Hello Animal Lovers! Want to work with dogs?  Love lounging with cats? Interested in the inner workings of Iguanas? Let's discuss all the ways that you can take your existing passion for animals and turn it into a successful, sometimes extremely lucrative, career.   I am a former dog walker, pet sitter and animal foster parent, who created an incredibly successful business in one of the largest cities in the country.  I managed over 100 repeat clients and exited the business as one of the top pet sitters in my region. Using slides, articles, teacher led discussion + student input,  We will discuss ( but not limited to) the following- 
- How do I find clients?
- How do I advertise?
- What kind of expertise do I need?
- What are the pros of working in the pet business?
- What are the cons of working in the pet business?
- What are the trends in the pet business?
- How can I grow my business?
Come join me to discuss the ins and outs of working with pets!
