Online pet care locator
service, PetsitUSA.com, marks first anniversary in May 2004.
Austin,
TX - April 16, 2004 - PetsitUSA.com (www.petsitusa.com) is
an online directory for pet owners to locate professional pet
sitters, dog walkers, and dog daycares throughout the United States.
Rather than searching for individual company websites, or flipping
through the yellow pages, visitors to the site are able to search
by zip code for professional pet care providers that service their
immediate area.
Although professional
in-home pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog daycares have been around
for years, they are increasing in popularity as more pet owners
find out about them. They recognize them as an alternative to
traditional kenneling, healthy for their pets, convenient, and
time savers. Whether pet owners need pet care during a vacation,
potty breaks, hikes, or a place for their dog to play while they
work, these services are becoming more readily available throughout
the country. Our goal with PetsitUSA.com is to provide pet owners
with a quick and easy way to find these services.
"People
are finding what they need on the site; not just the names of
pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog daycares, but information about
the services these businesses offer as well," said Therese
Kopiwoda, owner and founder of PetsitUSA.com. "Our goal is
for PetsitUSA.com to be an overall resource for pet owners to
learn about the services and find the businesses that offer them."
To help people
learn more about pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog daycares, visitors
to PetsitUSA.com will find helpful information including a checklist
of things to consider when choosing pet care, an online newsletter,
and FAQs (frequently asked questions). The FAQs explain how the
services work, what people should expect as a consumer, and what
their pet care provider might expect from them. The intent is
to help pet owners find pet care, but also to help them make informed
choices as they look for a reliable, conscientious professional
to care for their pets.
Based in Austin,
Texas, PetsitUSA.com was launched in May 2003 by Therese Kopiwoda,
who also serves a small clientele of pet sitting customers.
