Certainly, this may not be the sentiment across the board, but I have spoken to pet sitters and vets alike who mentioned feeling this way. Also, I'm laying the ground work and setting the stage for my next article that deals with establishing a strong business relationship with a vet. For example, how can a pet sitter get past the bulletin board and actually have a vet mention your name when a client asks, "Do you know of any good pet sitters?" I hope this part is obvious but in this case, 'vet' can also refer to groomers, pet store employees or other appropriate business owners. In any case, good to hear you have had success in this area.

Logically it sounds reasonable, but in practice I haven't found it to be true. I've owned a pet sitting business in Seattle for 8 years and have never run into this problem. Most vets in my area have a bulletin board where anyone with a thumbtack can post some business cards or brochures. It is understood the vet is not endorsing the pet sitter. They're apparently not bothered by the competetive aspect or they wouldn't have the bulletin board. In fact, while it may cut into their boarding business, it apparently creates enough customer good will to be worth it, because these vet office bulletin boards are almost universal in my area.
