Step 1
Become a pet sitter. This business usually involves going to the owner's home to feed, play or exercise the pet.

Train dogs. Although many trainers are not certified, receiving the proper training will help you obtain clients and enable you to charge more. You can perform the training at your home or go directly to the clients as an added benefit for them.
