Running a service of dog walking and vacation pet visits is not easy. You should add any special circumstances, services, and concerns to your business plan. You are also able to determine the going rate for these services in your area. Among the ways to do this: Ask friends if they have ever engaged someone for this sort of job and the price they paid. You could also ask what they think such services are worth. Call the local animal shelter or veterinarian and ask whether they know of others doing this sort of work; they may even offer suggestions on the price of services they don’t perform.
Draw up a simple agreement that lays out the services you propose to provide, the responsibilities you are willing to accept and those for which you do not accept liability, a price schedule, and the terms for payment. This may not fully stand up in court, but at least you will have something in writing that covers any verbal agreement you make with a client. Start spreading the news. Put up posters and flyers on apartment building bulletin boards, in supermarkets, and near parks and other areas where owners exercise their pets. Ask your friends and neighbors. Ask animal shelters or veterinarians to put a notice in their waiting room. Some pet stores will also allow you to put up a small poster. Purchase a small ad in a neighborhood newspaper; the best place to buy an ad is in a publication that has similar ads.
