I don't run a petsitting business nor have I ever really done any form of pet sitting. I do however would like to say that I think running one would be awesome and I would like to hear about your experiences in the future. I think it would be quite the enjoyable job and would be a lot like my job (working with children) except the 'children' you'd be watching would be furry and four legged.

hello there! i have had pet sitting business in while now and im really enjoying it. first you need lots and lots of love for the animals, then you must decide which animals you wanna take care of. like if you have experience only on cats and dogs i recommed you to take care of them. then you must choose the price. do you take hour rate, daily rate etc. i also recommed you to take insurance as you are working in other people's property.. ok, hope that could start you out. there are lots of things you need to do but those above become on my mind right now.

I don't run a pet sitting business but I did work for one briefly. I don't know that I would have much in the way of advice for you from that aspect. :-) Good luck with your business though.
