Product Description

Book Description

The Professional Pet Sitter teaches, step-by-step, how to organize a pet sitting business, price, market, run it day to day and provide consistent, disciplined perfect service. Business forms are included! Husband and wife team, Lori and Scott Mangold, have been providing loving, in-home pet care since 1988. Their business was inspired by their love for animals and the desire to develop a fun, home-based business.

After seemingly endless requests that they teach others how to set up and conduct pet sitting businesses, they decided to package their experience and systems. They share their knowledge and experience completely with you in The Professional Pet Sitter.



From the Author

Pet sitting is booming because lifestyles are changing. People today are career-oriented, travel more for business and pleasure and depend increasingly on domestic services. Pets are an important part of our families and finding proper care for them can be a problem. That's where the professional pet sitter comes in! Pets stay in their own homes where they are safe and happy, travelers no longer need to worry about their pets or homes when they leave, and those who love animals can earn an income caring for them.

At the same time, more and more people are looking for income opportunities. Some have lost jobs, others seek more pleasant work, and some need to supplement their earnings. Animal lovers should consider professional pet sitting for: (1) the pleasure of caring for animals, (2) the satisfaction of running a successful business and (3) profit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book is "Professional," but readable, too!, 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I wasn't sure about pet sitting when I ordered this book, but now I'm convinced this is the right field for me. I can do what I love and earn an income, too! This book did all the hard work for me ... it helped me organize and set up the basic business, decide how much to charge, and find effective ways of marketing (without paying for advertising). It also comes with all the business forms for my home office, and a sample service agreement to share with my clients.

In addition to professional bookkeeping advice, the Professional Pet Sitter offers tips on how to avoid common mistakes when watching other people's homes (I wouldn't have thought to "wear" the housekeys in order to avoid locking myself out!). There is an 18-point service routine that walks you through the time you arrive to the time you leave. I'm sure I'll learn a lot as I actually begin to build my client base, but the Mangolds' book is getting me off to a wonderful, INFORMED start. I'm very, very glad I invested in this guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is well organized and very informative., 11 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I was impressed by the thoroughness of this book. It does not merely skim the subject as some books do but gives very detailed information about every aspect of establishing a pet-sitting business. It is definitely a 5 Star publication.
