On a regular basis, you will see social media posts offering & seeking pet care services; grooming, training, walking, sitting, etc. A few years ago, I created a Facebook group for pet parents to connect with pet care providers. People who love animals can create friendships, seek or share advice or experiences, etc. I share safety tips & funny animal memes. Entrepreneurs are welcome to advertise their offerings. Anyone who is respectful is welcome to join Central Oregon Pet Services.
Sits & Wiggles has never taken a job from the group, as the platform exists to share jobs & connections with other companies, as well as foster a community of animal loving people. This is not; nor has it ever been; a marketing opportunity. I only know a handful of the members. These members know not to recommend my business there, as the purpose is to assist others.
*** Please know that pet parents are fully responsible for vetting any care provider they consider working with. Providers have various experience, qualifications, etc. They may or may not be background checked, licensed, insured, pet CPR certified, fear free, etc. Some utilize shock, prong or choke collars. (Sits & Wiggles, LLC does NOT use or recommend shock, choke or prong collars. Some providers & pet parents do.) Some welcome cameras. Some stay overnight. Etc. Interview & vet providers to the extent that you feel safe & comfortable. For years, I have offered our community an extensive pet sitter interview guide. I offer this freely, to anyone who asks. Should you want a copy, email [email protected]. ***
Stay safe & enjoy your holidays!
