How to be a House- and Pet-Sitter Sue Worley

HOUSE- AND PET-SITTERS How to be a House- and Pet-Sitter provides anyone looking to move into this line of work with a comprehensive guideline on how to make sure you can become a first-class sitter and therefore the person that a home-owner will want to take on, and will contact first to care for their home and precious animals. The book covers many possible scenarios - some almost beyond belief - that can and do happen to sitters and home-owners. There are also suggestions on ways that you can improve your knowledge and position as a house- and pet-sitter to ensure you are successful in what you do and to help you achieve the best and most lucrative opportunities as well as those that appeal to you the most. It covers everything from a two-hour sit to a six-plus month sit, from one tiny animal to more than twenty five plus a bed and breakfast business, as well as everything in between. This is a book that will become an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to move into this fascinating and fun line of work, work that may provide you with opportunities to live in fantastic mansions, to travel the world, to see places you never thought you could. HOME-OWNERS Not only is this book perfect for those people who would like to take up the occupation of a house- and pet-sitter, it is also a brilliant guide for those home-owners who need a sitter to care for their homes and their beloved pets while they go away for a relaxing holiday, business trip, hospital admission or any other reason they may have for being absent from their home. Finding good and reliable sitters is a minefield for home-owners who are handing over their house keys to a complete stranger, then walking away. By knowing what to look for in a sitter, by knowing where and how to find the good ones, the home-owner is reducing the not-inconsiderable risks of employing someone who may cause endless problems, loss and damage, as well as situations that may well be life-threatening to the pets.
