Dody BushDog Walking Service

I know that this may not be a business most people would think of but dog walking, pet sitting, house care for homes during vacations, etc... is a good business. Just look at this price list from the Pet Nanny website. Imagine having just one or two regular 3 times a week clients. That might be enough to make a living right? However, as you can see they offer much more than just pet sitting. They offer play, food, cleaning, and even medication administration! My first thought is people pay others to play with their pets? How do I sign on?
Apparently a lot of people agree with wanting this as a profession. At Pet Sitters International there are many people who do this for a living. Take a look and see how many pet sitters are in your area. Members of PSI also get special rates for bonding and the correct insurance for the pet sitting business. Which makes it's annual $140 price tag seem a little more justified. Currently in my area there are no pet sitters registered at Pet Sitters International.
Where would you advertise? Besides Pet Sitters International you can advertise on Care.com
which is a website devoted to service personnel such as pet sitters, tutors, housekeepers, and nannies. Help to Hireis another great place to post your pet sitting business for advertisements. Another really great place would be Craigslist.
How much can you expect to make? Anywhere from 7 dollars an hour to 40 dollars an hour. Remember you are in control! It's your business. Most pet sitters make at least 10 dollars an hour, which is much better than minimum wage, especially when you are doing what you love!
