Elizabethann,

I pet sit as well, for friends and family. I've put up flyers in grocery stores, work bulletin boards, anywhere that people will look. I usually charge $12/day for 2/day visits depending upon where they are located. If I have to travel a ways, I ask that they also include gas money, since gas prices are totally outrageous. I go to their homes ahead of time to meet the pet and learn where all the supplies are located.

I use my previous jobs as references and they in turn, spread the word to their pet owning friends. Good jobs make the words travel quickly!!

Good luck in your new adventure!!
