Thank you for your interest in learning more about me and Mountain Pets. When you 'contact us', you are communicating directly with me as the business owner and your professional pet sitter. The short story of how I started Mountain Pets began following a rewarding 30-year career with a federal wildlife conservation agency. Animals, both domestic and wild, have been a large part of my life since childhood.
I spent a lot of time as a child exploring nature and started riding horses at the age of 7. As a young teenager, I volunteered for a few years at a large Appaloosa breeding and boarding horse farm (they also had cows and sheep). I learned to ride, feed, turn out, and breed horses, and most importantly, how to muck a stall. I've been an Appaloosa girl ever since, owning my first at age 13 and my second at age 27.
I owned both horses for their entire lives and moved them around with me across the country. At times I boarded and worked for reduced board and at times I kept them with me at my home and managed their daily care.
