My husband and I love to travel. Since we both own our own businesses though we both need to bring our laptops with us and hate having to unpack everything to get through security. Security at the Albany International Airport usually goes rather smoothly but if you’re there at a peak time it can potentially […]

Pet Sitter Product Review: WeatherTech Floor Mats
Pet Sitters spend a lot more time in their vehicles than the average person. When we are busy, we almost live out of our vehicles. Imagine spending your day getting in and out of your vehicle every 20-30 minutes. During peak times we have been known to eat our meals in our cars which tends to […]
Have I Mentioned How Awesome My Team Is?
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time you may (or may not) have noticed a bit of radio silence recently. I had the pleasure of going on vacation and spending a week in Daytona Beach in February (photo is sunrise from our balcony). Of course the week while I was away […]

We just returned from a week in Key West. We were fortunate enough to go there last year as well. It’s one of our favorite places. This was my fifth time going. We will only stay at Key West Bed and Breakfast and can’t recommend it highly enough if you’re ever interested in visiting Key West.

Vacations are great, but when you’re a business owner – especially a pet sitting business owner, a vacation isn’t a ‘real’ vacation in the true sense of the word. Yes, I can get away. I have a fantastic staff who does a great job of holding down the fort while we’re gone but I still […]
Preparing For Your Pet Sitter
Hubby and I recently went to Vermont for a couple of days to celebrate our Anniversary. Having three cats; two which require medications, two dogs; one which requires medication and eleven chickens; four which are separated from the rest of the flock because they are teenagers, preparing to go away is quite a lot of […]
Meet The New Pet Sitting Mobile!
In a previous post I discussed “Should you be concerned if your pet sitter advertises on their vehicle“? The feedback was quite positive so I took the plunge and would like to introduce you to the newest addition to the Purrfect Pet Sitting family!

Happy Birthday To Us! 98 In Dog Years!
It just boggles my mind that FOURTEEN years ago today Purrfect Pet Sitting was born! This business has grown beyond my wildest imagination in the past fourteen years. I have gone from a sole proprietor, doing everything by myself while still working a full time job, to having a staff of four fantastic pet sitters.
