Good Morning!   I have had my Pet Sitting business now for about a year.  I only have eight clients.  I have business cards, flyers. etc.  I have my web site but I'm not getting any calls or e-mails.  Don't understand why? I must be doing something wrong or maybe I'm not doing enough.  Please take a look at my web-site and let me know what you think.  It was done through Vista Print.  www.lovingpawspetsitting.com

Hello terriberry

I got a chance to look at your website.

First Impression: It's very appealing, clean, easy to navigate and is very befiting for your business.

On your About Us page I would maybe put a pic of yourself maybe with some pets. Tell of your experience in the pet sitting business.

Also on your blog maybe post the best parks to take your pets to in your area or a typical day with a pet in your care.

As far as other marketing, have you considered going to your local dog park (if you have one) and passing out your info. If people aren't coming to you, find a way to go to them. Maybe attach your flyers to homemade treats or even store bought ones. Anything to make a good first impression.

Well I hope I am of some help and good luck with your business.
