Affiliate Disclosure Policy

Last Updated: 04/03/2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At PetSittingFamily.com, we believe in complete transparency with our audience. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we use affiliate links on our website and what this means for you as a visitor or customer.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on PetSittingFamily.com are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller or service provider. These commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing free, valuable content and resources for family pet sitters and homeowners.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

Affiliate marketing is a common internet practice where websites earn commissions by promoting products or services from other companies. Here’s how it typically works:

We include special tracking links (affiliate links) to products or services we believe would be valuable to our audience
When you click on these links, a small piece of code tells the merchant that you came from our website
If you make a purchase within a specified time frame (usually 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program), we receive a small commission
The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant’s website

Our Promise to You

We want to assure our readers that:

No Additional Cost to You: Using our affiliate links never increases the cost of any product or service to you
Genuine Recommendations Only: We only recommend products and services that we personally use, have thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe would benefit our audience
Your Needs Come First: Our content and recommendations are always based first and foremost on providing value to you, not on earning commissions
