PetsNPatients NFP is asking pet sitters around the USA to join our mission and get listed with our website. When you donate pet care to our organization your direct intervention to assist a patient in your area you may help prevent a beloved pet from being re homed in already over crowded rescues or being euthanized by a patient's caregiver. Helping a patient's companion pet now with interim respite care, may prevent a re-homing or early death of a pet.
