Pet and animal market
Boarding and daycare
Dog hotels, cat hotels, dog daycares and pet sitting and dog walking services care for animals when owners can't. Trust is everything: owners need to be sure their pet is safe, well fed and looked after.
The key decision is between your own space, which requires facilities, licenses and rules for animals living together, and care at the owner's home, which depends on scheduling and travel. Demand also changes a lot around holidays and vacations. Each case below shows what to validate before you invest.
