This September, the association is celebrating the fourth-annual observance by offering special discounts on online courses for pet sitters and launching an updated training subscription.

KING, N.C. (August 30, 2019) — This September marks the fourth annual Pet-Sitter Education Month™, and creator Pet Sitters International (PSI) will be observing this celebration of pet-sitter education by offering special discounts for pet sitters and launching an updated online training subscription service.

PSI, the world’s leading educational association for professional pet sitters, created Pet-Sitter Education Month to shine a spotlight on professional pet sitters’ commitment to continuing education and on the growing number of educational resources available to today’s professional pet sitters and dog walkers.

“For 25 years now, PSI has been providing pet sitters and dog walkers with the educational tools and resources they need to succeed,” said PSI Founder and President Patti J. Moran. “While the misperception still exists of pet sitting as simply a side hustle or a way to earn extra cash, we find that PSI’s pet-sitting members are full-time pet-sitting professionals and more and more are pursuing professional credentials and taking advantage of industry-specific trainings such as online courses and PETSIT PRO subscriptions.”

During the month, PSI is offering a 25 percent discount (with promo code: PSEM19) on its online courses available at www.petsit.com/shop. In addition to its popular Professional Pet Sitting as a Career online certificate course, PSI offers Disaster Planning for Professional Pet Sitters and Customer Service Skills for Professional Pet Sitters, as well as courses on dog care, cat care, health and sanitation, and more.

The association has also announced the launch of its updated online education subscription service, PETSIT PRO. Available to both PSI members and the public, PSI’s online learning subscription offers professional pet-sitting and dog-walking business owners a simple solution for continuing education. Monthly subscribers will now receive access to an online learning library with 70+ videos on pet-care and business topics, new live webinars each month led by industry experts, and access to a private Facebook group for the community to ask questions and share advice. In celebration of Pet-Sitter Education Month, PSI is offering a discounted subscription price (no coupon required) through Sept. 30. Learn more at www.petsit.com/pro.

In March, PSI celebrated its 25^th anniversary. PSI was founded in 1994 by Moran, author of Pet Sitting for Profit, and PSI’s website, www.petsit.com, is the top online educational resource available to those in the industry.

“After more than two decades of providing members with easy-to-access educational tools to improve their businesses and the services they provide, PSI remains committed to our motto of ‘Pet-sitting excellence through education,’” Moran added.

To assist professional pet sitters in taking advantage of educational opportunities in the industry, PSI’s Pet-Sitter Education Month section on petsit.com includes links to pet-sitter webinars, ebooks, downloads and other resources.
