Pet Sitters International Announces Launch of New Blog

Pet Sitters International (PSI), the world's largest educational association for professional pet sitters, announces the launch of Buzz on Pets, its new blog created for pet owners.

King NC (Vocus) December 4, 2008 -- Pet Sitters International (PSI), the world's largest educational association for professional pet sitters, announces the launch of Buzz on Pets (http://thepetsitblog.com/), its new blog created for pet owners.

Drawing from the collective experiences of PSI's members, the blog provides weekly tips, advice and information for pet owners, and topics that range from natural disaster planning to the best pet toys on the market.

Patti Moran, president of Pet Sitters International, believes PSI's emergence into the blogosphere is a natural progression of expanding the company's educational services.

"When I started the organization almost 15 years ago, I never imagined it would grow to inspire and empower so many pet lovers," said Moran. "Buzz on Pets is a way to share a unique category of information on pet topics that will no doubt benefit pets and their owners."

PSI membership has grown to more than 8,000 independent professional pet-sitting businesses with an average of 191 clients each. Collectively, these sitters service more than 1.5 million clients and deliver more than 17.4 million pet-sitting engagements per year.

For almost 15 years, PSI has been a trusted resource for professional pet sitters across the United States, Canada and abroad. Buzz on Pets now gives pet owners access to some of the same valuable resources, tools and information that were previously only available to pet-care providers.

Please visit Buzz on Pets, http://thepetsitblog.com/, for all things pets.
