September is Pet Sitter Education month!
My business is a member of Pet Sitters International. PSI is an organization that helps give professional pet sitters like me the tools to help us be better business leaders. It’s my goal to provide the best care for my customers and their loved pets while they are away from home.
September is Pet-Sitter Education Month™!
For 11 years, Pet Sitters International has used this annual observance to shine a spotlight on the importance of continuing education for professional pet sitters and dog walkers—and this September, we’re sharing more education than ever!
Why? Because as our industry continues to grow and evolve, so should your knowledge.
High standards define professional pet care. Education helps us meet—and exceed—those standards.
Throughout the month, follow PSI as we share:
🐾 Practical pet-care and business tips
📚 Educational resources for pet sitters and dog walkers
💡 Quizzes, questions and opportunities to test your knowledge
⭐ Recommendations from PSI’s Global Standards
🎓 Professional-development opportunities
🎁 Free resources and special Pet-Sitter Education Month offers
…and much more!
Whether you’ve been pet sitting professionally for 20 years or are just beginning your journey, there is always something new to learn.
And pet parents, we have information for you, too! Throughout the month, we’ll share tips to help you understand why education matters—and what to look for when choosing a professional pet-care provider.
Professional pet sitters never stop learning. This month, we’re celebrating that commitment.
