Pet Sitting as a Career
Is pet sitting or dog walking an actual career option? Absolutely! Pet sitting isn't just a hobby or a way to earn extra money.
The majority of PSI's membership is composed of sole proprietor businesses founded by entrepreneurial pet lovers who looked to pet sitting as a new career opportunity.
Do you have a passion for pets? Interested in a career change, a new business opportunity or a second source of income?
Many PSI members were formerly educators, business professionals, and medical and veterinary industry support personnel—people from all walks of life.
We asked our members what made them choose to become a professional pet sitter and overwhelmingly, the responses were:
• A love of animals
• The opportunity to be one’s own boss
• The desire to leave the corporate world
