How do I start a good money making dog walking/pet sitting business? -

On 11-16-09 a boy came to a one of my mom s friend s house saying he had just started a new dog walking/ pet sitting Business and he asked if we had pets, and we said yes, we have 2 cats, and he said that he was dog walking/pet sitting for 2 dollars an hour. Then he asked if he could see the cats, and i showed him one of the cats,and he got to meet them and he told us about his plans.and my mom s friend said, yeah i ll call you if i need you! and that gave me the idea to do it too. I tried to dog walk once, but no one needed help, and i didn t go to houses to tell people what i was doing. So please! tell me what I can do to kill the competition. I am 11 and i can t do it in the same streets hes doing it!

If you live in a development try walking people s dogs in another subdivision. Ride your bike to the other subdivision. Avoid making eye contact with him or he will ask you what your doing. If you do just say I am getting groceries in the supermarket. If you don t have a supermarket say I am going to a friends house. Try to get your mom involved with your plan. I bet she ll be happy about your buisness and try to help. Hope this helped. BYE!!

well obviously none of the other answers are helping so since your young it may be hard to start one. i would start with family and close neighbors. Then maybe the word will spread and you can take care of them. Yoour still in school so make that your main priority.Just think of prices and any features you want. Such as getting their mail or newespapers or giving the dog a bath. You can research other buisinesses online for prices and other info. goodluck!

go onwww.craigslist.comits basically a website that you post stuff on like volunteering or something else.anyway go on there and put your a good dog walker/pet sitter and u charge so much an hourand trust me people will call u !!

Hello, I definitely have something that will really help you on how you can turn your hobby for walking dogs and sitting pets into a million dollar industry. You simply have to turn your hobby/leisure or business into an information product that people can purchase online for a fee to learn about it. If your Information product costs USD$30 (thirty U.S dollars), and you re able to sell a thousand copies (1000), you will make a cool $30,000. (thirty thousand dollars). And, you can also recruit people (affiliates) online that can help you with the sales, you simply pay them a commission on each sale, before you know it, you are rolling in millions of dollars.

This one is from 101 of my business plans.Rent - a - pet shop. For some strange reasons people do wish to hang around with fancy pets to impress friends but they simply don t have time to raise one. Now if you have pets in your immediate neighborhood or with friends, ask them to lend you and you simply walk the pet around few corners away or in parks. Don t charge these initial customers. Idea is to show off your walking / caring skills to your potential future customers who live few blocks away. Walk them when they are mostly outside so they can watch you. If you see any owner walking around, join him. Pretend that you have many customers (different pets) and people will start trusting you with their pets!! It is not the $$$ you charge but the trust that will get your business moving.To start with, charge newly found customers $2/hr and tell them you can feed them for free if owner has no objection. Most owners will object but that s the point here. Also, make some catchy ad. printouts and paste them near houses that have pets.
