We were living in a 650 sq. ft. apartment making a combined income of about two thousand dollars and getting further into debt with each passing month.  We knew that we had to do something to earn some extra income. One fateful trip to the mailbox changed everything and ignited one of the largest pet sitting services in Arizona.

Working as a professional pet sitter for The Animal’s Kingdom Pet Sitting Service, Inc. is a rewarding experience.  It’s a great opportunity to be with animals and earn a respectable full time or supplemental income at the same time.  Becoming a professional pet sitter also allows for flexible scheduling, no office environment, no time clock to punch, and gratuities from the clients.  Spend your days outside and in the comfort of a home environment. The biggest reward of all, of course, is making new animal friends while their owners are away.  If this sounds appealing, you might be what The Animal’s Kingdom is looking for.  We need committed individuals who enjoy the independence and responsibility associated with the professional pet care industry.  The Animal’s Kingdom’s sister company Mango Consultants will train you and help you begin your new pet sitting business. Once your training is complete and your business model is set The Animal’s Kingdom will contract you and give you the client base you need to get started.  Have the job that all you friends will envy it is just that simple!!!

Below are the necessary requirements for acquiring a contract position with The Animals’ Kingdom Pet Sitting Service, Inc.  We thank you for your interest in becoming a professional pet sitter and look forward to speaking with you.

1). You must be 21 years of age or older.

2). Availability between the hours of 6-9am and 6-9pm on a 7 day a week basis. 11-2 middday availability is a plus.

The ability to sit for your clients on a daily basis will be expected. This career can be started as a second job.

Since these are living animals, calling in sick or not showing up is unacceptable. If you will be unavailable for any reason you will need to arrange for a sitter to cover your sits.

As well as careful monitoring of the animal’s health and well-being.
