i love walking dogs and i love dog sitting ... great way to make some extra money ... i have been doing it for more than five years now and i can no longer accept new clients as i am too busy ...

dog sitting in the best because basically you are paid to watch tv, walk and feed dogs, and i usually stay in some pretty nice places, but i do sometimes have them at my apartment (all the non-housebroken, i dog sit at their place, all the housebroken are welcome in my place :O)

a good way to figure out what to charge (the going rate where i live is 25 dollars an hour for walking) is to check the craigslist pet services section and see what others are charging ... craigslist is also how i started my business by replying to ads looking for a dog sitter ... vets usually also have cards for dog walkers and sitters and you can contact them to see their charges for your area ...
