K9 Campus, a division of TheK9Cafe.com intends to fill a tremendous need for Pet Care Services in their local area.

The K9 Café has been accepted for membership in Pet Sitters International (PSI), an organization of more than 5,900 professional pet sitting services throughout the United States and around the world. Founded in 1994, PSI is an educational and trade association for the rapidly growing industry of pet sitting.

Professional pet sitting is an important segment of the pet industry, offering in-home care of pets while their owners are away. Pet sitters also provide important “gate keeping” services such as taking in the mail and newspapers, which help the home retain an active, lived-in look. This is an invaluable service for travelers, vacationers, homebound individuals and other pet owners with scheduling problems. Pet sitting is an excellent alternative that is more convenient for pet owners and more comfortable for pets.

PSI offers educational programs, networking opportunities, product information, client referral and many other services to members and their 500,000 customers. PSI President Patti Moran noted, “Pet sitters are trusted caregivers. According to a 2002 State of the Industry Survey, pet owners rely on their pet sitters during vacations and business trips, for midday dog walks, puppy training, geriatric care, transportation to vet clinics and roomers and the peace of mind that comes with engaging the services of a pet-care professional.”

With membership in PSI, The K9 Café has reinforced its dedication to staying current with trends in the pet industry and maintaining awareness of what pet owners want. Tammy Smith, Founder and Owner of The K9 Café and soon to be K9 Campus Pet Care Services will launch their new service on April 3, 2004 for the Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Enola, Lemoyne and New Cumberland Areas for Pet Sitting Services.
