Pet sitting has become big business throughout the world with celebrities all carrying their smaller pets around with them. But none of us like leaving our pets in kennels, so set yourself up as a pet caring service for when people are away or at work for the day.
You can either house the pet with you or pop around to their home once or twice a day and feed and walk their pets. These include cats and dogs. Fish and caged birds and all manner of other pets, it's up to you where you draw the line.
Clients are also benefited by this type of service as it reassures them that someone is keeping an eye on their home. There are also agencies that you can join but you will need to provide references for these, some of which are Animal Angels, Platinum Petcare and Nina's Nannies for Pets. You could also set up your own agency and can see how it's done from the above sites.
How much to charge for your pet care varies greatly from area to area so your best bet is to ring around and see what other people are charging first. You will also need to take our insurance not only for yourself but for the pets you are caring for but it easily available online.
