Who I am and why I am here:

My name is Lesley Pulsipher and I am from Salt Lake City, Utah.  I love being outdoors and in the sun hiking, biking, camping, eating, walking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, traveling, and recently, gardening.  Creatures of all kinds inspire and heal me; they carry a sense of innocence and authenticity that is refreshing and safe.  I am here to make the difference for animals as they have made the difference for me in my life.  This site is far more than a promotion of, and blogging about my house and pet sitting services.  I want to create a world in which people are raised to a keener sense of awareness, sensitivity, and vulnerability because of their relationship with animals.

The title "Homeward Bound" is to represent two aspects of my commitment: first, to ensure the that pets stay in the safety and comfort of their own homes with a house sitter (me!) rather than in a boarding facility when left alone (I've seen too much trauma there; see my "About" section for more details).  And second, to find lifelong and amazing homes for all homeless and/or abused animals that are facing possible euthanasia in shelters.  To achieve this, I am committed to developing an organization that rescues domestic animals that are on death row from shelters.  This is where the story begins, here on this grassroots blog page, to document and articulate my journey and hopefully inspire others.  Welcome. :)
