About Us: Pet-Sitting-and-Dog-Walking
Our Journey Begins (2012)
Pet-Sitting-and-Dog-Walking was founded in 2012 with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a comprehensive online resource for pet owners seeking reliable pet care services. We recognized the growing demand for professional and compassionate pet sitting and dog walking, especially as our urban landscapes became busier and more fast-paced.
Our story started as a personal passion project by two animal lovers, Sarah and Alex, who noticed a distinct gap in accurate and easily accessible information about local pet care providers. They decided to build a website that would not only connect owners with trustworthy pet sitters but also educate them on the importance of proper pet care.
