“I have been on this path for the last 20 years. The owner of Amshel’s Home Pet Sitting Service approached me about buying the business. That’s when I made the decision to become a small business owner, and Panza’s Home Pet Sitting Service was born. I love what I do and I love the animals in my care.” Krista said.
