New Lesbian-Owned Business Opens

 

BY CHUCK FRANKLIN I

Jamie Eisenberg had a
vision. Now that vision is a
reality. .
Eisenberg is currently oper-
ating the Gotta Go! Pet Sitting
Services in Chittenden County.
Her service provides a “stay at
home alternative” in pet care
for domestic animals.

“My aim is to give pet own-
ers and their animals security
and consistency while the own-_
ers are away from home,” says
Eisenberg.

What, makes Eisenberg’s
present business so unique is
that she was a chef for the past
21 years. She started out work-
ing in restaurants while attend-
ing the Rhode Island School of
Design in Providence, RI.

Her fine arts career made a
180-degree shift to the culinary
arts while working at Panache,
a lesbian-owned bistro, where
she eventually became execu-

“After several years, I real-
ized I should get professional

training in food service and I

attended the New England
Culinary Institute in
Montpelier,” she recalled.
That training eventually led
her to a successful nine-year
stint as a chef instructor at the

variety of curriculums for hun-
dreds of culinary students.
‘However, the thrill of the
culinary world» eventually wore
off for Eisenberg. “I decided
to seek help from a career
counselor to find my next ‘call-
ing in life,’” she said. “I never
dreamed it would to lead to my
owning my own small business
as a professional pet sitter.”
Once again she sought out
help and started the Women’s

quickly discovered that I had a
passion not only for pet care,
but also for the challenge’ of
marketing and sales.”
