Take Your Pet To Work Week Essentials

June 14, 2023 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

No matter whether you are back in the office full time or working from home, you can participate in Take Your Pet To Work Week June 19th through 23rd.

Created in 1999 by Pet Sitters International (PSI) to highlight dog companionship and to encourage adoptions, Take Your Dog To Work Day has grown. What was once a single Friday event just for dogs has expanded to a weeklong event that includes cats.

Monday, June 19th, get out your hashtags and kitties and #takeyourcattoworkday. PSI will share their favorites photos from the submissions they receive.

For the rest of the week, head over to PSI’s Facebook and Instagram pages and get their Take Your Dog To Work Day Toolkit. You’ll get all kinds of information and tools to make bringing your pet to work a successful event.

If you need to participate virtually, ideas can be located at www.petsit.com/takeyourdog.

If you are bringing your pet into work, PSI recommends a few things to make the process work well:

  • Get permission first.
  • Keep your pet comfortable.
  • Don’t force your pet on your coworkers.
  • Have an exit strategy if your pet isn’t feeling the office.
  • Have a purpose, i.e. involve a shelter or rescue to fully realize the impact of the day.

No matter how your participate, have a good time. And feel free to post your pictures on our social media or tag us (@floofinsandco) in addition to PSI. We love seeing our friends online and in person!

Shout Out to Professional Pet Sitters March 5-11

March 7, 2023 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Finding just the right person to take care of your pet isn’t a choice any pet parent takes lightly. When you find the right pet sitter, you probably do a happy dance knowing that your floofin is in good hands. Did you know March 5th through March 11th is the week dedicated to pet sitters?

Professional Pet Sitters Week kicks off Monday, March 1st. This week was first introduced in 1995 by Pet Sitters International (PSI). This year marks the 28th annual celebration. The week is observed, according to PSI’s website  to honor

“professional pet-care providers, seeks to educate the pet-owning public about the advantages of professional in-home pet care and encourages pet-loving entrepreneurs to explore professional pet sitting as a viable career.”

How To Celebrate With Floofins & Co.

Floofins & Co. prides itself on hiring staff that are “diamonds” in the pet care staff industry. In fact, this commitment is just one of the reasons Floofins & Co. was named the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters’ 2020 Business of the Year.

You probably already know about the great services Floofins & Co. provides with their in-home pet care. But, are you looking for an opportunity to do some pet care work? You can apply to become a member of our team.

We encourage you to take part in this year’s Professional Pet Sitters Week if you already use us for your pet care needs. How?

Pop on over to our Facebook site at any time leading up to March 5th and through March 11th. Send us a message about your pet care professional. Have you wanted to say thanks? Tell us who walks or cares for your floofin with the  message you want to share. It can be long or short, serious, or funny. During the week, we’ll highlight messages about our staff. Your message of appreciation is a great way to give a shout out to someone who makes your (and your pet’s) life a little bit easier. We can’t wait to hear from you!
