I’m the founder and owner of PetsitUSA.com, which was launched in 2003, and the owner of LucyGirl Pet Sitting here in Austin, Texas, which I began in 2001. I no longer take on new pet sitting clients but I still have some great clients and enjoy caring for their pets. I am also a Pet Tech first aid instructor and teach pet first aid classes here in Austin. You’ll find information about my classes on my website, Austin Pet First Aid. And, as a result of the pet food recall in early 2007, I started the website The Pet Food List.
In addition to managing PetsitUSA.com (and everything else!), I also do freelance work for PetHobbyist.com, write a monthly column for Austin Pets Directory, and serve as the Editorial Director for Wishbones for Pets.

I’m a past planning team member of the former CSU Pet Sitters Conference, a conference that was managed and attended by, and for, professional pet sitters throughout the country.
As you can see, I definitely keep myself busy, but I consider myself to be extremely fortunate because I actually enjoy what I do for a living! The pet sitting, web work, and artwork are flat out fun. Of course there are times when I get frustrated, and overworked, but overall I feel I’m one of the luckiest people around to be doing what I do. I’m able to spend a lot of time with my pets, care for other people’s pets from time to time, use my creativity, and get to know some pretty wonderful people all across the country.
