Pet Sitting Businesses

Pet sitting businesses involve going into someone's home and caring for a pet when the owner isn't available. Pet-sitting saves a client and the animal the aggravation of dealing with a kennel. You would be providing a variety of services: feeding, watering, litter box cleaner, pill giving, and a lot of Tender Loving Care for a lonely animal who misses its master.

Most clients will ask if you are bonded. This means that an insurance company finds you trustworthy and is willing to put this in writing. An insurance policy protects the homes you enter. If something is broken while you are there, your policy will cover it. Being bonded however does not protect against damage to pets while in your care. You should consider buying other insurance for that. Being bonded, however, is worth the expense. Clients are more likely to use your service if they know you're backed by an insurance company.

Ideas for Advertising

Word of mouth is where most of your business will come from.
Start by offering to sit for someone you work with, someone from church or maybe a friend or neighbor.
Business cards or flyers left at pet shops, vet clinics, Kennels and any other place animals may be found. Try to establish a relationship with the owners so he or she will begin to recommend you when other facilities are full. Don’t forget to place some on community bulletin boards, church bulletin boards, at the grocery store, and any other place you can think of.
Place an ad in the newspaper.
