Blonde Dog Pet Sitting
Hi! My name is Tracy Bennett. I am the owner/pet sitter of Blonde Dog Pet Sitting. The best way to tell my story is to start at the beginning. In 1996, while working at a veterinarian's clinic, I was asked to pet-sit a client's black lab. I took the job and thought nothing of it until I was referred to another client. Then more referrals followed. Before I knew it, I had more than just a few regular clients. In the summer of 1997, I walked into our break room and found a magazine that had been left open to an article entitled "Pet Sitting for Profit" by Patti Moran (founder of Pet Sitters International). I made contact with PSI and discovered their annual convention that year was in Las Vegas, which is where my parents were living. A definite win/win situation. After the convention, filled with a lot more knowledge, I knew I had found my calling. In December of that same year, I left the safety of my vet clinic job and stepped out on my own as the owner of Precious Paws.
