HOW TO BE A PET SITTER

For the past 7 months I've been pet sitting, and the thought of setting up my business was daunting, and I wish there had been a video talking me through how to start - so i thought i'd make this video for anyone that is thinking of becoming a pet sitter! 🐶🐱

    Thank you so much for making this video. I have been doing petsitting now for 10years and I still learnt a few tips & tricks of what to do next for my business. It is very reassuring to hear the points you mentioned, as I follow them aswell and over the years i see which work best for my business and others that needs more time or amendments. What is DBS, (is it like a background check to see if you have a criminal record?) PS. Great job with the editing and transistion. It keeps the viewer (me) engaged the whole way through.

    It's so so so hard to get an animal-related job! I totally feel your frustration! I've used Cat in a Flat for a while, and found it to be pretty good... it's not completely reliable, but I get at least one sitting a month or so. I'd really love to set up my own pet-sitting business when I have a more permanent house, so thanks for making this video! it's really useful!!!

    Sorry to break your heart or if this sounds mean but its not all abt having fun with them. It takes alot of responsibility to take care of pets. Especially if they’re dogs or cats and not a small animal. If you already dealed with a dog it might be fun but it depends.

    just going to say since you were wanting an animal related job before starting your business, its all about contacts. you can do as much volunteering and classes as you want, but if the place you are applying to has no idea who you are, they wont trust you enough to consider you. animal related jobs are so competitive that a good chunk of applicants start working for their dream job as early as possible, even as young as 12-13. you shouldn't feel bad about not being considered, if you didn't make it it just wasn't meant to be. :)

    Hello, unfortunately not on the same scale as most pet sitters. I’m not sure about Australia but I’m most cases you need to be 16 to get insurance and to do it safely to ensure that you and the animals you’re caring for are covered if anything goes wrong. You may have to stick to just pet sitting for friends and family until you’re old enough to get insurance ☺️
