This course will teach you the ins and outs of starting and maintaining a successful pet sitting service. Pet sitting businesses were almost unheard of a decade ago, but today they are in every major city and most towns. Today’s pet owners treat their pets like members of the family and want them to be comfortable and happy. Unfortunately, our busy lifestyles make it difficult for many of us to be able to give our pets as much as we would want to.

Petsitting is a lucrative business since its the need of the hour for puppies with incomplete inoculations or geriatric dogs that cannot handle kennel stress apart from other dogs that would be more than happy to be in their homes while family travels. Pet sitters give pet owners the ideal solution by providing professional care and companionship for their pets during the hours they can’t be there. If you’re an animal lover, you may have considered this rewarding career path, but it isn’t for everyone. You’ll also have to have a good head for business, organization skills, dedication and the ability to handle crisis situations with calm.
