For anyone who loves animals and likes to be around them, dog sitting could be the answer to finding the perfect job. The two major reasons a lot of people who are good with dogs dont start sooner are not knowing where to start and a fear of leaving the comfort of a regular weekly paycheck. For many, solving the former problem naturally alleviates the latter. The business can be started in spare time while still working a regular job. Then, once a few regular clients have jumped on board, the rest is a total pleasure.
For successful dog sitters, the job is a total pleasure, and usually not more than an extension of their regular life. Many dog sitters already have one or more of their own dogs. A dog sitter has various duties for each specific client. Some clients may only need a dog sitter for an hour or two each day. The primary duty for them is dog walking and maybe some light grooming. Other clients need a weekday dog sitter while they are working. The duties expand for these clients. Finally, some clients are going on vacation, so they need a full-time dog sitter. These clients may ask the sitter to stay in their homes rather than have the dog stay with the sitter.
Before becoming a dog sitter, it is necessary to define the business as to hours and days worked, types of jobs accepted, and where it is done. Some dog sitters work 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Part-time dog sitters take a job here and there and turn down clients that cant fit into their defined schedule.
After defining the business, it will be necessary to purchase insurance or become bonded, as is necessary by the state. Once insured and/or bonded, a space needs to be set up with bedding, toys, and an outdoor area. Several water and food dishes will be required, and it is good to have a number of differently sized leashes.
Next, it is necessary to purchase business supplies. This includes such items as pens, notepads, notebooks, and possibly some form of computer software. A lot of dog sitters like to keep track of their expenses and invoices on a computer system. They can have print out invoices as they are needed. Some dog sitters still work on a paper system. They have invoices pre-printed and fill them out by hand.
Business cards are a must for any serious home business, including being a dog sitter. The business cards dont have to be anything fancy. A nice background picture of a happy dog usually does the trick. A few lines about the service offered are also beneficial.
Unless a dog sitter is already well-connected and has a lot of friends and family who will require their service, advertising will be needed to bring in clients. Passing out business cards and posting flyers in public places is low-cost way to advertise. Putting an ad in a local paper is more expensive, but it may reach a larger audience.
For serious dog sitters, it is recommended to get a website. A basic website can be purchased quite inexpensively. Those with some web design ability will most certainly put together their own. Basic website templates are also easy to customize. A website offers an indispensable form of advertising in the modern world. For more information please Visit: www.petgigs.com
