Pet Sitters Conference
The Texas Pet Sitters Conference for pet professionals in Texas was created by business women in the South Central Texas area who wanted to give opportunities to pet sitters who could not attend the more nationally known conferences. The “Deep in the Heart of Texas Pet Sitter Conference” continues to be affordable and jam-packed with industry professionals to speak about topics that every pet sitter can use in their daily operations.

Each Fall, the IBPSA FLOW Business Conference brings together business owners and decision-makers from the pet care industry, with services including daycare, lodging, pet sitting, grooming, training, and dog walking.
