Hi,
My name is Larry Jensen, and I’m a Professional Pet Sitter, House Sitter and Handyman.
Prior to 2013, I owned a Real Estate Brokerage and Property Management company in New York and Connecticut, as well as a Construction company in New York and a Manufacturing business for motorcycle parts sold Internationally. I sold my businesses with a plan to set out sailing the world, but life had other plans for me.
In December of 2015, I lost my Yorkshire Terrier, Lexie, to a grueling ten month battle with Mast Cell Cancer. Lexie was my soulmate – you can read more about her here: You’re Really Gone
After losing her, I too was lost, lost and now alone. I set out on a journey to find myself by attempting to kayak from Canada to Key West, FL.
Along the way, a generous friend offered me their home in the Florida Keys to stay for as long as I needed. Paradise, right? Not for me, I couldn’t find happiness with Lexie missing from my life. Then one day my neighbor there needed to go away for a few days and I volunteered to watch her two dogs. I was looking for something to do and my love of our four legged fur balls had not diminished. I was happy to have the opportunity to interact with them.
While caring for them, it occurred to me, for the first time in a while, I was happy. I couldn’t bring myself to get another dog as you don’t get to replace Lexie, but I had a lot of love to give and I’d been training and caring for dogs of all types and sizes my whole life. I’ve rescued and rehabilitated a baby bunny as well as a Monarch Butterfly who’s wing was damaged. I began searching for others who needed pet sitting. I didn’t know it then, but that was the start of a new begining for me. With my intimate experiences in critical cancer care for Lexie, years of training experience and love of animals, I had found my next calling. That one month in the Florida Keys changed my life and gave me a new begining. By February, I was well on my way in this new journey.
