Business Description: Successful North Side dog walking & pet sitting business for sale. This is a sole proprietorship with a fantastic reputation in a highly dog-populated neighborhood. Current client schedule is fully booked and essentially a turn-key business. The business has low overhead and insurance is current and transferable until September 2012. This endeavor provides full-time employment for one individual. Fantastic opportunity to be your own boss and offers excellent income and no need (or time) for a second job.

To be successful in this venture you must be able to pass a background check, have experience working with dogs and be very fit and strong to take on the current client base. You should be able to sleep at clients' houses and be in a situation that allows you to overnight dogs in your home. You must also have a car to provide all current services. Residing close to the 60640 area is a must to be able to accommodate last minute bookings.

Ideally, you should be able to take over the business sometime between January 1st and March 1st at the latest. I am willing to work side by side with the right candidate for 1-2 months to make sure that you are set up for success and that the clients are confident in the transition. Are you the right fit?
