Today marks an important new chapter for Pet Sitters International.

After more than 30 years of leadership and dedication to the professional pet-sitting industry, PSI Founder Patti J. Moran has officially transitioned ownership of the association to Adam and Rachel Foster.

Founded in 1994, PSI has grown into the world’s leading educational association for professional pet sitters and dog walkers, helping raise standards across the pet-care industry while supporting thousands of business owners through education, credentials, and community.

While ownership has changed, PSI’s mission remains the same:

✔ Supporting professional pet sitters and dog walkers
✔ Raising industry standards
✔ Providing trusted education and resources
✔ Strengthening the future of professional pet care

“It’s an honor to continue the legacy that Patti created,” said Adam. “We look forward to strengthening relationships, expanding opportunities for members, and building on the association’s strong foundation.”

🚨 Pet Sitter Safety Tip:

You often enter clients’ empty homes during early morning or evening hours, so it’s important to be cautious when you arrive for pet-sitting visits (any time of the day).

🚗 If an unexpected vehicle or person is in a client’s driveway when you arrive for your visit, do not stop and get out.

☎️ Call your client to see if they expected anyone at their home. If they did not (or you can’t reach the client), contact local law enforcement (and do not go back to the home until they have arrived and determine it is safe for you to enter).

🪟 Be sure to look for any open or broken doors or window when you arrive. While your first thought will likely be to run inside and check on the pets if you see damage to the home, you should leave the premises, notify the client, and alert local law enforcement (and again, not return to the home until it has been determined it’s safe to do so).

🔐 Also remember to lock the doors of your vehicle once you exit it, and then also lock the doors of the client’s home behind you once you enter for the visit.

🐾While you are on the visit (or dog walk), always keep your keys and phone with you. This ensures you have quick access to both in the event of an emergency and also prevents you from accidentally locking yourself out of the client’s home!
