Caring for people's pets?

Question

Pet care business?

Hi,

I have been searching for additional, part time work. It ocurred to me that looking after people's pets in their homes would be a good idea, but I just don't know HOW to do it, the logistics. I have loads of experience with my own pets, but I would like to know how to get started? Do you have to have any special license, or permit? How do you get clients?

Thanks!

You get clients through word of mouth.  Just keep doing a good job and maybe make up a flyer, advertising your skills and low costs
