1. Pooper-Scooper Service
Someone needs to pick up the little droppings that pets leave all over residential neighborhoods, which is why this pet business has been growing in popularity. Clients will hire you to come by once or twice a week to clean the poop from their front yards, a project that takes as little as five minutes once you learn to spot the messes in the grass. Both homeowners and business owners can benefit from this service, and the average charge per month is between $40 and $75.
2. Pet Photographer
If you're good with a camera and enjoy helping animals to strike cute poses, a great pet business for you would be as a photographer. These professionals usually have a degree in photography---or equivalent experience. Some have a studio, which would be the more expensive option, while others visit their clients' homes to photograph their pets in familiar surroundings. You can expand your services to include the designing of greeting cards with featured pets, video taping services or even Web site creation.
3. Pet Sitting
How many people in your neighborhood go on vacation at least once a year? And how many of those leave pets behind? Animals lovers are increasingly reluctant to board their pets at veterinary hospitals and kennels, so you can make a killing with a pet sitting business. It doesn't require any special skills (though you should be insured and bonded), and you can even take care of pets while their owners are at work.
4. Pet Day Care
