As part of your employee benefits package you will typically find health, dental, and eye care as well as insurance benefits for your dependents like spouses and children.

But what about pets? They are after all an important part of many people’s lives.  Depending on what source you research… At least 60% of Americans have a pet.  That breaks down to approximately 60-million dogs and 75 million cats in more than 70-million homes.

Some companies are tapping into their employees concerns about pets left home alone.

That’s where the pet sitting industry comes in. According to Pet Sitters International there are 7,600 pet sitting agencies across the country.
Services include daily visits, overnight sitting in the client’s home, boarding and daycare in the sitter’s home, private and group dog outings and pet taxiing.  Some companies are including these services in their benefits packages.
That is enabling employees to know their pet is being well cared for as they work, commute on business, work unexpected overtime, and do all the other things that keep them away from home for extended periods… Worry free.
