Tom Patterson, who prefers to say he is “mature” rather than give his actual age, opened up his business, Like My Own Pet Sitting, in October. Patterson says the relationships he builds with clients — and their pets — are fulfilling in every way.
He started the business he worked at the Georgia Department of Labor and decided the fit was, well, not good.
“It was everything you think a state job is … not healthy,” Patterson says with a laugh.
