🌍Important Industry Announcement🌍
Pet Sitters International Releases First Global Standards for Professional Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

(October 14, 2025) — Pet Sitters International (PSI), the world’s leading educational organization for professional pet sitters and dog walkers since 1994, has released the first publicly available Global Standards for Professional Pet-Sitting and Dog-Walking Businesses.

Developed from PSI’s Recommended Quality Standards for Excellence originally established for PSI members by PSI Founder and CEO Patti J. Moran and her team, the updated framework establishes baseline best practices for pet-care businesses worldwide. Moran and her team have more than 120 years of combined industry experience.

PSI’s Global Standards were reviewed by leaders in the pet care, insurance, and pet health and safety fields, along with a pet owner panel, ensuring they reflect both professional expertise and consumer expectations.

“Since its inception PSI has asked member businesses to commit to standards for excellence in pet sitting and provided them with the resources to meet those standards,” explained PSI President Beth Stultz-Hairston. “Because the pet-sitting industry is rapidly growing but still largely unregulated, we knew it was more important than ever to share our association’s professional industry standards framework with pet-care professionals and pet owners.”

🐾As a pet parent, you want the best care for your pets when you're not there. To ensure your pets receive the best care, use the services of professional pet sitters and dog walkers who prioritize continuing education.

Professional pet sitters and dog walkers who prioritize continuing education:

1️⃣Provide peace of mind.
2️⃣Keep up to date with best practices.
3️⃣Know how to respond to any situation that may occur.

📌This month marks PSI's 10th annual Pet Sitter Education Month. PSI established the month-long observance in 2016 to shine a spotlight on professional pet sitters’ commitment to continuing education and on the growing number of educational resources available to today’s professional pet sitters and dog walkers.

September is National Disaster Preparedness Month, and it's vital to make sure your pet is considered in your disaster plan! While no one is ever 100 percent ready for a disaster, a good plan can make a huge difference if it’s thorough and flexible.
Keep these tips in mind:

Understand the possibilities.
Recognize the different types of natural and man-made disasters that can occur in your area and know how to effectively plan for them.

Plan your response.
Different disasters require different courses of action. The sooner you create a disaster plan, the more time you have to prepare.

Update identification.
Make sure your pet wears current identification at all times that includes his name, rabies tag and your cell phone number since you will not be at home.

Keep your pet’s records handy.
Create a file for each pet that contains health history, vaccination dates and a recent photo. Keep the file in a safe and secure place.

Research animal-friendly places.
If a disaster forces you to evacuate, the best thing you can do to protect your pets is to evacuate them as well. Know where you can take your pet in the event of an emergency. Evacuation shelters and pet-friendly hotels outside a 60-mile radius of your home are good places to start.

Stock up on emergency supplies.
Keep extra leashes, bowls, newspapers, trash bags, cat litter, litter pans and at least a five-day supply of pet food and water on hand. Be sure you have a pet first aid kit as well.

Get a carrier.
Have a properly-sized pet carrier for each pet. Carriers should be large enough for the pet to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably.

Communicate your plan.
Make sure that the other people you rely on for your pet’s care, like your pet sitter, are privy to your specific pet-care plan in case you are away from home when a disaster strikes.

This is an important, but often overlooked aspect of a successful play session. You want to end the game with your cat feeling satisfied and content. After the game, you can offer a treat, or time the play session for right before mealtime.

This observance serves as a reminder to schedule routine veterinary visits for your cats. 😻

As a pet sitter, I always require my client(s) to provide their vet information as well as location of cat carriers in case of an emergency. I'm happy to say, I've never had to contact their vet, so far! 🙏🏻

What vet do you go to for your fur babies?
