Why Now Is The Best Time To Start A Pet Sitting Business
You might be surprised to know that right now might be the best time to start your own pet sitting business. According to a Pet Sitting Market Report, “The global pet sitting market size was valued at USD 2.6 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2020 to 2027”. Another more recent report that takes into consideration the impact of Covid-19 on the industry predicts an even stronger compound annual growth rate of 9.1%. This means that the global pet services market is forecast to more than double from $24.9 billion in 2022 to $50.1 billion in 2030. Now that is something worth noting!
In my own experience, I’ve witnessed explosive growth - year-over-year, since 2016; tripling my initial revenue which at the time of this writing, is over 500k annually. Folks - there is a huge and growing need for pet sitting and pet related services - on that is guaranteed to reward those who have a passion for animals, and the right plan for establishing and growing a successful pet sitting business. So what does this mean for you? It means there is plenty of room for you to start your own pet sitting business. In fact, the sooner you start, the better!
In order to be successful in pet sitting, or any other business for that matter, you must be willing to learn about the many tools available - some of which are game changers. When I first started my pet sitting business, many of the local pet sitting companies were leaving updates and communicating with their clients manually - in some cases, using ‘old school’ pen and pad. Looking back, it’s actually hard to believe! These days, there are a number of new and emerging technologies available - some that you may already be familiar with…and others that you may not be aware of that really made it easier to run a successful business. For example, modern, state-of-the-art client portals that utilize GPS coordinates, time-stamp technology and photographic and video access; all which exponentially increase the speed and accuracy of communication. It is no stretch of the imagination to say that we are light-years ahead of where I was, six short years ago.
If there is one thing that I wish I had at the start of my pet sitting business, it is access to a mentor - someone who I could trust that had a wealth of experience establishing, managing, and leading their own, highly successful pet sitting business. Looking back, this wold have provided me with even greater capability and success - at a much faster rate. Unlike you, I experienceed a significant period of trial and error. As pilots refer to it, I was ‘flying blind’ - without any solid advice or insight on the pet siting industry. It was tough! What I knew about the industry is what I had experienced as a client when I used local pet sitting companies for my beloved furry friends - my cats. In truth, I wasn’t thoroughly impressed with these services, and always felt there was a lot of room for growth and improvement.
Fed up with being dissatisfied, I searched for help and came across the best resource at the time - Six Figure Pet Sitting, by Kristin Morrison. I read through the book and quickly realized that like my local pet sitting services, the information provided needed some updating and-revamping as well! This was my personal catalyst. It was at this moment that I set myself on a mission to create the most professional pet sitting company that I could - and in the process, make a decent living doing it. I am extremely pleased to let you know thathaving conquered that mission, I’d now like to be the reliable resource for you - one that I always wish I had; if even for the smallest things, which require unique communications skills…if not absolute mastery. Trust me when I say the simple art of replying back to client emails is critically important to any successful pet sitting business.
