For House Sitters and Pet Caregivers
Become a house or pet sitter that carries out charity work.
As a home or pet sitter you’re traveling to new places and experiencing an adventure in the unknown. These new places hold new foods, unique shops, unexplored parks and other wonders. You can mix in a little bit of charity work for a lasting impact for good on an area.
The Pet Endowment Trust (PET) created this sister site, Charity Pet Sitters to provide an incentive to house and pet sitters. It invites sitters to look at their assignments for areas they could offer charitable works and possibly receive a charitable contribution tax credit equal to about **25% of your expenses back from the IRS. For non-PET organizations you'll need to request tax credits from them for your involvement. Be sure to keep records and receipts to back up your filing.

What's In It For The PET
What’s In It For Us
The Charity Pet Sitter is a sister website of the Pet Endowment Trust (PET). The PET mission is to promote the message of “Remember Your Pets When Making A Will”. Helping pets not becoming abandoned or left homeless when the unexpected happens to a pet owner. Its this message the PET needs help getting to the public and we need volunteers.
Travelers or sitters can easily share this message with Veterinarians when in a new city. It takes 10 minutes tops. When you help promote this message to veterinarians you start to hear the same stories of family pets being brought in to be put down or just dropped off. Pet planning is an easy way for pet owners to make arrangement for their pets should the unexpended happen. It’s a message every veterinarian we’ve meet says is needed. Veterinarians don’t want to put down unwanted pets or spend time trying to rehome pets. Shelters don’t have room to take in older pets that have a hard time finding a new home. Volunteers that promote the PET message brings ongoing and lasting acts for good to a community.
