If you love pets and are looking for a way to make some extra money, start offering pet services!
Follow these steps carefully:
1. Get licensed
You can't be a pet service professional without the proper training and licensing. Check with your local government to see what's required in your area.
2. Find a niche
What are you good at? What do you love? Are you great at training animals? Do you want to work with all kinds of pets, or only dogs? Start by figuring out what kind of animal you want to work with, and then drill down even further: do you want to train them, take care of them while their owners are away, or something else?
3. Set up shop
You can either work out of your home or get your own commercial space. If you're just starting out, it may be best to stick to just one or two clients at a time until you've built up your business; this way, you won't need as much space (or money). Once you've got some experience under your belt, you'll know better how much space to rent based on the number and size of animals you expect to serve.
4. Create an online presence and marketing plan
Now that everything is set up, it's time to start getting the word out that your services are available! Set up social
