About The Pet Sitter Store

Hello, it’s Therese Kopiwoda here, owner of PetsitUSA. I’ve been in the pet sitting business since 2001. That’s when I was laid off of a dot com job and opened my pet sitting business, LucyGirl Pet Sitting in Austin, Texas. I thought I would pet sit until a “real job” came along. What I didn’t know at the time was that pet sitting was not only a “real job” but it was a hot industry to be part of! My temporary job turned into a new career and I’ve been here ever since. As it turns out, getting laid off was a real gift!

In 2003 I shifted my focus a bit and launched PetsitUSA, an online directory of professional pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog daycares. Over the years I have talked with many pet care professionals throughout the country – and throughout the world. As you can imagine, the conversations run the gamut, including the types of products people find helpful, and even essential, for their business and caring for pets. Here, on The Pet Sitter Store, you will find many of the products and services that have been recommended by other pet sitters and ones that I have used (or currently use) in my business and/or for my pets.

Thank you for visiting The Pet Sitter Store! If you’re looking for a product that’s not here, let me know and I’ll do my best to find it for you.

Wishing you all the best for you and your pets, and for success in your business!

Therese
