Hi everyone,

We don't like making these types of posts, but sometimes it is necessary.

Please, please be kind and respectful. We have recently received several messages about delayed responses, and we completely, completely understand your frustrations. As a small family-owned business, we are doing our best to serve you. Our website states our usual response times, that we do not have regular weekend or holiday office hours, and that there may be potential additional delays during peak times. Unfortunately, emergencies and incidental issues also occur. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, especially during our busiest time of the year. Publicly calling out a small family business on social media or telling others not to recommend us is not appreciated, particularly if you value our services or have not actually used our services. We ask that you reach out to us directly so we can address your concerns promptly.

Please remember that our staff are human, not superheroes. Some of our staff have other jobs and sometimes they are visiting your pets after working another overnight job. Sometimes they give a bit of extra food or clean a litterbox differently because they are doing their best to provide care and service. Our office family also has three children. We are all working hard to provide the best service possible.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding

It's National Small Business Week, and we want to send a big THANK YOU to professional pet-sitting and dog-walking business owners who provide such a valuable service and are vital parts of our communities.

While using an app to find a pet sitter or dog walker may seem like a quick, convenient way to secure pet care, Pet Sitters International encourages pet parents to seek out the services of a ⭐local, professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business.⭐

Not only does working directly with a local pet-care business help you avoid the “middleman” and put more money into your local economy (apps/third-party sites typically take a portion of your pet-care fee), you are also able to ensure you are working with a pet-care professional that has insurance customized for the care they offer and has taken advantage of continuing education to ensure they are offering quality care.

Looking for a professional pet sitter or dog walker?

Some questions to ask include:

✔Does your business have the proper business license or permit, if required by your state/city/province?
✔Do you have pet-sitter liability insurance that covers the services you provide?
✔Are you able to show proof of a recent background check?
✔Do you use a pet-sitting services agreement that will detail the services we agree to?
✔Are you a Certified Professional Pet Sitter® and/or have you taken advantage of pet-care training such as pet first aid or classes on animal behavior and safety?

Members of Pet Sitters International have access to ongoing resources and training to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pet care and business best practices.

It's a New Year!
Time for NEW starts, new lives, new beginnings, and everything NeW!!!

We have a LOT of things happening for us this year and so much to let you know about, but as time goes on, it will be revealed.
One thing we are slowly developing is not just helping the animals in our care and the ones to come, but helping those who already have animals and need some assistance with food, obtaining the proper enclosure or know how to create one without spending a small fortune at a pet store for something NOT even remotely big enough.
Moving forward, we will now be collecting any new or opened animal food that is still within the best before date, as well as c&c grids, corrugated plastic, plexiglass, and any and all materials that may be useful for creating a proper enclosure for a small animal.
If you have an item and you're not sure if it will work, just send us a message and ask. We will happily let you know if it's a yay or nay.

To those who need help with getting food or housing for their pet, please contact us. Please do not be embarrassed or shy; we are here to help and would love to assist you in keeping your beloved pets safe, happy, and fed.

Together, we can help more ❤️
