"Get a Real Pet Sitter" Audience and Comments

The "Get a Real Pet Sitter" video was created for on-line audiences via YouTube.  It is a Windows Media file and not formatted for broadcast.  A generic version will be available soon for placement on member Web sites.  The video was intended to be humorous, light-hearted and creative. 

 

PSI's goal with this video is to promote professionalism in pet sitting in a unique way that will resonate with the general public (without an exorbitant price tag that is customary for professional actors and high-quality broadcast TV). 

 

The YouTube Audience

The nature of YouTube dictates that videos not appear to be too professional.  It's important that a video has a creative "down home" look and feel so people will be compelled to watch and share. 

 

Thanks to all the members who sent in comments regarding the video. We are glad to share some of them . . .

 

“This video is awesome. It totally gets the point across! I love it! It is so right on!”

“I just saw the video. It’s so cute! I like the subject and the content. I think it's great that our association, PSI, is helping to 'condition' pet owners to leave their pets with responsible pet sitters. Let me know if you want a more detailed opinion. Have a good day!”

“I loved the video! Very funny! Unfortunately, it's very true to life. It is a great opportunity to educate the public. When you are leaving someone so important at home you need a sitter who cares so much that they have made this their chosen profession. I have been a professional pet sitter for six years and have met some of the most wonderful animals and owners. There seems to be more people in our area that are turning to professionals to safeguard their pets and homes. However there are still those stubborn few that think they can impose on their neighbors or trust a well-intentioned, but goofy, young teen down the street. Keep up the good work in spreading the word.”
