Yes! I'd love to watch your pups if you're ever in need. I treat each dog that I watch like they are my own - they get sooo spoiled. In fact I still keep in touch with two of the owners, and visit their dogs when I can because I miss them so much!

Thank you! Very good point.
Luckily, the initial start-up isn't *terribly* expensive from what I've seen about in-home pet sitting businesses. I found this on insurance:
Pet Sitting Insurance USA Comparison Chart, Dog Walking and Pet Sitter Liability
Taxes do suck, don't they?

Lol at a math degree
I think I'd die... but I have taken lots of business classes, almost to my AA, and I would definitely love to learn more!
That would be Awesome if you opened a doggy daycare!! I couldn't decide if I would rather do that, or have in-home sitting... I picked going to peoples homes because I feel like it's what I know and less start up costs, but I think owning a doggy daycare would be awesome. Good luck! Keep me posted on you!
