Big fan of ziplocs when travelingAa

Hi Doug. Can you make a video on how to charge for overnight boarding. I charge like a hotel, but some clients want to pick up their pets in the evening on the last night. Do I just divide my total cost per night by 24 hrs and add that amount to each hour after their drop-off time the 1st day? Thanks Doug great videos!

Thank you

Thank you so much 🙏

Very useful and to the point, thanks! 🇬🇧

I love my new 'job'. I love my new life!

Thank you Doug

If you were to get into an accident and something to happen to the dogs, isn’t it your insurance that would be liable? If so, why would you not require them to be in a crate? It’s your liability that’s on the line. I’m only asking at a pure curiosity. I’m a dog breeder, and my husband is in professional liability.

Welcome back!

Hi Doug! When you’re staying in a hotel, I’m sure it’s pet friendly, but do you ever have issues if the dogs settling in new places? And do the car rental places provide seat covers for you knowing you’re transporting dogs? Was curious if you’ve ever had to pay a cleaning fee or extra pet fees transport with a rental. Also, what brand seat belt harness are you using?

Happy New Year!🎉🎉🎉 You are such a helpful angel. Thank you I appreciate your videos, and you! Hello from the Philippines. I hope to have a Petsitting business too.❤

thank u! you helped me a lot filing this!

Im interested in learning how to establish new prices when marketing to new clients while charging current ones

Aw just looked up the Memory Flame candles. Makes me cry! Beautiful.

Ha!

Why thank you 😊

More gov overreach. They lose trillions, protect Epstein friends, etc but harass small biz owners with this BS! ps it’s on hold! pss LLCs have still yet to be tested in courts and most attorneys can destroy any protection you think you have! Plus criminal is diff from civil!

I agree with Doug. Stay on the positive Side ✌🏼✌🏼. And as Eric Idle Said in his song: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Whistles).

What method/process or app do you use to obtain payment up front? Thank you!

So helpful! thank you a ton for making this video!!!!!!

Is there such a thing as a team based profit sharing pet sitting biz model?

Time To Pet is so annoying. I activated my account last month and I intend to use it now but I can’t even add scheduling. It’s like I’m locked. I can’t have access to anything I would not recommend this app. Customer service also sucks.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is so wonderful. Thanks a million for your content, Doug. You aren't just out there promoting your own stuff only; you also are drawing attention to other great professionals and resources with similar or relevant niches in a genuine way, not just marketing stuff that pays you to do so. That seems really collaboration-based instead of competition-based. It's kind and actually builds more trust. Sounds like you all help promote eachother and learn from eachother.😊

Can I hire someone else as a co-manager to help with the scheduling and invoicing?

I did a raise and one of my clients who is a millionaire said she can’t afford it . I was like whattttt .

Thank you so much Doug the Dog Guy for your help. Your easy to follow, step by step instructions most definitely relieved some stress. New subscriber here! Now let me see if you have anything on change of address before I submit my form.😟

Have you thought about expanding into pet products/supplies?

I have been seeing things that this has been stayed by a federal court and not needed to be done right now

Thank you for your giving spirit in sharing informations 🙏🏻

Your tips are a lifesaver, thanks a ton.

Doug, this was so incredibly helpful. Rather than pay someone else, id much rather pay you for all the wonderful videos you post. Extremely helpful and informative. Where is your superchat button 🌈

Hey doug, when it comes to the ideal client, would you consider it Prudence or tacky to put a blurb about the ideal client on one's website. For example I have my mission statement on my website. Would it be glib of me to say that" my ideal client is one who has already invested in their dogs health, well-being and training and is looking to invest in equality sitter like myself"?

Good advice! Hire on an “as needed” basis. But we also need to understand if they aren’t always available. I got it! That’s why you have several! Thanks so much!! You have no idea how much this solves a lot of my problems! Hugs!

I had a 'bad client' yesterday.. Not to be a snob, but I could tell from the meet and greet that the situation was not going to be idea. Bad neighborhood and bad setup for pet care. No control over the door whatsover. Told me one of the other dogs in the houshold was known to bite (not to be serviced, but a family member's dog). There were other things in the household that made me feel uncomfortable. When I showed up,the pet parent wasn't home (they lived with a family member) I was greeted by someone who did not look pleased to me. The 'aggressive dog' that I met during the meet and greet was let outside to roam freely and ended up walking with us the entire walk, walking thorughout people's yards and even pooping in one yard. Someone walking thorugh the neighbhoroood asked if that dog was mine and if it bit. I told them the dog did bite, but was not with me. The dog walk was difficult because the dog was not leash trained and had no focus whatsover, even when I tried to direct and redirect with treats. First time I can say I was actually stressed during a walk. Its the day after the walk and have yet to be paid through the invoice that bounced back to me. I typically charge pet sits upfront, but dog walks afterward. Not sure if I"lll get paid, but these are the red flags I've found. Shortly after the walk, I told the client I was not a good match for them.

Just watched this again. Thank you, Doug!

very insightful. I listened to this on my roadtrip yesterday and I'm coming back to say thanks for the ride-along.

Thank you 🙏 ❤

Doug. You are simply the best.

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful. Appreciate you!

Wish I saw this before I paid someone to do my first LLC but I did do my 2nd business on my own following your steps. Thank you for your time sir !😊 I just paid you by watching all your ads and clicking on them.

Yes, and...I wonder if those businesses would think, "If I refer this pet sit biz to my clients...what's in it for me?" Offer them a little money for each person they refer, as if tgey are an in-person affiliate?

I am saving this one, downloading it, putting it in a special playlist for biz tips, AND taking notes (this and 2 other of your vids). I am really learning so much. I'm stopping the video at 9:09 as you are talking about brand psychology, and the advice hit me like a ton of bricks. My pet sitting name is catsdogsharmony, and as you can see, my logo is bright and cheerful(I think its fun and welcoming), but not necessarily 'harmonious'. And it is probably childish, now that I think about it. I think you mentioned something about a zen vibe and how more natural colors represent that. I think I need to rebrand both my logo, my personal appearance, and my website to attract the right client for me. How can I expect to attract middle age working or retired clients(such as myself) when my brand looks like a highschooler made it, and probably is the main operator? God bless you for sharing this valuable information with us and allowing us to grow and be better.

7:18 omigersh! So cute. My favorite part of pet sits is the dog walking aspects. I would have said playing with the dogs, but amazingly I come across a lot of dogs that don't have toys or don't play with toys. And so the only interaction I get with them is out and about on our walls. But when I do get a dog that is obsessed about their toys it is definitely a joy to see them enjoy themselves in play time

I do have a trusted house sitters account and have not been diligent about looking for house sits. I definitely need to be more intentional about how I'm going to get my dream clients. I live in Fort Worth but there are areas in Dallas and Southlake and similar areas where I think I could possibly get my dream client if I was to do some house sitting there. Thank you for reminding me about that. I paid for the subscription and haven't even been using it. I've been so focused on finding local clients, none of which seem to be interested in my services where I need to be expanding my horizons to those who are willing to pay
