I am a teenager and I have been running a pet sitting service for years and I have never lost a pet. What make me unqualified? Me being a teenager, or the fact that I have been getting paid to watch other people's pets for the past 7 years, or is it the fact that I currently have over 25 clients?

@sjman409 i am wanting to start a petsitting business.....do you have any tips?

[sjman409]

@NCPD2410 pass out flyers, make contracts, start a website. If you are at least in college I would say to get insured. check out my website at samjacques. com

@sjman409 Exactly! I've been pet sitting since I was 11. That's 17 years and I've never lost a pet either. My business is called Jen's Pet sitting. What's yours?

[sjman409]

@Steviefan6 Sam's Pet Care. I'm going to college in a few weeks and I won;t have a car so I probably won't continue, but it was definitely fun

[voldimoret]

@Steviefan6 Im 11 now, and i started hanging flyers

[voldimoret]

lol funny, but it is serious

[SBL4141]

I thought it was cute and funny. Glad you got paid $400 for it.

[HansDieterSchnacks]

I am pet sitter in Germany. That never happens me.

[TheRxyx]

LOL

[BobbyBooshay77]

haha ok nicolemivy, i dont care how bad of an actor i am i got paid 400 dollars for it so you go try doin that in a youtube video

[Eomund]

Hey, man.  Don't worry about the haters. I thought you were funny.

[McThortonSisters]

WTFMAN?!?!?!?!?!

[BobbyBooshay77]

The video was intended to be the way it is for a purpose. I would know i am the teenager acting in it. But thanks for all the positive comments. And to everyone who doesn't like it, sorry as u can tell i'm not hollywoods finest

[MillionDollarPetPix]

This is a very funny ad... and because of that memorable. It does give the msj to hire a professional service.

Don't think it was negative... more realistic really... have seen lots of instances where people asked neighbors to care for their pet and the pet ran away.

[mijretsbew]

Never ever show the negative side. One most people would think it was a normal pet sit. Let me write you a sceen

Professional pet sitter arives at house logs time of arivel looks around for safety and security concerns. Gets key out opens door Keeps pets in the house. Good day Ralph & Sam Proceds to greet the dogs then proceeds to feed and give fresh water. Then to the walk or the outside to do business. Then the sitter wates for the dogs to calm down then writes the owners a note locking doo

After opening scene where couple is talking (comment below), should have boy opening the front door while talking on his cell to his buddies. He's not paying attention and that's how the dog gets out. . .

[NickleJukebox]

500 characters aren't enough to be helpful so I've splint into two. Part 1: Good potential and great idea but . . . It should begin with a couple saying "Just get the kid next door to watch Sparky. He's nice, I'm sure he'll be fine." Keep the next part where the dog gets out (in high speed), but have the dog chase the little old neighbor ladies cat up a tree, little old get angry, calls police.

[NickleJukebox]

part 2: Cut to scene of boy holding dog on leash and a ticket in his hand, picturing in his mind the owner asking how things went when the boy hands him an oversized $250 ticket and the boy thinking "I really didn't like Sparky any way, I just wanted some quick cash." The end "whose watching your dog" and "get a real petsitter" was great. (I'm on a campaign to make petsitter a new word.)

[catwoman57]

I wouldn't say that it is horrible, but I sure wouldn't share this with my clients. I think it had some potential at the beginning for some good natured humor without losing the dog.

[teplegna]

I totally applaud you for efforts above and beyond :) I think that anyone who doesn't see the possibilities of realness in this happening (which by the way it has happened I'm sure), are only fooling themselves. I have had several clients tell me of horrific stories by means of using a neighboring friend or relative...which almost always ends up in friends no longer being friends and relatives on non'speaking terms. So, it is my strong advice to always go with an expert/professional pet'sitter.

[AndreaForAnimals]

I think it is funny, but could be better quality.

However important the issue, people don't respond to scare tactics.

[Thespian62864]

It needs better acting.

[aimkshafe]

the storyline is very effective, acting could use some help.

[ItzaWheez]

I tend to agree with the others, it is cute, but needs a bit more professional touch.

[K9COMFORT]

Kind of dorky, but the idea is great!

[CozyCats]

Cute...I like the series idea!

[GorillaGal]

funny, but i am not so sure it should be.

[AngelPetSitters]

I think this is a cute video, and a great start. I'm pleased to see PSI making improvements and being proactive in helping us to promote our businesses!  :)

[TrophyPetNanny]

I agree. It's funny and certainly gets the point across. The distinction between a professional petsitter and the kid down the street is definitely one that needs to be made. As a professional, it's nice to see some support from our own organization.

[Flutedoodles]

Good start...this should be a series...clips showing all the things that can go wrong...and there are plenty of nightmares!

[jennyjuk]

Not so good....

[wendyballeaux]

cut but not terribly professional - would be better I think to focus on the professional pet sitters instead of a teen - best to show the positive experience of pet sitting by using a professional

[personalpetpal]

LOL That's cute.
