The countdown is ON! 🚀 registration opens this Friday!

All week long we’re sharing sneak peeks of confirmed sessions and speakers—so you can start planning the conference experience you won’t want to miss.

✍️ Session Spotlight
From Scratches to Safety: OSHA Tools for Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers
In this innovative session, Beth Pasek—pet-care business owner, Certified Cat Trainer, and former Environmental Health & Safety manager—shows you how OSHA principles (think recordable vs. reportable, hazard recognition, stop-work authority) can be applied to real-world sitter risks like cat bites, slips and falls, and chemical exposures.

You’ll walk away with a practical safety toolkit packed with:
✔️ easy-to-use checklists
✔️ an SDS starter list
✔️ an incident-log template
…all designed to help reduce risk, downtime, and liability.

💌A Note of Gratitude from PSI💌
As we celebrate this season of gratitude, we want to pause and say something simple, but important: THANK YOU.
✔️Thank you for choosing professionalism in a world filled with shortcuts.
✔️Thank you for showing up for pets—and for their people—every single day.
✔️Thank you for being part of a community that believes in raising the bar for our industry.

➡️Your commitment to professionalism—and to the standards that uplift our entire industry—deeply inspires us. Watching so many of you embrace and champion PSI’s recently announced Global Standards has been a powerful reminder of what’s possible when dedicated professionals come together with a shared purpose.

➡️As a professional pet-sitting business owner, you show up every day with compassion, integrity, and a deep love for the pets entrusted to your care. You keep pets healthy, safe, and enriched. You comfort anxious pet parents. You make people’s lives easier and provide peace of mind. And you don’t always get the recognition you deserve.

➡️Thank you for everything you do to make the world better for pets and the people who love them. The impact you make each day reaches far beyond the homes you visit.

As we reflect on this past year and look ahead to 2026, we are truly grateful to walk beside you. PSI exists because of members like you—and for members like you.

➡️Thank you for trusting us to support your journey, provide guidance, and celebrate your wins along the way.

✍️We are incredibly thankful to be part of your story, and we look forward to supporting you—every step of the way—in the year ahead.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Have you ever heard PSI Founder and CEO Patti Moran share the “3Ps” of pet sitting?

While there’s no magic skill set or secret formula for success, she has found that those who excel in the pet-sitting industry possess these 3️⃣qualities:

🖤PASSION: Loving pets is, obviously, a requirement for professional pet sitters; you’ve got to have a passion for enriching pets’ lives to succeed in this industry. You’ll also need a passion for helping pet parents as well, since you can’t overlook your human clients. They will look to you for advice and support for all things pet related.

💪PERSISTENCE: Working with pets is the fun part of pet sitting but owning and operating your own business takes work. The most successful pet sitters are persistent—often putting in long hours to establish their pet-sitting businesses and build up clientele.

🎓PROFESSIONALISM: This quality is most often the one that separates the success stories from the failures in the pet-sitting industry. A love for pets and hard work go a long way, but without a strong business foundation—insurance, legal contracts, etc.—pet sitters put themselves in jeopardy of financial risk and business failure. Professionalism sets pet sitters apart from the hobbyists—and determines their longevity in the industry.
