When you use a local team of pet sitters and dog walkers like us, you know you’re getting a true pet professional who has been highly trained and vetted, and you’re supporting a local business. Our friends from Tallahassee Lassie Pet Care - Dog Walking & Pet Sitting did a great job explaining the differences between the big pet sitting apps and businesses like ours in this article!

The rise of national pet care platforms like Rover and Wag! has undoubtedly changed how Americans care for their pets.

We are proud to be true professionals. You can see more about what sets us apart from the big box platforms in the reels we’ve posted here previously, or by heading to our website! Please reach out if you ever have any questions about us or our services, we’d love to chat with you!

Over the weekend, we saw a comparison chart posted by a dog-walking app that indicated that “local walkers” did not offer the same features as their platform.

While we cannot speak to providers listed on this app or others, PSI can tell you that we work with thousands of local professional dog walkers and pet sitters committed to providing the highest quality pet care and excellent customer service.

👀If you’re a pet parent seeking the best care for your pets, look for a locally owned professional pet-sitting or dog-walking service.

A professional pet sitter and/or dog walker:
🐾Operates a registered business
🐾Carries liability insurance (designed for pet-care businesses)
🐾Provides proof of background check
🐾Uses written contracts
🐾Invests in continuing education
🐾Has emergency protocols

In fact, professional providers can deliver more consistent, relationship-based care than app-based options, where experience and training can vary widely.

Many local, professional pet sitters and dog walkers also offer:
✔ Photo and video updates
✔ GPS tracking & route reports
✔ Online booking & payment options

🐾 doesn’t just apply to retail stores and restaurants. Contact your local professional pet sitter or dog walker to learn how they can improve your pet’s care…and simplify your life!
