If your home is already dog-proof and your dog is pet-friendly, bringing in a new friend for your dog and getting paid is very straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could use your own home to start the day-care from, or you could rent or buy your own premises which will obviously increase the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Other Considerations<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before setting up a business, always conduct research to check there is enough demand, and not too much competition in\u00a0your local area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all of these businesses, you\u2019ll need to ensure that the dogs you\u2019re caring for have been registered with the City of Chicago if they\u2019re over 4 months old. The costs of the licenses are $5 for sterilized dogs and $50 for unsterilized dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to ensure you have the appropriate licensing and insurance in place, to protect you from being personally liable for any claims arising from your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re all set up, you\u2019ll need to advertise and market your business. You can do this through networking at local dog events, posting your services in local Chicago Facebook Groups and putting flyers in mailboxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before accepting any dog into your care, you\u2019ll need to confirm that they are well socialized and have a good temperament. You\u2019ll also need to have clients sign agreements which set out both of your expectations and responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Featured Image Credit: Montrose Dog Beach<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billions of dollars are spent every year in the pet care industry, and it\u2019s still growing every year.
