Why Hire a Professional Pet Sitter?
Pets and their people are a unit. What's good for one is good for the other.
At PSI, we know that. It is why we stress strong ideals, professional standards
and common-sense methods that reinforce our members with dependable know-how.
It's an approach that equips pet sitters with quality awareness, pet owners with
quality assurance and pets with quality care!
Why Pet Owners Hire Professional Pet Sitters
• Pets are happier and experience less stress at home.
• Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted.
• Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated.
• Pet's exposure to illness is minimized.
• Untrained or unwilling friends/family/neighbors need not be called.
• In-home professional pet care provides added peace of mind.
Why do professional pet sitters choose PSI? Pet Sitters International is the
world’s largest educational association for professional pet sitters. PSI
members have access to the most extensive—and helpful—slate of benefits and
affiliate programs in the industry. Because of the programs available as
benefits of membership, your pet sitter is able to offer you cutting-edge
technology and information for in-home pet care. And each of these programs has
a direct positive influence on the quality of service that you and your pets
receive from their PSI pet sitter.
Here’s what you get:
Confidence. Liability insurance and bonding policies
available to pet sitters through their PSI membership let you know that you are
dealing with a reliable, responsible business professional who cares about your
home and your property as well as your pet.
Safety. Step One Survey and Castle Branch Inc's background
screening services allow the pet-sitting business owner to screen prospective
employees. This can help to ensure that any staff sitter who comes to your home
is a legitimate, law-abiding, pet lover who shares your feelings for your family
pets.
Convenience. Telecharge allows your pet sitter to accept
payment by credit card or debit card, giving you, the pet owner, more payment
options than ever before.
Knowledge. PSI’s Accreditation Program provides a complete
pet-care education for professional pet sitters. It contains chapters to cover
each facet of the business, including Pet Care, Health & Nutrition, Added
Services and Business & Office Procedures. A PSI Accredited Pet Sitter
brings a tremendous store of additional information to the task of caring for
your pet—and that’s always a plus.
Peace of Mind. Mypetsittercam.com allows you to check on
your pets via the Internet whenever you can’t be there. This live-cam service is
available only to PSI members and it brings the ability for real-time pet
watching to absentee owners. Any time you want to, you can tune in to see your
pet. You can also observe your pet sitter at work and see for yourself the
quality care and loving interaction a professional pet sitter provides.
As a member of Pet Sitters International, your pet sitter is in a great
position to look after your pet when you can’t be there. For more information
about how these PSI member benefits can help you and your pets, ask your pet
sitter or contact PSI at (336) 983-9222, info@petsit.com.
