Everyone knows I am 19 years old. I get bored very easily and I am always home. Everyone knows how can being at home can be very annoying! I have been trying to find a new job since August. And I always want to work with animals. So I started to apply at every animal shelter, rescue shelter, and dog day care around Southern California. Well I haven't heard back from a few of them but I am still hoping my fingers are crossed for one of them to call me.
Now I have always grew up with animals and I am great at training dogs! I really am. I taught my German Shepard to be very loyal and good with direction. Training dogs for me is a no brainer. So I decided to brain storm. How can I work from home but still work with animals? Well I was already a dog walker and that was successful. I started thinking I have this huge house, huge back yard, two dogs that get along with other dogs. I will be a DOG BOARDER!
After I decided to do that. I put my services up on Craigslist. I made it sound all professional and nice. I made the prices very affordable. Within a matter of days I started getting emails from people asking if I can boarder and walk their dogs. I think it had to do with my prices and big backyard. So I started emailing back and asking them for information about their dogs. And before I knew it I became a dog boarder. So far I have two people who want to board their dogs with me in the next few weeks. I am pretty excited for this.
Here is a summary of the Craigslist ad:
Do you ever feel like you can't go anywhere because you own a dog? Are you nervous to leave your dog alone? Well now you don't have to! My name is Shelah Jurik and I work with Rover.com. I am a pet sitter and I love animals. I have two dogs of my own and they are dearly loved. I know how it can be to leave and all that's on your mind is that is everything okay at my home with my dog.
I look after small, medium, and large dogs! They will have a big back yard to play in, a huge house to run around in and will be walked twice a day. I do groom the dogs as well so they are nice and clean when they go back home to you.
Little bit about me:
I am nineteen years old. I have a boxer and a German Shepard. They get along with other dogs really well. I am going to school to become a veterinarian and I'm hoping when I am done with school I can open up my own affordable clinic. I have always grown up with dogs so I know how to train them, treat them, and not be afraid of them.

I charge $25/night per dog. Please contact me via email or phone if you are interested.
Okay so not a summary the whole ad really haha. And then I posted pictures of my dogs and the backyard. I think they attracted a lot of people.
Now that I had that going for me. I thought I would never be bored. And since I know a lot about dogs because I want to become a veterinarian this would be a great way to see how the breeds interact in person. Now just have to wait on the dogs to come and get the house all ready. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted! :D
Okay so it's day three of the ad being up on Craigslist and so far I've had three people email me. Now I am very nervous about scammers and fraud. So I always have my mom check the emails. I emailed them back because they said that they would pay me with check. I told them I do not handle checks its a cash up from boarding company. I do this because I do not want a fraud check. So I am hoping that the people emailing me about there dogs will still want to boarder with me. I really do love animals and I know a lot about them. I just want this new company to be successful. I know its going to be very hard but I mean its worth it in the end once I have a good business up and running. Well with me going to have two jobs I hope this is successful. Please pray for me and wish me all the luck you can. I am very nervous about this going on. Thank you!! I will be back on later to tell you all how it went!
