There is a lack of diversity in the pet care field, especially in leadership and client-facing roles. It's especially noticeable in content that is created to market pet professionals, methodologies, products, and pet parent groups. As a member of various pet care groups for dog walking and petsitting, I've seen how membership and communications tend to be only centered on yt folk, and other ethnic groups are very rarely presented or even accepted as professionally on the same level.
It's this unequal and lack of supportive spaces that led me to create a Facebook group for Black, Brown, Indigenous, AAPI, and other global majority folk who tend to be excluded in these spaces. This is my contribution to create a DEI pet professional space.
