Meet your instructor.
Hi, I’m your instructor John. I’ve dedicated my entire career to improving animal welfare. As a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and Shelter Supervisor, I’ve tackled numerous challenging cases and managed animal care at one of the largest shelters in New Jersey. This hands-on experience taught me just how important proper training is for pet professionals.
True professionals like us are being undermined by cheap and dangerous corporations that hire anyone with a smartphone. These businesses cut corners in the level of care, leading to a revolving door of unqualified staff and serious risks for pets, including being lost, stolen, or harmed at the hands of these freelancers. This creates a significant gap in the market—a gap where pet parents are desperately seeking a true premium option for their beloved animals.
We created this certification and course to empower genuine professionals, helping you stand out and serve this untapped market. Our course is designed not just to give you a credential, but to equip you with advanced knowledge to handle emergencies and provide the highest level of day-to-day care.
Join me in this course and gain the confidence to deliver the best care possible. The pets and clients who trust us deserve nothing less. Thankfully, discerning pet parents are beginning to expect and demand this level of care.
Check out this survey to see how pet parents are increasingly looking for high-quality, pet professionals in the sea of freelancers.
An overwhelming 82% of pet owners recently surveyed stated that having advanced credentials is the deciding factor when choosing a pet care professional—not their cost, not the quality of their website, but the presence of skills should an emergency arise with their beloved pet, and the peace of mind knowing they've hired a dedicated professional. The industry is changing, and the expectations for pet care are evolving with it. Don't be left behind. That's why we're so passionate about equipping you with the critical skills needed to stand out in this competitive field and meet these growing demands.
