Do you love pets and dream of spending your days getting paid to play with the dogs? A pet care business may be the perfect career for you! But starting a pet sitting business is not as easy as printing some cards and offering your services.

Today pet owners demand professional and reliable service. To grow a successful pet sitting business you must offer your clients a consistent, reliable, and caring pet care service that provides for the basic needs of the pets in your care such as food, exercise, and affection.

What is involved in Pet Sitting?

Today the job of a pet sitter may take several different forms:

  • Visiting a client’s home once or several times a day to feed, water, walk
    and play with pets while clients are at work or out of town. Often pet
    sitters also perform home services such as mail collection, garbage
    disposal, and plant watering.
  • Staying in a client’s home overnight to stay with and care for the clients
    pets.
  • Visiting the client’s home to walk or exercise a dog while the client is away
    from the home during the day.
