The U.S. Senate recently held a hearing about the growing pet industry—but not a single dog walker or pet sitter was invited to testify. 🤔
That’s remarkable when you consider how many families rely on in-home pet care every single day. Professional pet sitters and dog walkers support working households, care for senior and anxious pets, and help make modern pet ownership possible.
If our industry wants to be recognized, we can’t stay invisible. Advocacy starts with sharing our stories and helping decision makers understand what our businesses actually do. The pet economy includes us—and it’s time our voices were heard.
Tune in to episode 682 of Pet Sitter Confessional to learn what happened during the hearing and how it affects us!
