Our Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much money can I really make as a pet sitter?
A: We hear this question a lot and the simple answer is 'it depends.' The bottom line is that there is plenty of money to be made (and being made) in the pet care industry. If you have the drive, passion and determination to better your life and become a pet sitting business owner, you can succeed. It all depends on the amount of time you're willing to put in and on your skills. Remember, we brought in over $100,000 in pet sitting services during our first year in business. The sky is the limit...
Q: Is now the right time to start a pet sitting business if we are in a recession?
When talk of a recession first began, we were a bit nervous at what might happen to our pet sitting business. Thankfully, pet owners proved that even though they may cut back on going to the movies or getting that large mocha-chino, proper pet care during their absence is still on the forefront of their minds.
Over time, the relationship and bond with our pets has grown to a never before seen strength. Our pets have truly become part of our family. This is one reason many experts have called the pet care industry 'recession proof.'
Q: How much time will I need to put in to my pet sitting business?
The PSO course is designed to be implemented on your schedule. You may choose to jump in and get the ball rolling immediately, or you may decide to take it slow while balancing other areas of your life. Your pet sitting business could thrive whether you put in just a few hours per week or choose to make this your full-time income. You can learn and build your business at the pace you are most comfortable with.
Q: When will a person require a pet sitter?
One of the reasons the pet sitting industry remains lucrative is because of the consistent need for qualified and professional pet sitters. Depending on the services you choose to offer, a client will call on you to:
- Walk her dog everyday while she's at work
- Feed her cat everyday while she's on vacation
- Sleepover at her home to care for her pets
- Board her dog or cat in your home during her absence
- Drive her pet to the vet's office or groomer
There are plenty of opportunities for you to be called upon to care for a client's animal including holidays, business trips, vacations, family emergencies, or weddings, to name a few.
