I was raised in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago by wonderful parents who have always supported my sister and I in our journey through life. I attended Indiana University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. I decided to move to the Dallas /Fort Worth area following graduation.
I started my business career 37 years ago in sales and sales management for a fortune 100 company. Then I decided to pursue my dream of being an entrepreneur. I got my license in Residential Real Estate. I helped homeowners in Northeast Tarrant by assisting them in selling and buying homes for 10 years. I grew my business significantly and became a multi year million dollar producer.
So why pet sitting? My husband and I were planning a road trip to Michigan. I had decided that I was going to look for another business opportunity due to a down turn in the market. Prior to leaving home, we struggled with the idea of kenneling our German Shepherd, Mika, and our pug terrier mix, Taffy. What if they caught an illness from another animal or were traumatized by a change in their environment? We reluctantly left them with a friend who had her own busy life to handle, During our trip, I discussed the possibility of starting a pet and home sitting business as my career. There was definitely a need and my background fit perfectly. I was use to managing my clients homes, and I had been a pet owner my entire adult life.
In 2008, my vision became a reality, and I started TurnKey Pet and Home Sitting. My husband, Scott was interested in supporting our family business, and he became a part time pet sitting because of his love for animals. Scott adds an element of security to the business due to the fact that he is a 20 year retired police officer for the City of Keller. He now works as a Reservist for the Aledo School District Police Department. We chose to create a balance of excellent pet care and home safety for my clients. TurnKey Pet Sitting has been exceeding customer expectations for 12 years. I take pride in my work, and enjoy providing a peace of mind for my clients.
