KK's Pet Sitting History

I grew up as an animal lover.  I had a dog and fish at home, but at times I also brought home rabbits, an injured pigeon, and even two mice! I was involved in 4-H (strange for a city kid), and had been introduced to all sorts of farm animals, as well.  I loved them all.

Fast forward to adulthood... I was working in an office and totally unfulfilled, I began volunteering and fund-raising for animal charities.  Then I adopted a cat, Snickers.

Snickers was the start of my love for cats. I hadn't had much contact with cats growing up, and she taught me how absolutely wonderful they are. I started to volunteer more directly with some cat rescues. As I became more involved, I also adopted a two more cats, and rescued one from the street. Thus began Andrea For Animals, my volunteer and fundraising side.

I was laid off from my office job in the 2nd quarter of 2006, and had a trip planned to take my kids to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, in Kanab, UT.  We still went, and I started my pet sitting business upon my return. As they say, the rest is "history."
