If you are curious about pet sitters or even want to start your own pet sitting business, the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters is a great organization. I sat on the board for many years and hope you check it out.
The NAPPS Board of Directors is composed of pet sitters, business owners and entrepreneurs who are leaders in the at-home pet care industry. Unlike other national associations, NAPPS is the only nonprofit association run by members, for members. In this capacity, board members are responsible for helping to shape the agenda and direction of the association, providing tools and support to foster the success of members’ businesses, promoting the value of pet sitting to the public, and advocating for animal welfare. NAPPS is a national trade association dedicated to promoting in-home pet care, supporting professionals engaged in at-home pet care, promoting animal welfare, and improving and expanding the pet sitting industry. NAPPS provides valuable credibility, networking and education to help foster its member’s success.
