More good news!  I am pleased to announce that I have expanded my services into the Lawton, Paw Paw and Mattawan areas with the addition of a new pet sitter.  Veronica Stillson found me on the internet and also has turned into a pet sitter just like me.  A short bio penned by Veronica follows:   "I have two dogs, indoor cats, house rabbits, a rat, a hedgehog and fish. I also breed chinchillas, so have I experience with adult chins and their kits.  I have truly enjoyed farm sitting for a friend who has a horse, a miniature pony, donkeys, goats, rabbits and barn cats. Spending time with animals brings me great happiness. " So, with the addition of Veronica to our "team" we can now offer farm and exotic services as well!
