Below is a growing list of ideas for utilizing Earth Friendly pet sitting practices.
We'd love to have your input, so please send us an email if you'd like to share your ideas and suggestions. Thanks!

1. Use only biodegradable poo pick up bags on dog walks. You can order bags at PoopBags.com for less
than $5 per month. When at the check-out line at the grocery store, many of us opt for plastic bags because
we know we can reuse them for poo patrol, but after they serve their clean-up purpose they sit in landfills for
years. We can help to alleviate this problem by buying biodegradable poop pick up bags and by bringing our
own, reusable bag alternatives to the grocery store when we shop. This is an easy way to make a difference!

2. Recycle all of the empty dog and cat food cans that you end up with at pet sitting visits. If your clients have
a recycle bin, great! If not, bring a tote or box with you to visits so that you can take recyclables home with you
(or to a nearby facility) for recycling.

3. Purchase and use only natural, non-toxic cleaners and recycled paper towels when you have "messes" to
clean up at sits. Natural products are not harmful to the environment and are much safer for animals and humans!
Dogs and cats have very sensitive noses, mouths, and airways which are easily irritated by chemical cleaners.

4. Use only recycled paper for business forms/documents and for correspondence with your clients, or
correspond with clients via email when possible. If you have your printing done professionally, request that your
printing be done on recycled paper using soy based inks. Use laminated sheets for walk/visit reports instead of
a new sheet of paper every time and recycle any paper "trash" that you end up with at your home or office.
