If you’ve been working in the professional pet industry for any length of time, there are certain names you quickly come across.

Arden Moore is certainly one of those names!

Arden’s resume and credits read like a Who’s Who of our industry as she seemingly continues to have her hand in a variety of projects, and has worked with “everybody!”

We were fortunate enough to have Arden with us in person during our 5th annual pet care conference in Las Vegas. She was there with mic in hand to record a special episode of her wildly successful podcast, Oh Behave!, featuring five speakers.

Arden’s podcast lives on Pet Life Radio and reaches over 800,000 listeners.

What Exactly is The Josh Cary Collective [with Video]

Thank you for the overwhelming support for my new initiative, The Josh Cary Collective. In case you missed my initial post on this, see this post.

Many of you are asking “How much is it to join?” And it’s a great question that I will answer in full in my very next video.

Today, I’d like to provide you with a more detailed overview of what you are going to receive from being part of The Collective. You know, the big benefits of joining!

First, I need to make clear that this is not another pet sitting group, or another pet sitting association. Those already exist.

The Josh Cary Collective is for those in the pet industry who are ready for a safe and supportive space to become the best version of themselves as possible.

It’s for those who get the need for personal development as it directly relates to the bigger picture.

My Most Profound Moment in Our Industry [with Video]

PSO2016 Conference Attendees

As you know, we are back from our pet sitting conference that was wildly successful for a variety of reasons (both personally and professionally). Many who attended are experiencing moments of gratitude and elevation, myself included, and are embracing this experience of personal growth and development. It’s clear to see how it positively impacts EVERY part of life and business.

I’ll have plenty more to share on this topic in the coming days and with that, I’ve been working to create a community for those who appreciate this focus and are looking to grow, find meaning in your work, and gain a sense of clarity in all you do.

My vision is for a new kind of pet industry organization that we can all benefit from together. A safe and supportive place where we learn and grow “in real time” alongside each other. I hope you will join me soon. Here is the scoop:

Support and Feedback for Our Pet Sitting Industry Documentary Movie

We are making a documentary movie about the professional pet sitting industry! And by ‘we’, I do not simply mean my production team and me.

I mean WE, as in you, our colleagues, supportive pet industry professionals (including veterinarians and trainers), and the collective professional pet care industry.

Production officially began recently as we made our way to Northern Virginia for four days to capture the day-to-day operation of All Friends Pet Care and other local pet professionals. It was an incredible experience that allowed us to get the ball rolling.

We then held a live virtual production meeting detailing our plans, our goals, and the reasons we are making this movie in the first place.

RELATED: Watch the replay of our virtual production meeting on PetSittingMovie.com

On that page, pet sitters were asked to submit their thoughts.

In one day, we received over 50 submissions from pet professionals guiding our project even further.

Outlined below are snippets of some of our favorite responses.

The beauty of this pet sitting movie project, as you’ll see, is that we are all speaking the same language! We are each passionate about what we do and all see the great need at this point in time to further educate the general public on what it truly means and what it takes to be a professional pet sitter.

4 Essential Elements of an Effective Website

When I was asked to present at the 2016 NAPPS conference on the topic of SEO and how to rank higher in Google, I wanted to achieve two things.

One: I wanted to make certain that the audience had an understanding of WHY Google ranked certain websites above others.

Two: I wanted to provide specific and tangible takeaways that each person in the audience can do and implement immediately.

Those two goals were the recipe for what became my presentation titled “4 Essential Elements of an Effective Website”.
