Our History

During our 16-year history in the U.S. and abroad, we have both pioneered the professional pet sitting industry and been a leading voice in educating the pet-owning public on the advantages of hiring a professional pet sitter.  We have also assisted many aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start a pet sitting business.
