How many of you have had pet sitters at one time or another? Pretty invaluable aren’t they?

Pet sitters should definitely be honored for the hard work they do for their communities and all the incredible pets we have at home. For that very reason, Pet Sitters International founded Professional Pet Sitters Week in 1995–and it’s being held this first week of March, 2015.
This week is dedicated to pet sitters across the country and across the world who keep a watchful eye on animals of all sorts, feed them while their owners are away or unable to care for them for one reason or another, and keep them healthy, active, and cared for.
