I doubt anyone will allow you to look after their pet, unless you have a good relationship with that person. and also where are you going to keep the pets, what if you cannot control their behaviour or you lose one of the pets, you could get sued.
oh dont listen to the guy that wrote above. i think its a great idea so go on and do it.
PS:I think u can find a better name for it.
I like the names Critter Sitters, Pet Sitter Services, (Your name) Pet Sitting or something like that. You would want to advertise what you do. Kritter Prints is cute but sounds like you are taking photos of critters or printing something to do with pets. I didn't get the impression that it was for pet sitting. I would try to include Pet Sitter or Pet Sitting in the name. Good luck!
No special credentials or experiance is required to start a dog sitting or boarding business. Having experience sitting dogs however might be helpful for you before actually starting up your business.
You can find help in starting a small business by sitting down with a representative from your bank. They deal with people starting up new businesses all the time and should be able to give you great advice.
If I have a business license for pet sitting, do I need to be bonded as well?
I have a pet and house sitting business that is just getting started. I don't have capital, so I have to do flyers, etc. I am also starting a business where I accompany senior citizens to social events.

First and foremost you need to genuinely love dogs. Your start up costs are low. You will need liability insurance. You cannot operate your business withour pet sitting or dog walking insurance. This costs anywhere between $150 and $300 depending on your area and the services you will be offering. You will have some advertising costs to get your dog sitting business started. These will include promotional material like flyers and business cards, advertising costs and subscriptions to professional pet sitting organizations.

You would register your business with the state as a ficticious name or DBA (doing business as).
