September 30, 2016Hi Kristin.
My name is Daniel and I have a cat sitting business across the bay in Berkeley (The Comforted Kitty) and I just want to say that of all the videos scheduled for the conference, this is the one I was most eager and excited to watch since I face the (seemingly 🙂 ) daunting task of hiring my first employee soon. My business is my “baby” and I have worked my behind off growing the biz and cultivating a strong relationship of trust and reliability. So I can’t bear to have someone irresponsibly tear it down. The video was wonderful and I am very happy you shared it. thank you!
Kristin Morrison
September 30, 2016Hi Daniel,
I’m glad you got a lot out of the hiring segment. Yeah, hiring is often the scariest task that pet business owners face (especially dog walkers and pet sitters who are hiring people to go in their clients’ homes). It says a lot about you and the way you run your business that you are not taking the decision to hire lightly. I wish you all the best in hiring wonderful people for your cat sitting business. ~Kristin
Janean Huston
September 30, 2016Hi! I’ve had my business, Hounds To Horses, for over 13 years. We have a small ranch in North San Diego, CA. There are 3 parts to the business: Off-Site Pet Visits, Dog Boarding, Equine Retirement Boarding. I would LOVE to have someone take a chunk of my off-site pet visits. In the past, I have successfully hired I.C’s to help out (and yes, the first time was a Control Freak melt down for me!). Although my business’ gross revenue is 96K per year, this is my sole income source, and I find it’s often hard to have enough on-going business to keep a part-time person interested. During a slow month (ie: February), they tend to find other things to do. For 13 years, during February I barely have enough Off-Site Pet Visits to keep ME busy, much less provide a decent income for others. How can I insure the good ones don’t wander away?
Also, how did you create your “paper assistant” as I really like that idea! Thanks!
Kristin Morrison
September 30, 2016Hi Janean,
Good for you for 13 years in business! Your ranch sounds wonderful and what a great service you are offering to your clients.
You had asked what I recommend you doing in order to keep your good staff members for a long time. I recommend you watch this video one more time as I talk about that toward the end. I know I cover a lot of information here so you may have missed it. 🙂
Also, the “paper assistant” that I talked about is the Application Packet. You can create your own or you purchase one here: http://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/application-packet-for-pet-sitters-dog-walkers
Even though it was created with pet sitters and dog walkers in mind, it can be customized and edited for any kind of pet business job that you hire for.
Happy hiring!

September 30, 2016Hi Kristin,
Thanks for hosting this wonderful conference again. It really changed my life last year! SOOOO incredibly helpful! It helped me lose my fear of hiring. I went from 6 staff to 12 staff this year! And they are all great. You also helped me in raising my rates so I could pay my staff a fair rate and still make a good living. Thanks a million. I couldn’t agree more with this years program and your comments about expressing gratefulness to your staff. I have always made little handmade cards and written thank you notes to my staff every two weeks when they are paid. Its such a small thing but my gals always say how much it means to them AND…it helps my “right brain” get to express itself! Loved the speaker last night on Right brain business plan.
Thanks for offering this program for free to pet sitters. Its really terrific!
One other thing…last year you recommended the book Sabbath by Rick Muller. Oh my goodness…I’m reading it for the second time AND after 20 years of pet sitting I now take two days off weekly for rest and renewal. It has truly changed my life. I’ve managed two days off weekly and a month vacation since January… I’m very thankful for you!
Kristin Morrison
September 30, 2016Dear Annie, I love that you are now taking that much-needed time off. And a month vacation? What the what?!
Yay for you, time off rockstar!
I’m so happy that that the conference changed your life last year. Just you wait….I’m excited for you to hear the speakers we still have coming up as I suspect you and your business will go to an even higher level after what you learn from them. 🙂
And yes, the Sabbath book: isn’t it something?! I contacted the author about being a speaker on next year’s conference and he’s excited about that.
Wishing you a lovely day and thanks for checking in. I’m glad you are here again enjoying this year’s conference.

September 30, 2016Hi Kristin,
Enjoyed your video information. Some of the challenges I have had is in actually scheduling a staff member. Sounds like you would ask your staff if they are available. I use to assign a staff member to a pet and then have someone cover for them on their days off. We are about to begin job sharing so to speak. One staff member would do the am visit and the other team member will do the pm. What type of scheduling has worked best for you. My biggest take away…treat your staff with respect and love and let them know how much you appreciate them. Also, you mentioned you would share a link to your applicant questionnaire but I didn’t see it in the video…did I miss something?

September 30, 2016Hi Michele,
You are right, my web person forgot to include a link to the Application Packet on this page!
You can create your own Application Packet or you can purchase mine here: http://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/application-packet-for-pet-sitters-dog-walkers
It’s fully editable so you can customize it for any of the jobs you need filled.
Also, as far as scheduling, that’s a longer answer than I have time to answer in a message because there are many different ways to schedule. I’ll be doing an indepth Hiring webinar in a few months–stay tuned for that. 🙂
Have a great day!
~Kristin
