Pet care - whether your focus is on dog walking, boarding, house sitting, cat check ins, whatever - is wonderful work, but it can be a lot, especially if you’re just getting started. Moving forward, I’m offering my expertise to those looking to get into the pet care business. I provide varying options for consultations below, and if there isn’t one that quite fits your needs you can reach out and we can figure it out together. Here is just some of the information I’m able to impart:
How to maneuver apps and web-sites such as Wag, Rover, and/or Nextdoor.com
How to build a reliable clientele base
Filing self employment taxes and handling quarterly estimated taxes
General dog walking, boarding, and house sitting care, steps, and etiquette
Do’s and Don’t’s of full time dog care
How to handle rates, self promotion, scheduling, and invoice spreadsheets
Making the jump from part time to full time pet care work
To schedule your consultation, please email jgaskpetcare@gmail.com, and we can discuss options and rates.
Email Consultations
Life is hectic, and you’re not always able to meet up in person. Plus sometimes you only have a question or two and just need a quick answer without the face-to-face. If you relate to either of those statements, this option might be best for you. Shoot me an email at jgaskpetcare@gmail.com with any questions you might have.
Payment is required at the start of the email exchange once the questions/needs are provided, and payment is subject to change depending if the conversation and questions exceed what is agreed upon at the start of the discussion. Email consultations must be paid through Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp.
