Ocala, FL (PressExposure) February 19, 2010 -- Pet ownership is at its highest level yet. From goats to guinea pigs, 63 percent of American households own at least one type of pet, according to the American Pet Products Association 2009-2010 National Pet Owners Survey.
With 71.4 million households in the United States owning a pet, the pet sitting industry has a huge clientele base to offer its services to. The U.S. Department of Labor states that 96 percent of the job growth in the next five years will be in the service industry sector. Two decades of trended data show that pets play a vital role in every day lives and that family members are still providing quality care and services for them even in these trying times.
