Many people stumble across their calling in life at unexpected moments, but for Charlotte Reed, a professional pet sitter in Manhattan, the circumstances were stranger than most. Returning home one evening from her job as a securities lawyer on Wall Street, Reed opened her front door to hear the thump, thump, thump of techno music booming from her bedroom. When she walked, into the room, Reed was stunned to find her male dog walker dancing in front of the mirror, wearing one of her dresses. Her two cocker spaniels, Katie and Kidder, sat on her bed, watching.
After getting over her shock, which was made worse when she learned that this man had also been wearing her makeup and underwear on a regular basis, Reed had a revelation. In a city such as New York, filled with thousands of busy professionals such as herself, there must be a demand for reliable, responsible people to take care of pets.
Soon after, Reed left her job and in 1996 launched Two Dogs & A Goat, Inc., a pet sitting and dog walking business that has since mushroomed into a successful enterprise employing 30 independent contractors who cater to the needs of a diverse clientele. "We have socialites, corporate executives, lawyers, doctors, and also the discriminating waitress," says Reed. Her charges include dogs, cats, birds, other small animals and even fish.
Traditionally, most pet owners turned to friends and neighbors to watch their animals when needed, or dropped them off at kennels and veterinary clinics. But for many people, tired of imposing on their friends or wracked by guilt after leaving their pets behind at a kennel, in-home care is the perfect solution.
Pet-sitting services allow animals to stay in their own familiar environment and receive food, exercise and attention with minimal upset to their normal routines. Trained as bird dogs, Augustine’s canines regularly travel with him on hunting vacations, but when they’re at home in the city, they get walked four times a day-twice by him and twice by a dog walker. "A tired dog is a good dog. They never get into any trouble when they’re exercised," says Augustine. The extra walks also help keep the dogs in shape and give Augustine peace of mind. "If at certain times we’re working late or traveling, ( the dog walker) will do everything-- feed them, walk them, take them to the vet, pick them up from the vet." [br] Charlotte Reed’s new company _________.
