As a Mad Paws Pet Sitter, you already know how rewarding it is to care for pets. But if you want to grow your bookings, a little self-promotion can go a long way!
The good news? You don’t need a big marketing budget or years of sales experience. Just a few simple tactics to help spread the word will make a big difference.
Here are three easy ways to get more pet parents noticing (and booking) you:
1. Hand out business cards & flyers
Never underestimate the power of good old-fashioned tangible promo item.
Handing out business cards or flyers at your local dog park, vet clinic, or even putting them on a community board at your local shopping centre is a simple way to get your name out there.
TOP TIP: Mad Paws can help you design professional, branded business cards and flyers so you’ll look polished and trustworthy from the very first interaction. Check out the design templates and instructions on how to order promotional items >
2. Wear your Mad Paws merch with pride
When you’re out walking dogs or doing drop-in visits, wearing Mad Paws merch is like having a walking billboard. Not only does it make you look professional, but it also sparks curiosity from other pet parents. A quick chat could turn into your next booking.

3. Leave behind a thank you card (with a bonus!)
At the end of a booking, leave a thank you card for your client. It’s a small gesture that leaves a big impression. Better yet, mention our $25 referral program on the card. If they refer you to a friend who books through Mad Paws, they’ll get rewarded, and so will you. It’s a win-win!
Promoting your pet sitting business doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right mix of visibility, professionalism, and personal touches, you’ll be building lasting relationships with pet parents in no time.
And, Mad Paws is here to support you every step of the way, from providing marketing materials to boosting your profile online. Try these three strategies, and watch your pet sitting calendar fill up faster than a pup racing for the treat jar 🐾
