That’s such a good question because you can instantly become that much more professional by using a business email address.

What is a business email address? Let’s say, for example, your website is JoshsPetSitting.com. You can create an email address like hello@joshspetsitting.com or services@, contact@ josh@ … Anything you wish @<your domain name .com>.

Creating an email address is so simple to do. If you are currently already using our PetSittingOlogy Get Found First SEO Platform for your website this is all included. There’s absolutely no additional charge and you can have unlimited business email addresses.

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!

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.
