http://dearlabby.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Dear Labby, Business Help for Pet Sitters. Sunday, March 27, 2011. When I was an animal-loving kid, it never crossed my mind that I would have a career with animals. I never went to a dog show or an obedience class until I was an adult, at least 30 years old. I had absolutely no exposure to that world. I vaguely longed to be a veterinarian but knew UC Davis was out of my financial reach. And graduate school? Careers with Dogs by Kim Campbell Thornton. My 15 minutes of fame. I’m proud to say that I ...

I was hemming and hawing about adding independent contractors, afraid to get started. His comment: “Just do it. Add one person, and get going. The rest will follow.”. To compensate for the hassle of late night and early morning pet sitting visits...

http://dearlabby.blogspot.com/2011/08/flee-fleasplease.html

Dear Labby, Business Help for Pet Sitters. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Flee, Fleas.please! Several weeks ago, golden retriever Indy arrived for his stay at my house, and within a day he was covered with fleas. I can’t think of anything much worse than fleas infesting every dog (and cat). With seven visiting dogs, my four dogs and three cats, it could take months to get rid of these pests! Then Fleabusters was invented. A fantastic product that was brushed into your carpet, it dried out the larvae and e...

Dear Labby, Business Help for Pet Sitters. Saturday, April 23, 2011. Pet sitting is fun! Jilly and Bailey wait for me to come up the stairs. The past three weeks I have cared for a kitty named, aptly, Sweet Pea. She is the kind of client we all dream about when we decide to go into the pet sitting business. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the stress and responsibility, I forget how nice it is to spend time with the animals, and just enjoy them for who they are. Links to this post.

http://dearlabby.blogspot.com/2011/10/tips-for-dog-walkers.html

Dear Labby, Business Help for Pet Sitters. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Tips for dog walkers. My friend Judy laughed when I asked her to pose for photos that show how to hold a leash. “How simple is that? Who needs a photo? 8221; Well, maybe nobody, but just in case…. First, stick your hand through the loop at the end of the leash. I want to add here that leather leashes are much softer and don’t burn your hands when a dog pulls. My recent trip to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Annual conference her...
