Doggie Daycare

There are a number of places that do overnight boarding and extended care for vacationers or frequent business travelers, but the number of daytime doggie daycare services is limited. This is a great business that has a quick turn around for service to profit ratio. The overall responsibility is often less than overnight or extended stay pet sitting business.

Most of the responsibilities of a doggie daycare will involve a possible feeding of the dogs, depending on each dogs individual schedule, walks, play time, interaction with both their temporary care givers and other dogs.

You want to make sure you screen the dogs prior to accepting them into you daycare as you will be having a variety of dogs, which you may consider putting breed restrictions or size limits in place, and it is important that conflicts are kept to a minimum. You want to make sure that if for some reason two dogs cannot seem to get along and work out there differences that you have the proper plan in place to seperate the dogs into divided locations to prevent further interaction.

Additional services are great to offer at doggie daycare as people just simply do not have time to get to the basic tasks of nail clippings, baths, or grooming, so any of these that you can offer will definitely prove to be an incentive for your clients but also make your business more appealing.

It is quickly seen that doggie daycare can be a profitable business but does require patience, experience, good facilities, and staff. Know your limitations in regards to number of animals at one time and be able to ensure that the specific needs of each animal you are sitting that day can be meet.

If you can do these few tasks, offer good accommodations, and build regular client relationships, then it is highly likely that your doggie day care will prove to be successful.
