A complete & quick read on operating a pet sitting business!

I was anxious to begin my pet sitting business but apprehensive without a proper guide to the specifics of this field. After reading reviews on this and other similar books, I purchased "The Professional Pet Sitter", and the price seemed reasonable.The book is set up in an easy to read and understand manner with several illustrations. I gained valuable business information geared specifically for the pet sitter. The Mangold's take you through every step of conducting the daily business from bookkeeping, to the security of your clients information, to the love and care of pets necessary to succeed in this business. The last few pages are full size, duplicatable forms which further the success of a pet sitting business.After reading this book (in just a few hours I might add) I find the information to be priceless and I am geared up to begin my new venture.

All the help you will need!

This book put me in the right direction. The information is complete and you will find yourself going back to it time and time again to refine your business. The forms are complete and can be used as is or you can design your own. They start you in the right direction with all the good and bad things that can happen to you and how to plan your first day of pet sitting. I found it very complete and informative.

"Professional Pet Sitter" was very helpful!

I have always dreaded the bookkeeping aspects of running a business, but the forms and accounting procedures in The Professional Pet Sitter make it all so easy. It's also a pleasure to find a learning guide that has been written with a little humor; I'm actually having fun reading it! My brother spent 30 years in the banking business helping people get their new businesses started. He was very impressed when he saw how thorough and orderly I had prepared to set up my new pet sitting business. I followed the advice quite closely and appreciate the Mangolds' wise counsel and simple common sense. Their step-by-step guide helped me set up my business in less than two months. I'm now my own boss and I've never been happier!

This book is all you need

I have read The Professional Pet Sitter cover to cover and am particularly impressed with how thorough it is. I'm amazed that the book does not cost more, considering that it covers every aspect of starting and operating a pet sitting business. It even contains a Service Agreement and the required business forms, which other authors sell separately. I always have this guide with me, just to make sure I have not forgotten anything as I learn my new business. Considering content, forms and inspiration, I definitely give this two thumbs up!

Book is "Professional," but readable, too!

I wasn't sure about pet sitting when I ordered this book, but now I'm convinced this is the right field for me. I can do what I love and earn an income, too! This book did all the hard work for me ... it helped me organize and set up the basic business, decide how much to charge, and find effective ways of marketing (without paying for advertising). It also comes with all the business forms for my home office, and a sample service agreement to share with my clients.In addition to professional bookkeeping advice, the Professional Pet Sitter offers tips on how to avoid common mistakes when watching other people's homes (I wouldn't have thought to "wear" the housekeys in order to avoid locking myself out!). There is an 18-point service routine that walks you through the time you arrive to the time you leave. I'm sure I'll learn a lot as I actually begin to build my client base, but the Mangolds' book is getting me off to a wonderful, INFORMED start. I'm very, very glad I invested in this guide.
