive management for fortune 500 companies which creates a busy schedule.  I enjoyed being an assistant and found it to be challenging, but I was missing my two dogs at home.  I had pictures of my dogs right next to my wonderful husband on my desk!  It was heartbreaking for both my husband and I to leave them in the morning before the sun is up, whimpering and then not see them until the sun goes down at the end of the day.  They were excited and full of energy however we were not but tried to make time for a walk with them.  I have always wanted to work with animals as a career but when I worked at a veterinary office (Flagstaff, AZ) it was not what I thought it would be. So my husband said, why not start a business of pet sitting?  You do it for your boss and friends/neighbors, why not try it out?    
 
We had been using a pet sitter (Hi Tim!) while living in Geneva, and so I asked him about him about his business.  We did a lot of traveling and had utilized him instead of boarding our dogs (our dogs would come home depressed or fearful and usually had some sort of diarrhea problem) so he was a wonderful resource to get information from.   

So when we moved here to Parker, Colorado from Geneva, Illinois (suburb of Chicago) earlier this year; I decided to step up and create my new and exciting future working with animals and animal lovers -- pet sitting. Paws-itive Pet Sitting is the result of ten plus years experience of pet sitting and finally having the courage to take a chance!
 
I can't wait to meet you and your loving family of furry friends!
