The other day at work, this older lady was asking about birds. She was very nice, and got talking although I am not the bird expert at work I truely know nothing (like my boss says I can tell you anything about cats, dogs, small animals but nothing about birds, and reptiles). She was asking about her dogs, and a skin issue. I refer to the one I petsit for, she goes you petsit?. I said yes I do regularly, and she asked for my name and number as she may need me as soon as next week.

I am glad to get a few more clients, I am still looking for an early morning job but this will help me a little bit closer to my goals.

well there you go another job lead for you and that would also give you a chance to look at the dog to see what the problem maybe instead of a random guess hope you have had a great weekend

It's true, it's easier to help with health issues if you can see it. I wish this on the side work was steady work for me, would be nice, not up and down.

That makes sense, many people do not know how to find a good pet sitter or pet walker. It is good for you and for her. I hope your moving fund is really growing.

It's very true, or who to trust as well. Seeing as where I work, and volunteering at the shelter really helps as well.

Too bad they won't let you wear a pin that says "I petsit" that might get you a lot of clients! But hey word of mouth, that's how to do it.

I know, right make something to stick out. But word of mouth, my boss does mention it to customers as well. I found a few coming in saying my boss was saying I scoop poop.
