We know our dogs have wooferful internal clocks!

Take a walk on the wild side and follow in my shadow during the 10 day pet marathon, known as Spring Break! 🏖😻🐾

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!

So, so, true. And not in just 1 pile. Preferably as 3 different yark spots. A good alternative to carpet is rug. Or something in an absorbing fabric. Like the bedspread. 🙀😹

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Happy Betty White Day!

Today would’ve been Betty White’s 100th birthday, so in her memory and honor, we’re humbled to be participating in the : the nationwide push to donate $5+ towards an animal rescue and shelter close to your heart! Betty White’s passion for animal welfare was inspiring to so many, and she touched the lives of countless animals in need throughout her lifetime.

To make a gift to Furkids in her honor, you can donate to this fundraiser or see alternative options in the comments. Thank you for your support, and thank you, Betty White, for being a friend!🐾

Terrific Thursday’s do good, feel good snuggle, brought to you by FurKids 🐾

Right now there is a medical table our animals desperately need in order for us to successfully perform spays and neuters on busy cat surgery days, and on dogs over 55 lbs.🐱🐶

Mobile Lift Tables help lift large animals for surgery when they’re sedated or disabled and cannot walk on their own. They also create a more functional surgical suite for our vets thanks to their portable and hydraulic capabilities. 🩺

Currently, our vets are lifting and carrying our large animals on their own for surgery because we don’t have this table to do it for us, or we have to send them to external vets which places a heavier financial burden on us. This additional table would also help us speed up surgery days so our team can ultimately treat more animals in need. Can you help us raise $3,000 for a Mobile Lift Table? Our kitties, pups and vets would appreciate it tremendously! Thank you! 🧡💜
