Pet Nanny? Does Perks sound a but too much like it's pampering rather than regular care?

Yes, Kitt, I think so too. HP, maybe you could add a fish tank and birdcage behind the dog and cat on that logo.

It's why I said you may not want to use Pet Perks, cause it's a PetSmart name. Yup, just checked, "PetPerks" is a registered trademark of PetSmart. While the spelling is slightly different, I would highly suggest you do NOT use that name. Pet Nanny isn't bad. I still like Pet Embrace, though. One thing my pet sitter does is actually spend some time with the kids. She doesn't just rush in, feed 'em, scoop their litter box, give Costa his meds, and rush back out. She plays with them, gives them treats, sits on the floor and lets 'em headbutt her... Which is why Pet Embrace appeals to me, amyways.

I like Pet Nanny. I don't like Pet Embrace... it brings to mind petting and embracing and nothing to do with cats and dogs. Sorry, that's the way my naughty mind works. Sorry.

I like Pet Nanny. Pet Embrace sounds too much like something for if the pet has crossed Rainbow Bridge to me. ETA: I also like Pet Perks. That sounds like fun and who doesn't like perks?

Pet Perks is so cute! And it tells what you can do for them ... love it!! Not a big Pet Embrace fan here either ... it's not about 'loving or embracing' the pet. It's about what you can do for the pet ... the perks!

Thank you all so much!! Even when I was missing, you were still hard at working, helping me think! (I need all the help I can get.) Now if Ed would just fall asleep, (I did feed him well) . . . I can work on this stuff the rest of the night. I inquired today about learning Pet CPR and Pet First Aid. I noticed no one else offers that in their information and I think that would be a big plus. I haven't actually located the classes yet, but the Director of the Humane Society told me where to look (Red Cross, of all places!) and took my email address so she could let me know if she found something concrete. She also recommended a book called Dog First Aid--she thinks. I will go to the bookstore tomorrow! If I don't find any classes quickly, I think I will call my vet and ask if he can train me a bit in that--until I find actual classes that will allow me to actually advertise that. Btw, I checked the listings in the phone book today (Wilmington only). They (under PET) include some very cute names (some of these are doggy day care centers that offer the services I will be offering, and some are owned by vets--I think you can tell which is which. The good news is that only 3 (the ones in blue) are actually located in north Wilmington! Here are all the names I found: A Bark Above A Pet's Dream Bark Avenue Dog Day Camp Best Friends The Cats Pajamas Critter Sitter Dog Dayz, Too Doggie Playhouse Fetch Pet Care--We've Got Your Tail Covered! (Love that; this is a nat'l name) Fur Paws Furry Friends HappyDogs Heads and Tails Home Sweet Home Pet Care K9Fred--Don't leave your pets home alone Noah's Ark Paws & People Too Pet Kare II Playtime Doggie Daycare & Pet Salon Precious Pet Care (only online; not in book) Pup's Place Wonderdog (online only) Hey!!! That's Hercky's tag here on TVCH! and two listed online only who simply use their own (first) names. Some cute ones, huh?

Hey, I like Pet Nanny! It tells it all, doesn't it? Some of you must have missed Costa's post that 'Pet Perks' is proprietary--PetSmart owns it.

I love Pet Nanny...I was looking up words similar to daycare earlier today and couldn't pick up on anything..Nanny says it all. You could get a call to feed someone's fish while on vacation. It gives you endless options. Looking forward to seeing what you decide - oh and Nanny already implies "in your home"

I like Pet Nanny too. As you said Hp, it does tell it all. Do you travel -- like maybe to Chicago? Or maybe when necessary I can point Lucy Anna towards the east and tell her where to go. She's a Rosey Bourke's parakeet. Rosey Bourke's are hookbills, but they do NOT bite. Absolutely do not. Just doesn't know how!

Color, my dd had parakeets--but I have no clue as to what kind. I think they were capable of biting, though. Loupup was amazing with them. She trained (and 'performed' when we had guests over) her favorite parakeet, Priscilla, to fly from her finger to a swing she had placed in the doorway arch that separated the living room and dining room. Then it would fly back and land on her head. It was a riot! Herckle knew Priscilla. He had that same parakeet in his mouth way, way back. I was hot on Herc's tail, though, cuz I witnessed the pounce! I was so relieved that Herc had no idea what to do with Priscilla once he managed to catch her! (He never bit down. Just had the biggest eyes I'd ever seen on him.) Heh. One day when I was at work, Loupup called me and was crying her eyes out. She had been cleaning her Priscilla's beak when the bird suddenly went limp in her hands. She begged me to come up and help her live! Luckily, I had a good boss then, who said, "Go!" I gave that (dead) bird mouth-to-beak resuscitation. (I knew she was dead, but I just couldn't not try for Loupup.) Uh, Loupup didn't know it, and I sure didn't tell her, but she had accidentally drowned that poor bird. (Water on a Q-Tip, which had not been squeezed out properly.) My co-workers told me I was going to Mommy Heaven after that. Mouth-to-beak resuscitation! Ok, Julieboo. Pet Nanny it is!!! Have fun doing what you can, dear. I am so thrilled to have made a decision, and one that I think will stand out! Was that Kitt who came up with that?!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sweetheart!!!

I like Pet Nanny. Another tip - if you are interested...look up all of the phone numbers in your area of the businesses listed in the yellow pages. Sometimes, they have gone out of business since placing their ads in the phonebook. If you come across some disconnected numbers, you can call the phone company and ask to activate those numbers in your name. Then, anyone who tries to call those businesses will get you! Then, you can explain the services you have. Nine times out of 10, no one cares what the actual name is - they just want to know what your prices are!

I'm picturing Mary Poppins soaring up in the air with her umbrella in one hand, and Herkiepoochie on a leash, or curled up in her other hand flying over the rooftops!!!
