In 2007 the Professional Dog Walkers Association International merged with the International Association of Canine Professionals. This Section has been established to enhance the services of the IACP to Dog Walkers world wide.
Members provide a wide range of pet care services, such as dogwalking, grooming, training, boarding or cat visits, or pet sitting. The association has recognized that pet care is rapidly growing in popularity throughout the world.
The Dog Walkers Division supports our members and helps prepare those coming into the industry and encourage to continue their education even after they are established. These days pet care business's are faced with lots of competition. When new dogwalking & pet care companies appear and do not have the experience or the status of a professional, this can leave the client with a negative impression and hesitant to hire a dogwalker or pet care provider due to poor quality from past experiences. This impression causes others to lose business and we may be painted with the same brush. Here at IACP, our commitment to high standards of professionalism make us different from the rest! We may be imitated but we cannot be equalled. Our members have not forgotten the reason why they got into this business in the first place - they love and wanted to work with animals!
