Wow, you have an amazing website. I used to do a lot of housesitting and pet-sitting when I was in grad school. My fantasy is to also work for Galt :0) and go back to something like that, instead of slaving 12-18 hours a day to support the welfare state (on vacation now, THANK goodness).
Thank you. ;-) I spent 8 weeks learning to do it myself about this time last year. It has been a struggle this first year out of the gate, but I am finally turning the corner. The mentors in the profession told me to expect 3-5 years to turn a profit. Well...”we” did it in less than one.
