Important Information for Pet Parents 📣

Small Business Saturday® is this weekend—and while you may be planning to visit your favorite boutiques, cafés, and local shops, there’s one small business you may be overlooking:

👉 Your local professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business.

With so many apps offering quick matches, it can be tempting to book pet care with a tap. But for something as important as your pet’s safety and wellbeing, LOCAL, PROFESSIONAL CARE matters.

Why Choose a Local Professional?
✔️ Keeps more money in your community (no third-party app taking a cut)
✔️ Personalized, consistent care from someone you know and trust
✔️ Proper insurance and business practices for true peace of mind
✔️ Ongoing education and training to provide the best care possible

Questions to Ask Any Pet Sitter or Dog Walker
⭐Before hiring, be sure to ask:
• Do you have the required business license/permits?
• Are you insured for the services you provide?
• Can you show proof of a recent background check?
• Do you use a detailed pet-sitting services agreement?
• Have you completed pet-care training (e.g., pet first aid, behavior, safety)?

📚 PSI members have access to ongoing training, resources, and education to stay current on pet-care and business best practices.

So important! If you’re honest and what you have described is not something we can handle, that is to your benefit! This way you can find someone who has the experience and is comfortable with your pet’s situation/condition.

Pet parents, please be honest!

✍️If you are using the services of a professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business, your pet-care provider will complete a pet profile sheet for your pet(s) to ensure they have a complete picture of your pet’s behavior and health.

This ensures they can provide top-notch care but also helps keep your pet—and the pet sitter—safe.

📍So it’s important to be honest. If your pet has any physical conditions or issues, has ever bitten or scratched anyone, or has had difficulties with past pet-care providers, share this information with your pet sitter. Withholding information can put both your pet and the pet sitter at risk.

We know you want the best care for your pet—and that can only happen if you are honest about your pet’s health and behavior and transparent about any concerns.

🌍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.

Read the full release here.⬇️
https://www.petsit.com/pet-sitters-international-releases-first-global-pet-sitting-standards

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.”

National Black Dog Day is celebrated annually on October 1st to raise awareness for the challenges black dogs face in shelters and to encourage their adoption. The day highlights "Black Dog Syndrome," a phenomenon where black dogs are overlooked for adoption due to misconceptions, cultural biases, and their appearance in photos, leading to longer stays in shelters and higher euthanasia rates. People can celebrate by adopting a black dog, sharing their stories on social media, and donating to or volunteering at animal shelters.
