At each annual Pet Sitter World Educational Conference, Pet Sitters International is committed to making a positive impact on the local pet community in our host city. 💙

This year, at in San Antonio, we were honored to be able to present a $5,000 donation to Meals on Wheels San Antonio's AniMeals program on behalf of PSI and our PSW25 attendees.

📷Pictured: Jillian Huskin, Lead Care Coordinator, Meals on Wheels San Antonio (left) and Beth Stultz-Hairston, PSI President (right).

📍AniMeals was launched in 2014 after Meals on Wheels realized that our seniors were often sharing their home-delivered meals with their pets. Many of our homebound seniors struggle to feed themselves and their animal companions. AniMeals strives to ensure that both the client and their furry companions are healthy and receiving proper nutrition from appropriate food sources.

PSI's donation was made to AniMeals to help support the valuable services they provide:

✅Pet Food Assistance
✅Veterinary Care Assistance
✅Pet Care Assistance
