NATIONAL PET SITTERS WEEK®

Jill’s Next Door Dog Walking & Pet Services, LLC celebrated PSI’S National Pet Sitters Week® by honoring professional pet care companies and team members. We educated the public about the advantages of professional in-home pet care and encouraging pet-loving entrepreneurs to explore professional pet sitting as a career. 

We shared PSI graphics on our site detailing the vast difference between hobby sitters and professionals. We created a commercial acknowledging why the community should hire a professional, posted tips on hiring a professional, and highlighted our achievements and awards. We designed graphics for our testimonials, education, services, among others. To promote PSI’S National Pet Sitters Week®, we contacted both the Greater Delray Chambers of Commerce, and the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, and they featured us in their newsletter and social media accounts–reaching thousands of community members. 

To celebrate our clients, we created a picture collage, posting on social media and emailing our client base thanking them for their loyalty to our company. For new clients, we offered a coupon for 50% Off their first visit upon sign on. 

To thank our Strategic Alliances (vets, groomers, etc.) we dropped off small plants and our business cards to each local establishment. 

To recognize our pet advocacy efforts, we created a webpage dedicated to the animal rescues we are partnered with, complete with their contact and social media info, along with their Paypal link so that visitors can donate directly from our website. We also created a resource page for the community to refer to when they encounter community cats and kittens.

THANK YOUR PET SITTER DAY®

To thank our sitters, we celebrated PSI’S National Thank Your Sitter Day® by securing a private Escape Room challenge and rewarded our exceptional sitters with a gift certificate to a local spa.
