Question:
A few months ago, you recommended pet owners hire a pet sitter to come into their homes as an alternative for boarding in a kennel. You recommended that people go to Craigslist.org to find a pet sitter. There's actually a much easier way to find safe, trustworthy and affordable care for pets and homes.
I've been a pet sitter for about five years. I am insured and bonded through Business Insurers of the Carolinas, sponsored by Pet Sitters International. PSI has many members all over the United States, all of whom are caring responsible pet lovers that work to provide the best possible care for peoples' pets. To find a professional, insured and bonded pet sitter, simply go to www.petsit.com, type in your ZIP code, and find all the pet sitters in your area that are currently members of PSI. Patti Moran is president of PSI, and you can contact her or her staff at PSI, 201 E. King St., King, NC 27021; phone: (336) 983-9222; fax: 336 983-5266; or e-mail info@petsit.com. I hope you'll pass on this important information to your readers. Having a professional, insured and bonded pet sitter coming into your home to take care of your precious pets is a great option.

Answer:
Thanks for this helpful information. Some pet sitters have dubious credentials, even using relatives as references and having no insurance coverage. I urge active, animal-loving retirees to get a new lease on life, provide a valuable community service, and generate extra income by becoming insured and bonded pet sitters.
