Business Description: Home-based pet sitting business that has experienced dynamic growth over the past few years (2007 experienced a 31% increase in gross revenue and nearly a doubling of SDE). This business exhibits extreme professionalism and has evolved through a strong word-of-mouth reputation. Business employs a unique “boutique” style operation –
offering the personalized attention and service of individual sitters (which are assigned to various clients) with the convenience and coverage of the
larger pet sitting companies (who often employ hourly interchangeable workers).
The business is operated using the most up-to-date pet sitting computer software (Petrax) to seamlessly process orders, maintain scheduling, coordinate with the clients and generate invoices.
Personnel: The business contracts with 2 full time and 10 part time pet sitters, keeping them all fully booked all year round. Every pet sitter is certified in pet CPR and first aid, covered by liability insurance, bonded, and has passed a criminal background check.
Potential for Growth: 1.) Advertising and Marketing. New owner could substantially increase client base by engaging in some geo-targeted online marketing and running various local print ads.
2.) Expand Mobile Bath Service.
3.) Expand Boarding Services.
4.) Add Doggie Day Care and Pet Training Services.
5.) Expand website to offer pet product through affiliate program
