What is an "Accredited Pet Sitter?"

PSI's Accreditation Program is an in-depth educational coursework that has been tailored exclusively for pet sitters. The curriculum includes topics on Pet Care, Health & Nutrition, Additional Services and Business & Office Procedures. The coursework was developed with input from the most knowledgeable professionals in the pet-care industry.

What You Get with a PSI Accredited Pet Sitter:

When you engage the services of a PSI Accredited Pet Sitter, you are also gaining the in-depth knowledge and skills she or he has mastered about caring for companion animals of all kinds. This program was developed by PSI exclusively for its members. The coursework was designed to promote high industry standards and provide a continuing education curriculum to keep accredited pet sitters at the forefront of modern pet-care practices. The Accreditation Program is designed to provide a complete and well-rounded educational experience for a professional pet sitter. To become accredited, the pet sitter must master and exhibit a working knowledge of caring for pets of all species and know how to run an efficient, effective business model.
