So, what makes someone a professional pet sitter or dog walker?
✅A professional treats pet care as a real business.
✅That means being insured, using contracts, following industry best practices, and committing to ongoing education.
👉Hobbyists or casual sitters—like a neighbor or friend who occasionally watches pets or someone who just posts a profile on a pet-sitting app—may not have these standards in place.
✅The difference? Professional sitters are focused on reliability, safety, and offering top-notch service that pet parents can count on.
