*Membership is free to those who qualify as per our definition of a professional pet carer below….
Our definition of a Professional Pet Carer has:
- Current ABN / ACN
- If the Professional Pet Carer does not operate under their personal name, they have registered their business name in their state and/or territory

If you do not possess all of the above, unfortunately you are not considered a professional under our definition or guidelines. You are welcome to contact us when you have all of the above or if you would like assistance to become a professional pet carer.

Although some people may feel awkward about meeting with “competitors,” I believe each of us will benefit from working together. Networking benefits include:
- Local referrals. We can help each other with referrals and backup — and show potential customers that we have their best interests at heart even if we are unable to serve personally.
- Promotion and Advertising. Together we can educate the local Pet Parent community and other Pet Care businesses about our industry. We can also reduce costs and increase the amount of advertising we do by collaborating on joint advertising campaigns.
- Education. We can learn from each other and pass along “tricks of the trade,” which can help us reduce costs, expand staff, improve pet care and build a customer base.
- Support. No one else understands better what we do or what it takes to be a professional pet carer (sitter, dog walker, etc) than our colleagues. Just sharing experiences with someone who truly does understand can be an important resource.
