2008-12-30 19:35:01 - Nationally syndicated Animal Radio® will be broadcasting live from the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) annual conference at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. The two-hour AM-FM-XM Satellite Radio broadcast will focus on careers with animals, pet sitting in particular.

Trenton Pearce was living the life of a Wall Street floor trader before he traded it in to work with the animals. Now his pet sitting business makes six-figures. He's not alone. Hundreds of recently unemployed, or those that just want to give up the rat race for furrier riches, are exploring the world of pet sitting at the NAPPS conference January 16-18.

'With over a half-million people being laid-off and unemployment at astonishing levels - now is the perfect time to discover a career instead of another job! This radio show will reach out to anyone who's ever thought of working with animals,' says Animal Radio® Executive Producer Judy Francis.

'NAPPS has brought together great experts and years of experience so

that changing your work-path won't be so scary - we'll share it with you' says Animal Radio® VP Programming Hal Abrams.

Hear this special Animal Radio® broadcast on XM Satellite Radio ch. 158 (America's Talk) Saturday January 24th at noon EST and again Sunday at 5pm EST, or on any of the 90+ AM/FM radio affiliates, including KOST 103.5 Los Angeles. See more listening options at AnimalRadio.com
