A home based Pet sitting business could be for you. A pet sitting business and its often linked dog walking business is fuelled by the busy life style without the family and friend support of yester year. For that reason it is more likely to be found in, or near major cities.
It is a simple business to set up and there are a number of organisations and even franchises that will help you. The sixty four thousand dollar question is, does this lifestyle fit to you?
Pet sitting for some persons is a great job, for others it would be totally out of place.  A great pet sitter requires to adore animals, all animals. It is not just a requirement, it ought to be a natural love. Whether it is a cat, dog or one that some folks may fear.  Common animal issues for potential pet sitters are scorpions, spiders, lizards, snakes and reptiles. In a larger company, they may be able to handle this, but typically pet sitting is a small business with only a few people, so you will need to handle these animals as a pet sitter. Fortunately these animals require minimal care, but as a pet sitter you will still need to feed and water them. From time to time the owner may need the pet sitter to give small live animals to the pet. As well as these, other animals that cause possible problems for pet sitting include rats, “I don’t like the scaly tail”, particularly as the rats and owners love the frequent fuss and handling of the animal.
 
The requirement for pet sitters is usually normally during the major holidays of Christmas, Thanksgiving and summer holidays. There is also a demand for pet sitting at weekends throughout the year.  Due to this seasonality, pet sitting regularly includes dog walking which is often needed all year.
 
Dog walking in a good pet sitting business will limit the maximum number of dogs to four or less. First-class businesses such as London dog walking will give you clothing and rain protection. This is of shared benefit, as the free garments are free marketing, dog walking is great publicity for their pet sitting services. You will not however be allowed to wear these when pet sitting, as it will announce that the owners are away on vacation. Though one of the advantages of pet sitting with somebody entering and exiting and doing other things such as emptying the mail box, reduces the possibility of break-ins.
 
Pet sitting often requires the pet sitter to do other jobs around the house. A pet sitter will often tend the garden and house plants. Pet sitters habitually look after cats, who due to their territorial origins, hardly ever like leaving their home. Cat lovers hate the separation from their loved pets, so companies such as London cat sitting will place photos and a diary on their web site for the pet owners.
Good businesses such as London pet sitting and customers demand that a pet sitter be police checked as they are repeatedly visiting homes alone.
So still interested having read the above, the up front costs are not huge, by most business standards. A web site, cards / flyers and probably the largest cost of insurance.
 So pet sitting is a wonderful home based business for those whom it fits, give it a try!
