Love pets? Become a Mumpreneur with PetCloud

The number of women running businesses in Australia is growing, with "mumpreneurs" being early adopters of new technologies and utilising social media to launch their businesses from home.  In fact, Mums are leading the way in navigating new technology and new business opportunities, as a means to tackle the challenge of balancing economic and family goals.

The popularity of Australian sharing economy website PetCloud has risen dramatically mainly due to Mums who are going there in droves to create freedom, flexibility, family time and an income for themselves and their families.  Best of all, it's free to join the site to get started as a Pet Sitter.

The team at PetCloud share 5 reasons why becoming a Pet Sitter is the best thing for you and your family:

1- Pet Sitters not only get the companionship of cute pets, but also get to earn money while doing it. Pet Sitters on PetCloud have had no trouble making over $1000 per month being the host family for a pet.

2 - Researchers have found that patting and cuddling a pet is a proven antidote to stress. It has been found that that petting a dog can lower blood pressure, as compared to interacting with another person.

3 - Kids who have been raised around pets grow up to be more empathetic. They also have fewer visits to the doctor and have a high immunity.

4 - A wagging tail, a furry cuddle or a little lick can always help to lift your spirits. Pets can be great company in times of when youre feeling flat, bored, or lonely. Like times when you want company but don't want to talk to anyone.

5 - A PT on a leash, Dogs can act as the perfect personal trainer. They usually require to be walked several times a day and can be a great motivation for you to get out and exercise.

At PetCloud, there are various other ways you can make money and have a furry companion. Pet Sitters can earn by doing other activities like walking, grooming, pet taxi, and daycare services.

Jolie is one example of a Pet Sitter who loves working with PetCloud.  "I had minded friends' dogs for many years and after my beloved Jett passed away after 18 years, I was still minding dogs to fill the gap.  People used to say to me "you should be charging for this".  I was seriously considering starting a pet sitting business, but just wasn't happy about handing out my personal contact details to strangers...even if they were walking cute dogs!  So, I filed the idea away.  A few days later my hubby pointed out an article in the Sunday paper and said "this is for you", and I discovered PetCloud.
 
That was in April this year and I've never looked back.  PetCloud provide the platform for me to advertise my services on the internet.  Not only do they supply me with a fabulous website, they cover me and the dog owner with RSPCA Insurance. They provide Support, Privacy, Learning courses of choice and much more.  PetCloud basically does all the work matching me with dog owners in my local area who are looking on the internet for a pet sitter.  

 I'm off to Rainbow Bay for a week over Christmas (all expenses paid) and I look forward to sipping a drink on our waterfront balcony.   All thanks to PetCloud.  I love my job! - Jolie

PetCloud provides many pet related services for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs etc.  All creatures need someone to look after them when their owners are away.  Perhaps you just want to do dog walking or mind at the owner's house.  Maybe you work all week and just want to mind on weekends.  There are a multitude of options available...and you get paid!

I now feel confident about handing out my business cards, which list my services and my contact via the PetCloud website.  I receive a booking request showing a picture and details of the dog looking for a minder.  If I feel I could mind the pooch, it is then that I give the owner my contact details and arrange a  "Meet and Greet".  If for some reason it doesn't work out, I can decline the booking.       
 
I am blessed to have minded the most beautiful dogs...and they keep coming back!  People tend to have more holidays when they know they can leave their beloved pet with a trusted minder.   2 of my regular fur friends are now my weekly day care dogs as well.  I have bookings well into next year.   Not only do I love the dogs, but I have made good friends with the owners who are mostly local, but I would never have met them if it weren't for PetCloud.
 
If you think you've got what it takes and you really are crazy about animals, visit the PetCloud site and have a look around.  It’s an opportunity to help you run your own business, and you can work it as much or as little as you want.  There is serious money to be made!  Pay off that Credit Card or save for a trip...whatever you want.  As for me, I'm off to Rainbow Bay for a week over Christmas all expenses paid and I look forward to sipping a drink on our waterfront balcony.   All thanks to PetCloud.  I love my job!
