#13 - Pet Sitter
Are you passionate about animals? Maybe a pet sitter would be the perfect job for you!
Pet Sitting is the perfect money maker if you are interested in making an extra buck! Sometimes folks go on vacation, or a baby is being born..whatever it may be, they will need someone to watch their pet while they are gone. Fido can't be running free through the house, and feed or water themselves! Plus, all pets need attention, love, and caring from the pet owners.
Your competition will of course be the kennels, which is just a jail for your pets. They feed, water them, and get them out to be played for a few minutes, then its right back in the cage. This is the same argument you can use for your advertising. You will show the pet compassion, play with them along with their daily needs such as water and food. You can also beat the kennels prices, which would also make your business stand out from the rest.
Things you should know:
o Know your competition, and beat them
o Don't pet-sit too many pets. This would be unhealthy and probably against the law.
o Be sure to know of any illnesses the pet may have. You don't want to watch a pet that is about ready to die..wouldn't look good.
o Do your homework when pricing. What kind of food does this certain animal eat? How much food will you need? Any special diets?
Lots of things to consider. Do your homework! If you have done this, or are going to try it, I'd love to hear from you!
