| ~ How Fuzzy Friends Began ~ Fuzzy Friends Pet Sitting was founded by Julie Alvarnaz in 1997 after her mother Sharon suggested that Julie begin a pet sitting service in addition to her veterinary technician job. She had seen first hand how sick both cats and dogs could become after boarding in a kennel and took her mother's advice. Today Julie provides service to many of the same clients she did her first year in business. As the years passed the demand for a pet sitter became more and more frequent and Julie decided to make pet sitting her career. Julie has continued to keep her business busy because she loves all animals and wants to keep them healthy and happy when their family cannot be home to tend to them. |
