How To Open & Operate a Financially Successful Pet Sitting Business: With Companion CD-ROM
I received this book and it was very informative and helpful. I will implement some of the suggestions in my new petsitting business.
Rating: 5 / 5
If you want to work with animals and get paid for it, this is the book for you. Not only does it show you how to set up a viable business it also shows you how to keep it running and make it grow at the same time. Overall, I liked the writing of the book. It was light-hearted and easy to understand. I also liked how the book gets you in the right frame of mind to start a new business. Not only would it be useful for those who are just starting out in the business of pet sitting, but it would be very useful for someone looking for new ideas for their already formed business.
The book is well written and not many bad things can be pointed out, but I would say that it goes a little overboard with the details that state the obvious which most people would make out for themselves. Saying this, sometimes the simplest thing can slip a person’s mind and it doesn’t cause harm to have it included in the book.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone wanting to set up their own pet sitting business.
Rating: 4 / 5
The author covers all of the basic information that one would need to consider before venturing out into a pet sitting business. The book is clearly written and easy to understand. It offers suggestions and guidelines pertinent to the pet sitting business with plenty of information to ponder. The book includes information on how to market your business, manage clients and office procedures.
The author provides information not only on caring for domestic animals, but also includes exotic and farm animals as well. She also brings to your attention other ways in which you can expand your business such as by making and having available for sale, homemade doggie treats; recipes included.
I would give this book a 4-star rating because it has some good, solid, basic information, but it lacks topical passion.
