Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Business Course Student Review from Peter Gettins who has completed our course and has now set up and is running his own successful pet sitting and dog walking business!
“I wanted to find a way to work with animals as a career change and after exhaustive research, I decided that pet sitting and dog walking would be a viable option. I wanted to find a course to study and gain practical experience which would offer me the ability to begin this path. I searched many courses online and chose the Animal Course Direct course. They offered me the chance to study both the theory and practical elements of both pet sitting and dog walking during the course before putting it all in to practice on the training day. Each module of the course was studied and assessed individually with excellent comments and feedback from my tutor. The hands on practical day was invaluable and I gained great insight into both the business and practical side of dog walking with once again an excellent tutor who runs her own dog walking business. I was able to complete and pass the courses whilst still working and I have now set up my own full time pet sitting and dog walking business www.carefreepetsitting.co.uk I highly recommend both the course and practical day for anyone thinking of working in pet sitting or dog walking”.
