About Us: Pet Sitting & Dog Walking
Our Journey
Founded in 2017, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking (PSDW) was born out of a passion for connecting pet owners with reliable and caring professionals who understand the unique needs of furry friends. Our story began as a personal quest to find trustworthy pet sitters when our own four-legged family members needed care while we were away. The challenges we faced inspired us to create a platform that would fill an important gap in the online pet care community.
Over the years, PSDW has grown from a simple idea into a trusted news and resources hub for all things related to pet sitting and dog walking. We’ve celebrated numerous milestones, including:
- Launching our website and initial database of vetted pet care providers (2017)
- Expanding our reach to cover major cities worldwide (2019)
- Achieving over 500,000 users on our platform (2021)
- Introducing our community forums for peer support (2022)
Our Purpose and Mission
Our mission is to ensure that every pet owner can access reliable, safe, and professional pet care services with just a few clicks. We strive to bridge the gap between pet owners and trusted pet sitters/dog walkers by providing an extensive database of vetted professionals worldwide.
Purpose: To simplify the process of finding and booking quality pet care services, fostering a community that prioritizes animal welfare, and promoting peace of mind for pet owners.
Core Values:
- Unbiased Information: We believe in presenting factual, non-biased data and reviews to help users make informed decisions.
- Accuracy: Our team verifies every listing to maintain the highest standards of quality and safety.
- Reliability: We ensure that our providers are thoroughly vetted, insured, and committed to adhering to industry best practices.
- Community: PSDW is more than just a website; it’s a community dedicated to supporting each other through shared experiences and knowledge.
Filling the Online Pet Care Gap
The internet has revolutionized how we connect and access services, yet there was a significant void when it came to finding reliable pet care providers online. Many existing platforms lacked thorough vetting processes or focused primarily on boarding facilities and not the personalized care many pets require. PSDW aims to fill this gap by offering:
- A comprehensive search tool for users to find sitters/walkers based on location, services offered, and pet preferences.
- Detailed profiles of each provider, including qualifications, experience, and customer testimonials.
- An easy booking system that allows users to secure reliable care in just a few minutes.
Our Commitment to Quality
At PSDW, we take great pride in our rigorous screening process, which includes:
- Verifying identification and insurance for all listed professionals.
- Conducting background checks to ensure the safety and well-being of pets in their care.
- Encouraging ongoing education to keep up with industry trends and best practices.
- Regularly updating listings to reflect changes in availability or qualifications.

Our Business Model
PSDW operates on a commission-based model. We partner with local pet care professionals worldwide, allowing them to list their services on our platform. When a user books a service through PSDW, we facilitate the transaction and collect a small percentage as our fee. This model ensures that providers are incentivized to maintain high standards while keeping our users’ best interests at heart.
We believe in fostering long-term relationships with both our users and providers, continuously improving our platform based on user feedback, and adapting to the evolving needs of the pet care industry.
