Which Pet Sitting or Dog Walking Business Book Should I Read First?

Dog Walking book, pet sitting book, Six-Figure Pet Sitting book / /

This is a question I get asked a lot by pet sitters, dog walkers, dog trainers, pet groomers and dog daycare owners: “Kristin, which pet business book should I read first?”

My answer always depends upon where the person asking the question is in their pet business journey.

Before I answer this question for you, dear blog reader, I want to first say that even though some of these book titles below have pet sitting and dog walking in the title, they are all very much relevant and applicable to all kinds of pet businesses!

I’ve had many pet groomers, dog trainers, dog daycare owners and pet photographers all tell me they’ve gained a ton of value from the pet sitting and dog walking titled books!

Also, all book titles are available in paperback format on Amazon. The links below are for the eBooks (and audiobook format – if that particular title is available in audiobook).

Are you starting your pet business OR would you like a step-by-step guide to grow your business by leaps and bounds? Read 30 Days to Start and Grow Your Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business eBook.

Or listen to 30 Days to Start and Grow Your Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business audiobook.

Are you feeling stuck in your pet business evolution and need to break through that financial glass ceiling, whether it be six figures – or even well beyond six figures? Read Six-Figure Pet Sitting eBook.

Or listen to the Six-Figure Pet Sitting audiobook.

Are you a pet groomer, dog trainer, dog daycare owner or any other pet professional and want to reach six-figures or even more in your pet business? Read Six-Figure Pet Business eBook.

Are you hiring staff member including pet sitters, dog walkers, pet groomers, dog trainers, dog daycare assistants, admin assistants, office managers or any other person to help support you to start, grow or run your pet business? Even though this book has pet sitters and dog walkers in the title, truly any pet professional who wants to hire -or who wants to get a lot better at hiring- will benefit from reading this hiring book! Read The Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers eBook.

Imagine if you could have access to 20 top pet business and life management experts…in the comfort of your own home? With this Prosperous Pet Business: Interviews with the Experts eBook you can! In this empowering 350-page eBook, Kristin Morrison interviews top pet business experts including Patti Moran (Pet Sitters International), Paul Mann (Fetch! Pet Care), Ian Dunbar, Andrea Arden and many more! Read Prosperous Pet Business: Interviews with the Experts eBook.

I’m currently working on book #6 which addresses one of the biggest pain points in the pet business industry. My new book will be released in late 2020 or early 2021. More details to come soon!

Happy reading, starting or growing your pet biz!

Six-Figure Pet Sitting Book Review from PetSitUSA.com

Pet Sitting Success, Six Figure Pet Sitting Business Book, Six-Figure Pet Sitting book, six-figure pet sitting business / /

petsitting_cover_lowres_12.22Another review for my book, Six-Figure Pet Sitting.

Thank you, Therese Kopiwoda of PetSitUSA.com for the lovely book review. 🙂

Here it is:

“Six-Figure Pet Sitting: Catapult Your Pet Sitting Business to Unlimited Success by Kristin Morrison of Six-Figure Pet Sitting Academy, covers a wide range of topics to help pet sitters create a successful business. This includes writing a business plan, managing finances, organization techniques, marketing, hiring employees, customer service, and other subjects essential to operating a business. Where Six Figure Pet Sitting differs from other books geared to the pet sitting industry though, is that Kristin also stresses the personal and emotional aspects of operating a business.

In her book, Kristin asks people to dig deep and think about their goals, desires, and aspirations in order to create a business that works for them. Through years of working with professional pet sitters, she has developed exercises to help her clients define the what, how, and why of what they envision as a successful business – as well as a successful personal life. Once they are clear what that means, and what their goals are, she helps them put it all together to create a plan that will enable them to achieve those goals. She essentially takes an all encompassing approach to helping her clients, and her readers, create a better life.

Kristin includes some of the exercises she uses with her coaching clients in her book. Some of them are in the form of action steps such as organizing your office, setting up your bookkeeping, writing a marketing letter, etc. Others are more introspective, and require you to list your successes, failures, shortcomings, what you’d like to accomplish, etc. in your business and personal life. They will require some thought, and will likely challenge you. But if you go through the action steps and exercises as she suggests, you will get a clearer idea of what you want and how to get there.

The goal of Six Figure Pet Sitting isn’t just to help people create a successful pet sitting business – although that certainly is one goal. The bigger goal is to help people create a fulfilling life by building a business doing what they love. I highly recommend it to all pet sitters, regardless of how long you’ve been in business. In fact, even though I’ve owned my own business since 2001, her advice has me changing the way I do some things. And, I might add,  it’s all for the better. Thank You, Kristin!”

Thanks again, Therese of PetSit USA. It’s reviews like this that make all of those nights and weekends I spent writing the book completely worth it! 🙂

And for those of you who are interested in getting the book, it’s available in printed format on Amazon or in eBook format on my website.

I got this email and picture today from Mary O. who purchased my book Six-Figure Pet Sitting a couple of months ago.

Here’s what she writes:

“I had my book on my bed and my cat Chelsea decided she liked it too! Must be a good sign.”

🙂

Thanks, Chelsea, for the two paws up!

Six-Figure Pet Sitting Book Review

This week I got a Facebook posting from an interesting couple who provide pet sitting services for clients all over the world.

Facinating.

They just got done reading my book “Six-Figure Pet Sitting” and wrote a review about the book on their website.

This part put a smile on my face: “It took me a week or two to actually take the time to sit down and read it, but once I picked it up, I could not put it down.”

Reading comments like that makes all those nights and weekends that I spent writing the book absolutely worth it!

I encourage you to explore their website as it’s a fun read (check out their blog archive section to read about their house and pet sitting adventures).

You can click here to read their review of “Six-Figure Pet Sitting”.

Six-Figure Pet Sitting: The Book

petsitting_cover_12.22

I’m one of those people that is a bit old-fashioned when it comes to books.

I know, I know, Kindle is the hottest rage and I will admit it would be nice not to be lugging 50 pounds of books around with me on this trip that I’m currently on.

But, for me, there is something about holding a book in my hands that makes me very, very happy.

Which makes me also happy to announce that, in addition my book being available in eBook format, Six-Figure Pet Sitting: Catapult Your Pet Sitting Business to Unlimited Success book is now available in printed format through Amazon.

Yay!

You can do the writing exercises in the book. You can fold down the corner of the pages that you want to come back to next time you pick up the book (I won’t tell anyone).

And for those of you high tech pet sitters who want to read the Six-Figure Pet Sitting book on your smart phone and Kindle–it will be available for purchase in those formats soon too.

Enjoy and happy pet sitting!
–Kristin
