Step1
Create your plan:
First you need to decide where you are going to market your pet services and how you are going to do it. You also will need to decide on what prices you will charge for your services. Typically, doing some simple Internet research will tell you what other local companies are charging; base your rates off this.
Step2
A simple trip to a pet supplies store and an office supplies store will provide you with all the supplies you will need.
Step3
Online services provide access to easy-to-make websites, thus you can very quickly get a website for your pet waste removal service. Make sure you include a rates page as well as a contact page.
Step4
Create business cards: several websites offer very cheap business cards and online design. Order some of these so you can spread the word about your new business.
Step5
Market your services. Create some very simple fliers and post them near any parks, dog parks and around residential neighborhoods.
Step6
Post your ads online. There are several very large classified websites that allow you to post ads for free. Make sure to include a link to your website in these posts.
Step7
Keep good records. Usually you will not want to accept checks or credit cards for this type of business. Instead just keep good records of the cash you take in from your pet services business by keeping track of it in a spreadsheet.
Step8
Providing the service. This is a very simple process. All you need to do is schedule a time to visit the client’s house and make sure to bring your pet waste removal tools with you. Then bag and tie the waste, and throw it out later.
People will happily pay for pet waste removal!
