As any pro pet sitter or dog walker will tell you, running a pet-care business is NO JOKE!

Here at PSI, we always say that pet sitting isn’t for the faint of heart🖤—and on a day that typically focuses on jokes, we want to stop and thank professional pet sitters and dog walkers for the serious work they do!

⭐For any who have ever wondered, “Is pet sitting (or dog walking) a real job?” The answer is ABSOLUTELY.✔

👉Professional pet sitters and dog walkers are small-business owners—vital contributors to their communities and local economy.

👉They have a business license (where required), pay taxes, are insured, bonded, and trained in pet care and pet first aid.

👉They work year-round to ensure pet parents can have the peace of mind offered by quality, reliable pet care when long work hours or travel keep them from their beloved pets.

⭐Being a professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business owner is more than dog walks and cat cuddles.

👉Ask any professional pet sitter who has missed holidays with their families, extended pet-sitting visits to ensure an ailing pet was comforted or felt the loss of a client’s pet passing.

👉Or better yet, ask one of the hundreds of thousands of pet parents who benefit from the services of professional pet sitters and dog walkers every year.

👉Ask the pet owner who was alerted by his professional pet sitter that his dog’s behavior was unusual and recommended an emergency vet visit—saving the dog from dying from canine bloat.

👉Ask the pet parent who was able to call her pet sitter at 2 a.m. when she learns that her mother—on the other side of the country—has been admitted to the hospital in critical condition and is able to secure pet care as she rushes to the airport.

👉Ask the family whose professional pet sitter has graciously agreed to sit with them as their 15-year-old cat with late-stage chronic renal failure has to be euthanized.

Spend a day with a pro pet sitter or dog walker and you’ll know what those of us at PSI know without question:

♥Pet sitting is no joke! It’s a career…a lifestyle…a passion.♥

THANK YOU to the pet sitters and dog walkers making the world a better place for pets and their people!

If you are giving away free kittens, with no adoption process, you are taking a HUGE risk with your kittens‼️ All you want is a “good home” for them, but here are your obstacles:

1. PEOPLE WILL LIE TO YOU. 😕
I’ve done it myself to get kittens out of a bad situation! AND it was easy, because the right questions were not being asked.

2. PEOPLE WITH BAD INTENTIONS LOOK FOR FREE KITTENS. 😭
These folks will DEFINITELY lie to you, often having someone more trusting pose as the adopter instead of themselves. Snake food, dog fighting, abuse, etc. Is this the majority? I don’t think so, but these people DO exist and it’s important to ask the right questions to potential adopters to be able to spot them.

3. YOUR KITTENS DESERVE MEDICAL CARE. 🤒
If you love your kittens, you want to be sure that they are dewormed, flea-treated, microchipped and vaccinated at the proper ages. You also want to be sure that your adopter will be able to afford to have them spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity (around 4 months of age) or be able to handle an emergency vet bill should one arise. If they can’t afford a small adoption fee, there’s a good chance they won’t be able to afford proper vet care the kitten NEEDS.

4. KITTENS MAY BE RETURNED. 🐈
As an individual, you are not accustomed to rehoming animals everyday. Take it from shelters and rescues… animals are returned for a variety of reasons. Where shelters and rescues have most likely the ability to take them back, you, as an individual, may not. This is a bad situation for the innocent kitten as no one wants it.

If you do not have your mama cat spayed ASAP and you are giving away free, unaltered kittens, you are linking yourself to the huge overpopulation crisis that shelters and rescues are working so hard against everyday. ❌ You HAVE to look at this with a different perspective… the problem is so much bigger than just you and your litter of kittens
