Animal sitting business?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
For this I would make sure you have studied each pet a LOT before diving into this. Know that ferrets are NOTHING like rats or bunnies. As a ferret owner I would personally want to know that you have experience with my type of pet and are willing to put time into taking them out and caring for them. Provide pictures of other animals you have cared for (It is really good to see a picture of a happy pet in your care!) :).

I would HIGHLY suggest not keeping a ferret in the same room as any other small animal. Ferrets are carnivores and if for some reason a beloved hedgehog/bunny/rat got near the ferret it would be prey in an instant. Taking these precautions would insure that the pets are safe and happy.

I think this is a great thing and I wish I had someone I could trust to take care of my babies this weekend!

The best of luck to you and I hope this helped!!

Hi, i am soon going to open up a solo, pet sitting business. i will be doing everything on my own and i have a few questions and i want to have some feedback on my plan :) . I will be sitting small furry animals such as hamsters , ferrets, rabbits, mice, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have experience with many of these. my plan is for the owners do drop their pets off at my home , they should include food, and bedding, along with the cage. i would charge 4 to 7 dollars a day for my care, depending on the animal, and its needs. ( needs meaning the amount of time required out of the cage). I have one room where i would be able to place their cages, although i was wondering if it would be bad to keep all these different animals beside each other even if they have a cage.

Any suggestions? comments? feedback? tips? would be greatly appreciated ! thank you :)
