APSE aims to allow pet sitters to reach new heights by offering innovative and unique tools and resources not typically found elsewhere in the community.
What It Means To Be A Professional Pet Sitter
One of the biggest misconceptions about becoming a pet sitter today is that virtually anyone can do it.
While the fact of the matter is that anyone truly could simply call themselves a pet sitter, becoming a professional pet sitter is a whole other matter.
Whether you are a pet owner or a pet sitter (or both), chances are you have called in a favor to neighbors and family to watch your furry friend while you traveled out of town.
Sounds like a win-win, right?
But becoming more than someone who feeds and walks the dog 3 times a day requires skill, expertise, training and knowledge.
Say hello to the professional pet sitter.
With nearly 70 million homes in the United States that own a pet, the need for quality and reliable pet care is growing at a constant pace.
However, the education and public awareness of what a professional pet sitter actually does is not.
As a pet sitter, you need the proper tools and resources to build your business into a thriving, profitable and respected service within your community.
Members of the APSE confront some of the biggest challenges head-on that pet sitters face today:
Gaining Trust: How do you position yourself in a positive, professional and friendly light so your potential clients immediately feel a connection, and rush to make contact with you as their pet care provider?
Competition from Neighbors, Boarding houses, and Vets: How do you quickly and appropriately point out the benefits of hiring a professional pet sitter when pet owners are used to the status quo.
Finding New Clients: Perhaps one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is effective marketing. How do you find new clients when all the cards are seemingly stacked against you?
These are just a few of the questions we address inside to help you stay at the top of your game.
Achieving your goals and gaining success as a professional pet sitter is possible. You need to surround yourself with the proper guidance, tools and community.
This is what the APSE is all about.
