Pet Care so Revolutionized, the Pup-arozzi will Pounce! -Peter J. Burns’s New Pet Care Concept

Peter J. Burns Weekly Digest

(Maui & Malcolm, two doggies who love their walks!)

Entrepreneur Peter J. Burns III is revolutionizing the pet care industry. His biography includes initiating over 150 businesses, founding the Entrepreneurship Program for the Barrett Honors College at ASU and then Grand Canyon University, and much, much more. So he has a wealth of knowledge about how to take an idea and run with it. Or in this case, walk with some furry friends. 

This lifelong entrepreneur has many passions, from humanitarian causes in Ethiopia, to conservation of our precious ocean mammals, to the care of our smaller beloved creatures: our fur babies. Peter J. Burns III is an animal lover much like the almost 2 million households in Los Angeles County alone which own cats or dogs. 

In an area where specialty gourmet pet stores cater to the pampered pet with organic doggie and kitty treats, “pupcakes” for their special birthday and homemade vegan doggie bones, it is only fitting that our beloved pets should have access to a first-class level of service for their daily walks, hikes, playtime and grooming needs.

WHAT IS THE VETTING PROCESS?

Should we really trust a stranger with our furry friends? 

The dog walking industry has just recently launched full-swing with the advent of various dog walking apps, where owners can quickly find a dog walker and order up their service with as much ease as ordering fast food to their door. However, the vetting process for checking a person’s background and ruling out any criminal history is, upon closer look, sometimes not as thorough as one is lead to believe. 

We tested one app and our “dog walker” just put down two family members for their “references”. Those family members then answered one question in an email: “Do you recommend this person?” Other stories making the news include pet sitters on hidden camera who are distracted, inattentive and staying for half the time for which they’re getting paid. 

While the current mass dog walking industry has not been sufficiently regulated in our opinion, Peter J. Burns III has initiated a new, safer, higher-quality pet care service. His new pet care service will focus on predetermined credentials, better training and more thorough background check of your dog-walker or pet-sitter. Our pets are our babies, after all. They trust us, so we owe it to them to provide the safest service we can. 

In a recent radio interview on "Movers & Shakers" , Burns explained how there is no current industry standard in a “fragmented...hodge podge” business. (Note that this segment of the interview occurs about halfway through at 11:25.) He is working to create a “Seal of Approval” to elevate the standards for the dog walking and pet sitting industry to a level which our fur babies certainly deserve. 

Burns’s revolutionary pet care service would begin with hiring trusted, quality pet care providers for dog walking services. He then will expand to a full range of services, including:

• Pet sitting
• Pet grooming and daily care
• Pet health needs, including administering medications as directed by your veterinarian.
• Loving care, attention and playtime 

Our furry friends depend on us for love, comfort and care 24 hours a day. So when we can’t be there for them, it helps put our minds at ease to know they are in good, trusted and credentialed hands. Isn’t it time to set the standards higher? With Peter J. Burns III , the industry is about to answer that question with a resounding, “Yes.”
