Have you ever wondered if you’d be a good dog sitter or pet minder? Are you hesitant because you think you might not have what it takes? Well, we’ve put together a list that will make you a top dog sitter in no time!
1. Get Researching – It’s good to be familiar with the different breeds of dogs, this will help you choose which breeds are right for you to mind. Not only will you impress friends and family with your knowledge but learning about breeds can help to avoid dog fights, especially if you decide to mind more than one dog at a time.
2. Start small – Keep in mind that dog sitting is like babysitting, once you get the hang of it, it is super easy. If you haven’t owned or minded a dog in the past, start easy with toy breeds and lap dogs.
3. Get Exposed – The internet is a powerful tool, it will get you exposed to a large number of people if you’re doing it right. Also don’t forget the power of word of mouth, referrals are a great way to build your base of clients.
4. No-No’s – Not all foods we eat are good for your pooch, what we think could be a treat might actually make your dog really sick. Do some research and create a list for your own reference.
5. Clean up – Make it a safe home for the pooch, less clutter means less accidents.
6. Aim for the stars! – Build your reputation as a brilliant dog sitter. Getting a high rating (or in our case the maximum five dog bones) will definitely attract more clients!
