Pay
I pay $7.00 per dog walking jobs. I pay $6.00 per potty break and I pay $8.00 per pet sitting visit PLUS you get 100% of any tips. There is also the potential to make more if you refer a client to us.
Overnight Stays you get 60% of the job and as ALWAYS 100% of any tips are yours.
There are no set hours and I cannot guarantee any specific amount you will make per week nor can I guarantee any specific amount of pet sits or dog walks per week due to cancelations that might occur. It's a job that varies but once you have established a client base you will have a good income. If you are able to do mid-day walks the potential is there for you to make $600+ a month once we build up your mid-day clients, you have to be patient waiting on the calls for those that need mid-day visits.
We will both go on the consults and meet the new client or my existing client if you are taking them over. I stay very personal with my clients and like them to know me and whomever is working for me well, it's a great business relationship. At times we may have a main sitter and a back-up sitter so you both go on consults, we do this for all mid-day clients and get 2 keys.
All Pet sitting jobs will be arranged thru me, the client either emails or calls and I schedule the jobs. If the client happens to call you, you are to tell them to call me to schedule.
You are representing my name and my business, you are covered
under my liability insurance policy and dishonesty bond.
