What is an "Accredited Pet Sitter?"

Pet Sitters International's Accreditation Program is an in-depth educational coursework that has been tailored exclusively for pet sitters.

The curriculum includes topics on Pet Care, Health & Nutrition, Additional Services and Business & Office Procedures. The coursework was developed with input from the most knowledgeable professionals in the pet-care industry to provide the best in pet education to our members.

 

What You Get with a PSI Accredited Pet Sitter:

When you engage the services of a PSI Accredited Pet Sitter, you are also gaining access to someone with the in-depth knowledge and skills necessary for providing superior in-home pet care. 

 

This program was developed by PSI exclusively for its members. The coursework was created to promote high industry standards and provide a continuing education curriculum to keep accredited pet sitters at the forefront of modern pet-care practices.

 

The Accreditation Program is designed to provide a complete and well-rounded educational experience for a professional pet sitter. To become accredited, the pet sitter must master and exhibit a working knowledge of caring for pets of all species--from cats and dogs to reptiles, amphibians, and more. A PSI Accredited Pet Sitter also knows how to run an efficient, effective pet-sitting business model.

 

You can rest assured your pet sitter has been rigorously tested on companion animal care—and passed all tests—when you see the mark of a PSI Accredited Pet Sitter.
