How much would you guess I earn?

I took redundancy from a very corporate job a few years ago. Very respectable job title with a big company.

I decided to have a go at home dog boarding. So I look after dogs in my home for people who don’t like kennels. I also do a bit of doggie day care. It’s all just in my house.

It obviously doesn’t carry the same respect that my corporate job did! You don’t need any qualifications.

If you had to guess, what would you think I earn a month?

That's also before insurance, tax and SS contributions of course. Take home would actually be a good bit less I presume.

And THIRTY days a month?? Shouldn't it be more like 21 or 22? Or do people leave their dogs with you in daycare thirty days a month? DO they work non stop or do they just not like hanging out with their dogs at weekends?

This kind of comment just goes to show how people just don’t understand the business model. It’s not the same 3 dogs in daycare for 30 days a month! 😂 It’s different dogs every day, evening out at circa 3 a day. So the 3 dogs on Monday aren’t the same dogs that come on a Tuesday ……

Yes but you’ve said you only have 60 dogs on your rota. Which with the amount of dogs you say you have staying for both overnight and daycare means some people are leaving their dogs with you almost permanently
