Now is a great time to start a dog walking or pet sitting business. It's the perfect time to start any kind of home business, for that matter. With so many people losing their jobs, wouldn't it be better to be self-employed? The pet industry is growing and will continue to grow. People treat their pets like children and members of the family. That's because pets really have become members of the family! A pet business could include anything from veterinary care, dog grooming, a dog walking service, dog daycare, pet sitting, pet massage, pet stores, dog food bakeries and so much more. The options are endless. Here are just five of the many reasons to start a pet related business: 1. There are low start-up costs involved. So many businesses, including franchises, require so much money to get started that it prevents a lot of potentially successful people from even getting started. But a pet business such as an in home pet sitting business or dog walking business can cost virtually nothing. Most pet businesses can be run right out of the business owner's home. That means less money spent on renting office space and more take home pay! Costs to start a business will include costs for building a web site, business cards and other marketing materials such as fliers and a logo. Other costs will include things like dog leashes, pick up bags, kennels, gas money, advertising and insurance. 2. It's possible to keep a second job while starting a pet business. Services such as pet sitting and dog walking are needed at all hours of the day and night. This makes it possible to work one job during certain hours and do the other job during other hours. 3. Get paid to do something fun like hang out with animals! Starting a pet related business is like starting a whole new life for some people because they are actually happy for once! There are tons of resources out there for tips on how to start a dog walking business or for starting a dog grooming business. 4. There is money to be made! Whoever says otherwise is wrong and in denial because he or she is unhappy with is or her own job. There are always people out there who need pet sitting or people who do not have time to groom their dogs, walk their dogs or train their dogs. The pet industry is booming, and it's one of the few that continues to grow every year. People are not going to stop spending money on their pets. Look at all the crazy stuff we buy for them - organic treats, plush beds, spa treatments, Halloween costumes, Christmas stockings! 5. Always have happy clients. Dogs and cats love people. There's nothing like having happy customers all day long, complete with a woof and a tail wag. Dogs love whoever brings them treats, takes them for walks and spends quality time with them.
