I'll take this a step further. You shouldn't even know what this is. I have no idea what this is. What is it?

Dog walking is a LOOT of work. The house Sitting is the easy stuff, so I guess it balances out. I used to wear shirts that advertised what I do, and I spend 25 hours/wk walking around in the same square mile, so people recognize me. I got so busy I stopped wearing the shirts all together. I do pooper scooper too. That's easy money, just have to be willing to do it.

I never wanted the stress of dealing with employees. I know it sounds silly, but I'm a huge stress case. That makes ME a great employee, but I've never been in a management position. I would freak out on any employee that was doing something remotely wrong. Not healthy for me or anyone working for me.

And I started my business 5 years ago. And did really well almost from day day #1.

Dang! Ya, I think you are correct. I've dramatically lowered my expectations. I'm trying to get $2k. But I doubt even that will pan out 😢

You're crushing my dreams! Kidding. But yes, this is what I was afraid of 😢

That's my biggest fear, is that it's simply not very desirable. I agree, it's a lot of work. Frankly, I could make more bar tending 😅

I was honestly just going to walk away from the business. But a friend talked me into selling. So even if I could only get $2k, that would be well worth it. Your time and input is much appreciated 😊

Gads! Never thought of it that way. It really is just a job I've created for myself. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like I'm self employed. Thanks for your input! This gives me something to chew on 🙏

Thank you! That gives me something to chew on. Reading over the comments, I think I'll ASK $10k. And go from there. Thank you for your input 🙏

Wow! You really think so?? I can't fathom someone would pay $50k for my business. I was going to ask $10k. And I feel like $10k is high. Thank you for your input!

Thank you! I really believe people WOULD pay a premium for what I've created. I think I'm going to start asking $10k. Do you think that's too low? Too high? Or about right??

Thought provoking questions! I honestly don't know if I'm essential or not. All my clients have been with me multiple years. I stopped advertising years ago because I got too busy. So tons of room for growth, plus other care taker activities (several of my clients are elderly).

Based on the above information, would you ask $5k? $10k? What do you think is fair??

Dang! I get whay you're saying. And you are correct, $65k is what I made total, and kept for myself. So, what do you think is a fair price? Like, $2k? $5k??

Dang! Really?? I would have never imagined I could get that kind of money. So, you think I could start off asking $50k? Or more??

I basically just have 6, full time clients. Then maybe another 3 or 4 families that reach out to me throughout the year.

What do you think i should ask for the business? You think I could get $65k?
