    Hi eveyone,
    I was just hoping to get some advice and opinions on opening a day care for dogs. Baically I would be doing it from home however am wander if my location would be an issue as its rural (carlow/wicklow border) so unsure if would be a demand for such a service. I do plan on getting a van so pick up or perhaps meeting owners on way to work or whereever would be an option.
    Also I dont have any qualifications but do have a huge amount of experience with dogs of various breeds and I have 7rescue dogs of my own ranging from a staff to minature fox terrier, would lack of a formal qualification be a problem for people? If anyone has any advice at all I would love to hear it, im far from starting this business and know there are alot of things I would have to look into such as insurance ect.
    Sorry this post is alover the place (its my first one!) thankyou in advance for any replys I may get and really just want to know do people think there is s demand out there, basically is it a good idea?
    Thanx agsin Petite

    Hey, there's a pet sitting service that may be looking for dog walkers in and around your area petsittersireland I think their called. You could try do a few walks for them and get a feel for if their is a need for a daycare.
