pet sitting business

I thought the book was excellent. I loved her style, not too dry, very humorous. It was a very quick easy read, and had great ideas for starting a new business. Lots of help and references. The best book I've read on the topic. I'm brand new in the business and I based my business planning on her book. I also had the opportunity to meet the author, and she is a great person, very helpful. I highly recommend it.

Great book

This book offers excellent advice on how to profit in the pet business. Patti Moran knows the business and covers the bases well. This is a must read book if you are looking to start a home based pet sitting business. Another good book I found on the pet business is "Raising Pet Birds for Profit-The Greatest Backyard Business Ever", by James McDonald. Both businesses offer the entrepreneur who is looking for a home based business working with animals good opportunities.

Great read for newbies & experienced pet sitters!

Bought this book after pet sitting for 3 years. This is a book every pet sitter should read. I thought I "knew" it all. Even after 20 years of advertising experience, Patti's marketing advice gave me new advice that has already proven effective. This book is the bible for every pet sitter. Rita Wood, Critter's Pet & Horse Sitting
