September 4-8
It’s PSI’s annual Pet-Sitter Education Month™! Visit petsit.com/education for the latest deals and resources. Also consider sending a press release to your local media highlighting your company, credentials and continuing-education efforts.
September 11-15
If you signed up to attend PSI’s Pet Sitter World Educational Conference in Winston-Salem, be sure to make any final arrangements for your trip. If you were unable to register, visit www.petsit.com/psw23 before month’s end to sign up for a recordings-only registration option.
September 18-22
This week, make a list of the educational credentials you would like to obtain, then look at your schedule and block off a time to focus on education each week. Continuing education is more manageable if you build it into your routine.
