Disclaimer:

Omaha Pet Sitters Association (OPSA) provides a pet sitting locator service as a courtesy to the general public as well as a benefit for members. OPSA assumes no liability for any business practices of any of its' members.

OPSA does, however, require that all members be insured and adhere to the codes of ethics set out by the two national pet sitter associations, PSI and NAPPS. While we expect and encourage our members to provide excellent, caring, honest service that elevates the credibility of the pet sitting industry, OPSA has no authority or control over individual member companies. We do encourage each pet parent to carefully interview and check references of any prospective pet sitter and to make very clear to the sitter the pet parent's expectations.
