Hi! You provide great information, thank you. I have five questions…

1. What is the split between what you pay out and what you charge your ICs?

2. How do you assure to make money off your ICs vs lose money?

3. Is vehicle fuel included in the percentage you pay them or separate?

4. How do you get your ICs respective client house keys and get them back?

5. How much money do you put back into marketing?

Thank you!

Using a LLC business model will give you protection of your personal assets and still allow you to keep your taxes simple. Most pet sitting businesses that I have seen are using the LLC structure.

So, when deciding to expand your business, should a pet sitter Incorporate?

I just found your blog! As another pet sitter who writes a regular blog to help pet sitters with their businesses, I’m happy we have connected. Adding ICs is a huge step, one that I am considering too.
