how do i start dog sitting?
August 112009
i am 13 and i want to dog sit. do you think i am to young. and how do i start a dog sitting business.
i have a lot of expirence with dogs and i love animals.
Well, first you need to be familiar with dogs just incase one of the dogs u sit is say a bulldog and u r terrified. So make sure you r really comfortable and familiar with every type of dog and the personality of each one.
Second is customers. Start off slow then make ur way into a big business. Wat I mean by start slow is babysit some of ur friends dogs or families you know dogs that u famillier with and u already know. Then ask ur costomers if they have someone they would reccommend u too and thats how u make ur business grow.
Third would probably be prices. You don’t want ur prices to be too much cause u don’t want to drive costomers away with ur pricey prices. Like I said start off slow like 5.00 and hour or 4.oo an hour. If they have more than one dog make it like 15.00 -20.00. Like something like that. Once ur business has grew then its up 2 u 2 change or keep the prices the same.
I hope this helped and I hope you have a succesful dog business. (Srry if I wrote 2 much)
Ps: I don’t think ur 2 old. I babysitt and I luv it!!.
PPS: Make sure to do it with a friend 2 that will make it more fun!!
One more thing make sure to advertise ur business with sparkly posters and attractive colors so more people will come check u out. (Make sure to have parents permission)

you will need experience in looking after dogs and find people you know and ask if they would like their dog to be looked after. if you dont have experience i would wait until you are a little older.

Do your parnets allow you to do dog sitting? If they do then you should do it with a friend or 2. You could put up flyers so people can see them.

I would start with dog walking, once people see that you are capable of that, they might trust you to watch their dogs for longer periods of time.

Ok, I don’t think your too young, but it might help if you have an adult or older teen to help you out. I would start by putting out signs for dog sitting with your phone number and a little bit about yourself and maybe why you are good for the job. Good Luck! ♣
