Professional Pet Sitters Week™

First introduced by Pet Sitters International (PSI) in 1995, Professional Pet Sitters Week™ takes place annually the first full week of March.  

This annual observance honors professional pet-care providers, seeks to educate the pet-owning public about the advantages of professional in-home pet care and encourages pet-loving entrepreneurs to explore professional pet sitting as a viable career. 

PSI's 2024 Professional Pet Sitters Week, March 3-9, will mark the 30th annual celebration!

Thank Your Pet Sitter Day (created by PSI in 2023) is now also celebrated the Wednesday during each Professional Pet Sitters Week. Learn more about Thank Your Pet Sitter Day here
