5.0étoiles sur 5 Doggie stories stranger than fiction!, Avril 9 2004
Par Un client
I read this book in 2 sittings, absolutely impressed by this woman's dedication to pets, when I would have probably given up. If you're considering pet sitting, you certainly need to read this book first. It's a hands-on manual for the job.

Not only does the author give obscure tips (make sure owners didn't lock screen door and exit through the garage) that you'd never think of, she gives personality advice on who will make it and who won't.

In my opinion, one would find it more lucrative to just do cats and not do dogs (which are HIGH maintenance for sure). But the author is a better person than I am in terms of doggie devotion. I'd be in the middle of the street screaming at some of the things that happened to her.

The only thing I disagreed with was her estimation of the income potential, which was low. I think cats and birds would put it much higher than office work. The dogs pull it down. Read it and see for yourself.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I am the author., Janv. 11 2004
First of all, thanks to all who have taken the time to read my book, and to those who have taken the time to write a review. When I wrote the book it was my intention to inform potential sitters of the pros and cons of pet sitting - many people think that it is, well, 'a walk in the park'. Well, many times it is - and sometimes it isn't. It was definitely not my intention to stop anyone's dream from becoming a reality...but I do believe it is better to know if something is right for you or not before your whole HEART is put into it. I am glad to read the words "humor", "wit", "laughter", "amusing" and "smile" in the reviews. I wrote the book in a candid way for SITTERS as well as ALL PET OWNERS....even though our furry & feathery friends lift our spirits each and every day, putting more LAUGHTER in our lives doesn't hurt. After reading the 'reality' of pet sitting, should you decide to continue your pursuit of pet sitting - or decide to perhaps choose working with animals in a different profession - I am glad I could help steer you in the right direction, and wish you all the best! To all pet lovers who purchase my book in the future, thank you in advance.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A must read for all animal lovers., Sep 15 2002
Par "gordonchandler" (Stone Mountain, GA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This is a fun book. The interesting stories and lighthearted way of telling them by Suzanne makes this book a must read for all animal lovers even if they do not plan to enter the Pet Sitting business.

Most people think of Pet Sitting as leisurely walking a fun little dog on a bright sunny spring day. On many occasions it is, but this is the only book I have found that addresses some of the profession's problems in addition to its rewards. You might begin to think that Suzanne goes to work with a dark cloud over her head but you quickly realize that these hilarious events in pet sitting make the business even more fun and rewarding and that the same events will probably happen to you.

You will not find how to open a checking account or how to incorporate your new business. Instead you will receive some very practical information about actually running a pet business and what to expect. I don't think that any of the amusing stories of mishaps will keep anyone out of the business but it will certainly better prepare someone to be a better Professional Pet Sitter.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Advice: Read this Book First!, Avril 25 2002
Par Mary Russo (Midwest USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I just recently purchased this book. I only wish I had bought it BEFORE I made up my mind to make pet sitting my full-time career....I have been in business since last summer, and I am exhausted! This book would have made me realize that I should have started SLOWly and not had 1000 business cards and ads printed up right away...I know now I couldn't handle anywhere near 1000 customers by myself...it is exhausting! The book is very funny, while pointing out both the advantages and disadvantages of pet sitting. If you love pets, you will love this book whether you are a pet sittr or not - I still have a smile on my face. Bravo!
