Oregon Pet Sitters Association

It was a dog gone good time! Oregon Pet Sitters Association participates in The 2004 Bark in the Park, which is now a part of Portland's Rose Festival. People arrived to walk their dogs to help sheltered animals, and enjoyed other activities such as contests, games and visiting booth of pet services and products.

Our association was there to hand out industry information and to be there to answer questions. This event was fun!

Schroeder also had a booth at this event, he came to let dogs know about his great dog daycare in Hillsboro. We were glad he stopped by to say hello.

Okay so it is obvious we like a dog in uniform!

Oregon Pet Sitters Association participated at The 17th Annual Doggie Dash 2004 at Portland's Waterfront Park, on Saturday May 15th. The event caters entirely to dogs and their owners and is held to benefit Oregon Humane Society. The K103 Doggie Dash includes a two-mile run and walk, dog contests and activities, and the Barking Lot. The Barking Lot provides dog lovers with an opportunity to see the latest products and services available for their pets.

Oregon Pet Sitters Association makes great efforts to let pet owners know about the services Oregon's pet sitting industry has to offer.

The Doggie Dash was a lot of fun even though the weather was not what we had hoped for. Our flyers were stuffed in dash participant's bags and our booth was a popular attraction. We answered LOTS of questions about pet sitting, and we handed out almost three hundred business cards through our doggie treat gift baggies.

The most commonly asked question at our booth was "What does a professional pet sitter do exactly?" Oregon Pet Sitters Association hopes to increase public awareness of our industry by using opportunites like this to answer questions about pet sitting.

Oregon Pet Sitters Association would like to give our thanks to Jennifer for all of her help in preparing our printed materials and also for taking the time to come help us at the booth on Saturday.
