Guide to Pet Sitting Business For Beginners Florence J Martin

Do you love pets? Are you looking for a small business opportunity? With the pet industry growing rapidly, starting a pet business can be very profitable. More and more people are willing to put their money where their hearts are. Maybe you could be one of them?
"Pet sitting" is defined as "the act of caring for a pet in its own home while the owner is away." Dog walking is also a form of pet sitting since it involves coming to the pet's home to provide exercise and companionship.
While some pet sitters and dog walkers offer additional services, such as limited in-home boarding (less than 30 percent offer this service, according to PSI's 2020 State of the Industry Survey), these are separate services, and not considered "pet sitting."
Caring for pets in the clients' homes is what separates pet sitters from boarders or doggie daycares.
