About Us
Pup started in 1994 as "People Uniting Pets", a pet-finding service. Gradually, the focus changed towards pet sitting, where pets could be kept in their home when their owners were away. Pup has grown from one original pet sitter to now having 4 wonderful crew members!
Most Pup Pet Sitters are independent contractors. They're not direct employees of Pup Pet Sitters, but are dependable, honest, and pet-loving people. All Pet Sitters are bonded and insured.
