As early as age 1 to the present (now having unbirthdays and going backwards), I have shared my life with many wonderful pets, some of which you may not think of as typical pets, but pets that needed to be cared for.  Please read on. . . . . .

The Welsh Terrier in the picture to the left is Nova, a proven champion who has been with me since she was 4.   I also have a picture of Nova and me (somewhat earlier pic) on my contact page.  She's my best furry buddy and a smart, mischievous Welsh Terrier.  Nova hunts for critters and once found a box turtle in her backyard.  The turtle was relocated to a nearby stream and turtle-crawled off smiling, I'm sure.  Nova hunts for the squirrels too that she can't quite catch, however the other day, she came really close.  Lizards are easier prey.

Some of my best pet buddies or the "BPB" list include a rooster named George who begged food from neighbors backdoors.  My menagerie has included dogs, horses, cats, cows, parakeets, a bull and a pig.  Tropical fish and my friend, Amy's bearded dragons also made the "BPB" list.

In Omaha, Nebraska, several years back before migrating to Georgia, my son kept a 7ft. Burmese python, an iguana, two ferrets, two hamsters, a cat and a Cayman alligator in his room.  We were known as "Henry Doorly West" (as in the world famous Henry Doorly Zoo on Omaha's east side, known for its pioneering work with breeding of endangered species).  I learned not to pet an alligator because they are lightning quick and those teeth - yikes!!!

I also cared for a pet squirrel named Mo who was not to be caged and loved to jump on your shoulder.  What a surprise when you least expect it especially when he would chew his way out of his plastic cage.

When I am not pet sitting for clients, I care for my husband, Ted (No. 1 on my list), two dogs, Holy Nova and Brownie, the brown hound of sound and two horses, Sadieblu and Sugar. We all have a great time especially Nova when she  goes for a walk with her best buddy, Mom and her new dad, Ted unless Brownie comes along too.

 I would love to care for your pets when you need a reliable, experienced, bonded and insured, professional pet sitter.  If you reside outside my territory of the cities of Dacula, Auburn, Buford or Lawrenceville, in Gwinnett County, Georgia and are looking for a bonded and insured pet sitter in your area, go  to Georgiapetsitters.com and type in your zip code.

Thanks for visiting and hope to hear from you soon, Lindy
