The Dog Days of Summer Mean Travel and Pet Care are Top of Mind…
Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. (Jun. 29, 2022) – School is out, the sun is shining, 4th of July is right around the corner, and kids and adults everywhere are panting with anticipation for upcoming, warm-weather travel. With furry family members a number one priority, Helen Woodward Animal Center is delighted to announce an inspired PAWtnership with TrustedHousesitters, keeping beloved pets comfortable and safe at home while human family members set out for summertime adventure. Get ready! The dog days of summer are about to begin!
Placing pets in top-quality care when away from home has always been a major focus of Helen Woodward Animal Center. The Center’s Club Pet facility was established in 1986 to provide a loving place for pet-owners to leave pets when traveling or working long hours. Play yards, cuddle-time packages, and even a dog spa for grooming, are facility features aimed to treat pets to “a vacation away from home.”
However, as famously quoted, “there’s no place like home,” and many pets simply aren’t happy leaving the comfort of their favorite couch, lawn, and familiar dog bowl. With this in mind, Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms connected with TrustedHousesitters, a pet-sitting business that is literally taking the world by storm.
Established in 2010, TrustedHousesitters unites animal-lovers and travelers in over 130 different countries. The unique business model invites pet-people to help each other by offering unlimited pet and home care in exchange for a free place to stay. Pet owners can travel knowing their pets are being cared for by another passionate pet-lover, while sitters get to stay in unique homes around the world and enjoy the company of pets.
With impressive 5-star ratings, home and accident protection, a pet-loving community of verified referenced and reviewed sitters, and 24/7 free vet advice, the business beautifully aligns with Helen Woodward Animal Center’s mission of “people helping animals and animals helping people.” Now, as the summer travel rush begins, both companies have partnered to provide pet-owners peace of mind while helping orphan animals. TrustedHousesitters is offering a discounted standard annual membership of $150 (normally $199) with 100% of the membership price donated directly to Helen Woodward Animal Center.
“We are always touched when we discover the hearts of the people at the top of some of the most respected businesses,” explained Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms. “We are incredibly grateful to connect with a company that not only mirrors our desire to make the world a better place for animals but also wants to donate to support our mission.”
TrustedHousesitters CEO Mathew Prior responded, “We are incredibly excited to launch our partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center this year, becoming a proud ‘Trusted Pawtner’. There are millions of pets looking for their forever home, and it’s thanks to great organizations like Helen Woodward that help make this possible. Like us, pets are at the very heart of what they do. We have a shared mission to help pets everywhere live their healthiest, happiest lives – and it’s because of these shared values that I know this will be a great partnership, for many years to come.”
