Feeding cats when owners away

[Amysmum101]

I am a cat owner. I'd love to start a business feeding and caring for cats when their owners are away on holiday or business or even just a long weekend away as an alternative to putting the cat in a cattery. Good idea? Any takers?

There's lots of companies that already do this. Some of them have franchise opportunities. We use PawPals and they charge about £7 for a 20minute visit.

It's something I'm looking into for our summer holidays because I think it would be a lot easier and less traumatic than the pet hotel we've used before. You'll need to look in your local area to see how many companies are already offereing this service as I think they are popping up everywhere now with dog walkers and groomers. I wouldn't charge extra for playing with the cats and giving them a bit of company though just make that included in your service
