This Register is for pet owners like you to connect with pet sitters to find professional care for your pets and home.
You will gain access to an exclusive list of professional pet carers who have all attained the minimum stringent standards in order to join this Register.
Our sitters don’t just meet the Register’s essential credentials, they bring a wealth of unique experiences and specialised expertise to ensure your beloved companion gets the highest standard of care.
We are dedicated to ongoing professional growth and personal development, making this the go-to destination for finding a truly exceptional, reliable, and caring pet sitter who will treat your pets as if they were their own.
Having a sitter with a valid pet first aid certificate ensures they are fully prepared to handle unexpected situations with confidence and skill. Whether it’s tending to a minor injury, recognising early signs of illness, or knowing how to respond in an emergency, a first aidcertified sitter has the training to act swiftly and appropriately.
This provides you with invaluable peace of mind, knowing your pet is in capable hands, no matter what arises. A valid pet first aid certificate is more than just a qualification—it’s a testament to the sitter’s commitment to your pet’s health, safety. Choosing a sitter with first aid certification is a wise investment in your pet’s care and happiness.
As part of our thorough onboarding process, an identification check is carried out for every sitter joining our Register of Professional Pet Sitters. This is to ensure the safety and trustworthiness of those who will be caring for your pets and home.
I will review their online presence, including their Facebook business page, Google My Business profile and website. These details will be cross-referenced with their qualification certificates and insurance policy to verify consistency and credibility.
Additionally, each sitter will be invited to an online meeting where I can personally connect, allowing me to verify their identity so you can feel assured about the sitter’s trustworthiness before they enter your home.
Every sitter on this platform holds a verified qualification within the pet sitting industry, demonstrating their commitment to professional development and ensuring they can provide your pets with the highest standard of care. A minimum requirement, such as a pet sitting diploma, guarantees that sitters have dedicated time to mastering essential skills.
Many go above and beyond by pursuing specialised training in areas like senior pet care, pet nutrition, cat behaviour, or dog behaviour. These qualifications give you confidence that your beloved pets are in knowledgeable, capable, and caring hands.
This Register takes the stress out of finding the perfect sitter for your pet. All you need to do is browse through the list of trusted professionals and choose the one who feels like the best fit for your furry friend, whether it’s based on their personality, service area, or special expertise like caring for senior pets or easing anxiety. Your pet’s well-being is our priority, and we make it easy to find someone who truly understands their unique needs.
Experience the ultimate peace of mind with the Register.
Every sitter has been carefully vetted and verified, and their credentials are periodically reviewed to ensure they remain up to date, including essential qualifications like a valid pet first aid certificate. No matter which sitter you choose, you can trust they uphold the highest professional standards, offering your pets safe, reliable, and exceptional care every time.
I know from experience that misunderstandings can arise when pet owners and sitters have different expectations. Every pet and household are unique, and clear communication is essential for a successful pet sitting experience. To prevent confusion, I’ve introduced two clearly defined service options, ensuring you know exactly what to expect when booking a sitter.
You'll start by completing a simple registration form with details about you and your pets.
Once your profile has been approved, you’ll receive your login details so you can view the Register and browse sitter profiles.
Each profile follows the same clear format, making it easy to compare sitters and choose the right one for you.
Once you’ve found a sitter you like, you can check their availability and request a personalised quote. I’ll be here to assist with the admin side of things, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
You will gain free access to the Octopus Moon Register, a carefully curated space connecting you with experienced and fully vetted pet sitters.
This isn’t a directory filled with anyone and everyone.
It’s a space built on standards, created to help regulate an unregulated industry.
I’m passionate about raising those standards so I’m offering this access completely free for pet owners.
I want you to spend less time worrying, and more time enjoying your time away, knowing your pets and home are in safe hands.
