About My Business

Trustworthy And Reliable Pet Care... While You Are Gone. Celebrating 15 Years in Business!

The Story of While You Were Gone

I graduated college in 2001 with a business degree and began a 3 year lucrative, yet unfulfilling career in retail management. After much reflection, I decided to pursue a profession that was a labor of love...working with animals.

A three month course was available in Florida for exotic animal husbandry. This training consisted of interacting with tigers, lions, chimps, bears, wolves, mountain lions, monkeys, lesser apes, lemurs, etc. I am now certified in exotic animal husbandry. This was an unforgettable time of my life.

Once I returned to New Jersey, I accepted a position at a busy animal hospital/boarding facility. Although I gained valuable knowledge and skills, it did not allow me to devote one-on-one attention to each animal, due to the vastness of the hospital/kennel.

After much soul searching, I decided to become a pet sitter and start my own business, "While You Were Gone Petsitting Service" and apply my experiences and passion in a field that I love.

I hope to meet you and the special members of your family soon...
