15 Great Businesses for Pet Lovers

Dog Grooming An old standby in the pet industry, clients range from those wanting Fluffy to have the perfect coifed hairdo to the mutts that wrestled with a skunk. Traditionally, dog groomers are found in brick and mortar strip mall locations, but more recently have taken on a mobile dog grooming business model.


Dog Training Pet owners today only want the best for their dogs. Build up a great reputation and you could be the next Cesar Millan of your neighborhood. Soon you’ll have a waiting list of fur-babies still in the womb.


Dog Walking Dog walking is a flexible choice with very low overhead. Perhaps once limited as an afternoon job for school children, the demand in a local economy for dog walking can easily bring in a part time income. Turn this idea into a full time job, by offering it as an additional service of a pet sitting business, for example.


Professional Pet Sitting At times, pet owners might want to go on vacation and leave the “kids” at home. This is where you can step in.
