The American Pet Association was founded in 1991. The goal is to provide education and services that result in more humane treatment of companion animals in the homes and back yards of the average American.
A great addition to the APA in 2010, and the pet community in whole, is their
Business and Product Approval Departments. Pet Owners asked, What products can
I trust? What businesses are going to treat my pet properly? What businesses
are reputable?
* Business Approval is designed to allow pet owners to know,
nation wide, not only which pet businesses they can trust their pets with, but
which businesses use ethical, safe and fair business practices.
* Product Approval allows pet owners to know at a glance which product is not
only safe and effective for their pets, but that they will not be wasting their
hard earned money on a product that is ineffective.

"There are more businesses and products than ever and it is hard to know
as a pet owner who to trust. With APA Approved, you know the business or
product you use is committed to a higher standard and you can use them with
confidence" - American Pet Association

rapport with the local veterinary clinics and in the communities working with
multiple animal rescues and non-profit charitable organizations by
participating in community fundraising events and donation programs.
One customer reported about Shannon’s Pet Sitting, "Shannon’s been taking
care of my cats for years. I’ve always been happy with her service, but didn’t
think much about it. This Thanksgiving however, my kitty got sick two days
before I was supposed to go away! She had to stay in the hospital for a couple
of days and would be ready to come home the day I left! I called Shannon and
she took care of everything. including my worries!! She picked Connie up
from the hospital (which was a half hour away), brought her home, made sure she
was alright, administered her medicine AND kept me updated the whole time. All
this at her busiest time of the year! Because of Shannon I was able to go home
without to much guilt, and know that my kitty was in very good hands! I
unconditionally recommend Shannon! "- Jennifer Wright
