The Amazon Store at MillionDollarPetPix.com ( In association with Amazon.com )The Professional Pet Sitter: Your Guide to Starting and Operating a Successful Service Edition 2005 Newly-Revised Includes Business Forms - Pet SitterThe book is in good shape and was delivered promtly. The pages and cover are clean and stain free. I would have liked to know that it was previously a library book, but I'm still happy with my purchase. Rating: - Not worth the moneyThis book is way too expensive for what you get. Most of the forms you can find on the internet. They go into great detail about office procedures and paper work which is good, but that was most of the book. If your looking for in dept pet sitting advice I would buy "Pet Sitting for Profit", it's actually a much better book. Rating: - Pet Sitting GuideI thought this book was just average. It is very over priced for what the book actually has to offer. Rating: - very informativethis book is very informative. it's a must-have for new enterperneurs interested in this field. i highly recommend it. Rating: - An excellent resourceWhen I first started thinking about starting my business in the early-mid 90's I picked up this book and devoured it. Then, it sat on my shelf as I pursued my 'corporate ladder' and took care of pets part-time. When I decided to open my business full-time I again referred to the book. It really kept me inspired and ready to move forward. However, I did find that many of the suggestions were somewhat outdated -- using paper to track clients and schedules was never part of my plan -- but the basics of what they recommend you track/keep were great -- and I adapted the info to my on-line database. Since then, I've switched to a third-party service for an on-line database for client info, but the info I learned from the Mangolds' book was great. I did read this book before Patti Moran's and tend to refer to it as the original 'bible' in my mind. But both books cover the same territory and give you a good overview of wht to expect. Petsitters are generally GREAT with pets and like the idea of spending time with them, but often have a hard time with the business side...this book is a great guide and reminder that you are in it to make money.; As my business grew (http://www.peggiespets.com), I started helping other pet-sitters start or enhance their own businesses, ([...]) and this is a book that I include on my reading list for clients. It's a good book that should be part of your learning library to continue to provide outstanding service to pets and their people! Peggie Arvidson-Dailey
