Why Red Dog Pet Services (RDPS)?
Did you know there is a certification process for pet Sitters? Pet Sitters International, is the world’s leading educational association for professional pet sitters. In order to earn the designation of Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS), a professional pet sitter must successfully pass the Certified Professional Pet Sitter Exam and agree to adhere to PSI’s Member Code of Conduct and Ethics.
Successfully passing the CPPS Exam indicates that an individual has demonstrated the knowledge necessary to make vital assessments on pet health and nutrition, canine and feline behavior, separation anxiety, pet loss, and more. A CPPS has also demonstrated that they are equipped, as a business owner, to make decisions on disaster planning and safety.
Pet Sitters earn this certification after successfully passing a comprehensive exam that was designed to rigorously test pet sitters on the knowledge and skills required to excel in the field of professional pet sitting. PSI’s CPPS exam is the industry’s first knowledge-based assessment created specifically for professional pet sitters. As a CPPS we are also required to complete 30 hours of Continuing Education hours in the pet care field in order to maintain our yearly certification.
