5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!! Highly recommended for Pet sitters!!, September 6, 1999
This book is truly excellent. Ms Roth not only finds a funny way to look at the job a pet sitter faces everyday but she gives a lot of sound advice!! A very TRUTHFUL view of the job. Although this book doesn't tell you how to start a pet sitting business, it does go a lot deeper! It gives you food for thought on if this is really the right career or industry for you. The advice focuses on you as an individual, not on how to get the business going. Do you have what it takes to do this job? She helps you figure it out. It is a *MUST* for all pet sitters to read .as well as those considering the job. Even if you have a pet sitting business this is a *MUST* have book because it can help train new employees if you are planing on hiring. I very highly recommend this book and am very grateful to have a copy of it. TOP OF THE LINE BOOK!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE REALITY OF PROFESSIONAL PET SITTING BY SUZANNE ROTH, January 11, 2000
By Annie Blanche Rice Szott, Poet/Artist (Weaverville, North Carolina 28787) - See all my reviews
GREETINGS TO ALL WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING THIS BOOK, do not hesitate! I got this book and took the time to lay back, have a cup of coffee and relax, the laughter, the wit, the humor that SUZANNE ROTH has in this book lifted my spirits and had me "chuckling" as I was seeing this with her descriptive words! This is one of the best informative book on PET SITTING, that I have ever read, also SUZANNE ROTH should be a story taler, for her experiences are so true to some of the things that have happened to me and my own brood of dogs - and her ability to deal with each situation, and she has many, shows you, the reader, that just anyone cannot be qualified for a PET SITTER - she describes in detail useful information for those that might be "thinking" of going into the business - for PET SITTING is not easy, and it is amazing to me how she manages all of this with the greatest of ease, of course, she is a worrier, that is what makes for a good PET SITTER and a good person....This is definitely a book that any time I need to have a laugh, that I will "pick" up and read over and over again - I thank SUZANNE ROTH for putting this book together for me and others like me that will appreciate her humor, wit, work and life! Thank you SUZANNE ROTH, even though I have never met you, I feel as if I know you, GOOD LUCK and may God Bless you and that precious husband of yours that makes your job even easier!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must read for pet sitting advise!, November 30, 1999
This is a great book for anyone who has ever thought about taking care of an animal other than your own. Animals can be unpredictable and Suzanne Roth covers all the bases on what can and does happen to a pet sitter. She has provided a good tool to those who need to know the reality of watching pets. I enjoyed the way she made her experiences come alive and prompted the reader to imagine themselves in the various situations she found herself in. She is a very nice person and I'm glad she is in the pet sitting business taking good care of all the animals that depend on her. Highly recommend this book!
