Have you ever heard the phrase "cut the apron strings"? It’s a bit old-fashioned, but it means children growing up and no longer being dependent on their parents. While human children eventually become independent and can manage on their own, pets remain attached to their caregivers for life. That’s where our name, Apronstrings, comes from—pets always stay connected to their caregivers.

Pet ownership is a lifelong commitment, and we’re here to support that bond when you can’t be there. It’s about connection, commitment, and love. It’s about Apronstrings.

Founded in 1990 by Kim Tank, a registered veterinary technician, Apronstrings is led by a Certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International. Kim is also Fear Free Certified, a program designed to reduce pets' fear, stress, and anxiety.

Kim hired her first employee in 1996, following careful industry research. Her staff are employees, covered by bond, liability insurance, and worker’s compensation. They receive ongoing training, and all are certified in pet first aid or currently enrolled in a course.
