Tips for Choosing the Perfect Name
There are so many great options out there, it can be hard to choose! To make it a bit easier, try utilizing the following tips:
- Pet types: If you only board dogs, or if you’re totally fur-friendly, make it clear in your name what kinds of animals you are equipped to handle.
- Rhymes: Rhymes are catchy when used in a business name, so use this concept to your advantage and try out a rhyme or two.
- In-home vs. out-of-home: Will you be watching animals in your home, in a separate building, or doing multiple daily visits to your client’s homes? This is a good thing to convey in your name.
- Professionalism: People are looking for a business that they can entrust the lives of their furbabies to, so make sure your name sounds professional and appealing to your local market!
Choose a name that tells your clients how much FUN their pets will have while they're with you!
How to Start a Pet Sitting Business
Many people run their pet sitting business out of their homes without issues. You can choose to do this, or you can decide to operate something that's more like a daycare center.
Secure the Right Business Permits
First, you will want to secure the appropriate business permits. While the requirements may differ from area to area, you are generally required to register your business with your state’s Division of Corporations, and again with the county and/or city to meet more local requirements, mainly for tax purposes.
Select a Location
Once you have your licenses for business, determine where you would like to have the business, seeking a building to rent, if applicable. Renting a building may add more to your overhead expenses, but it allows more room to board more animals, thus making more money. Try to choose a spot with a nearby dog park, or somewhere that you will have access to a lot for walking the dogs.
Get Ready to Market Your Business!
Location is set? Great! the rest of the harder work will be getting the word out about your business and building a good reputation, ultimately leading to a well-established customer base. Advertise! That’s a big one, especially for a new business. Reach out to people by way of free social networks such as Facebook. Don’t skip over placing ads in your local newspapers and on Craigslist. Post flyers where your potential client base will be: dog parks, pet beaches, veterinary offices, etc.
