You look after people's pets so the animals stay happy and safe while owners work or travel.
Four services you can offer
- Dog walks: 30 to 60 minutes, solo or a small group.
- Drop-in visits: feed, fresh water, play, litter or garden clean-up.
- Overnight sitting: stay in the owner's home while they're away.
- Day care: a dog stays with you, or you stay with it, for the day.
Who pays: people who work long hours, families going on holiday, older owners who can't walk far, and owners of puppies or anxious dogs.
A good sign: a first paid walk or visit for a neighbour within two weeks.
