Dog House Sitters Melbourne

The first thing we need to mention about dog house sitting is that it isn't actually a new concept. In fact, there has been a long history of dogs being left alone while their owners were away on holiday. However, things have changed now, and many homeowners prefer to leave their pets with trusted friends rather than leaving them behind.

If you're thinking about doing this yourself, then we recommend reading through our guide on how to become a dog sitter. There are lots of different aspects to consider before starting off, such as what kind of dog you would like to look after, whether you want to charge money for your services, and so forth. Once you've got everything sorted, you can start contacting local businesses and asking them if they require any additional information from you. The more details you provide, the better!

There are plenty of websites where you can advertise your services, but we suggest using sites that offer a guarantee. These guarantees ensure that you get paid regardless of whether or not your clients decide to book you. As mentioned above, we also recommend signing up to Care.com, because they pay you directly into your bank account every month. This means that you don't have to worry about collecting payments from your clients, and instead you can focus on providing quality service.

You should always make sure that you keep records of each client you work with. They may ask you to do certain tasks, such as walking the dog or feeding him/her. Make sure that you write down exactly what was asked of you, so that you know exactly what needs to be done.
