She is not nuts, people cut hair in their homes all the time. as well as nails and babysit too. Plastercraze is like ceramics for children not as breakable. They pick a paster piece and then paint it it is a lot of fun good luck with your venture!

Oh, ok. Yes I think the Plastercraze would be a great business. You could host kids parties in you home or go to thier home and have them provide thier own cake so you do not need any kind of special food license.

Thanks for you supportive comments on dog boarding business. It is not your typical "kennel boarding" operation. Just a up to 6 small dogs at a time and they are always loved and supervised. They are not left outdoors to bark like crazy and bother anyone. They are totally pampered.

They bust an illegal Cuban Dentists in South Florida like once a month. Like I said give me an F'n break.

I have not heard about the naii salon incident or teh Botox people, Yikes. I do have a business license. It is easy enough to get. You just go to the county clerk and file for $30 and run and ad int he paper for $50 and walllha you have a business license. Yes I have talked to my tax guy and all is good. I will pay taxs on my income.

Ok Mr. Potty Mouth Macguy, you would be kissin the ground I walked on if you had a neighbor like me Moderator cut: personal attack

And what are you licensed for, is it to run a kennel? Have you had inspections, I would think they would be required for such a business. What you describe sounds like all you did was apply for a fictitious name. Don't bother praying for me the last thing we need in Florida is just another unlicensed business operator. Doesn't sound too fair to all the kennel operators who are trying to run a legitimate business and follow the law. Oh, and pay those taxes, we also have enough under the table illegals down here now not paying.

Walllah you have a business license? Please you are brighter then that. "I think I will go in the roofing business, no maybe I will open a tanning salon, 50 bucks and walllah I have a license". Of course zoning, or code enforcement have nothing to say about it. "Heck, I'm raising kids and need the money, no one will really care". God how people can rationalize their own selfish interests. Sorry but as a guy who has been in business for almost his whole life this dead beat crap get to me.

6x6 kennels are great, but the only problem is we have no basements here in Fla .
I remember when someone asked me "well if you don't have basements where do you keep your "stuff" "
They thought I was joking when I said "under our roofs"

ok back on track here, you might want to check with your Home Owners policy to see if you would need extra coverage. Insurance companies here use any reason at all to drop people and with the challenge of trying to get and keep HOI in this state especially in south FL. This would be something you would want to keep in mind.

Seems to me the daycare/kennel in Tampa was charging something like 20 a day for daycare. I know I paid $20 a day at the vet for boarding and a little less for daycare.

I think the biggest issue is where you would keep the kennels since there are no basements in FL.

Yeah, I thought about the no basement thing. I am not sure we may need to turn a dining room into a kennel area. The only time they are sometimes noisy is at night while we are sleeping. Most of the time the dogs are not in their kennel area or if they are dogs that do not get along with other we really tire them out so they are pretty zonked and sleeping.

Like I said we are not at all the typical boarding facitlity. We even have some customers that sleep with my older daughters when we have customers that are "extra pampered" their owners do not like them in a kennel. So as long as they are house broken that is fine with us and of course friendly. One customer is coming tomorrow and does not want her dog kenneled so she is bringin a doggie diaper, LoL, just in case .

I charge $16 a night. Day care is $13.00 for the day.

Thanks for the link on business license I will definatley check it out.



Mr/Mrs? Macguy, try to calm down a bit. I am not taking over the dog boarding business. I am not doing anything illegal. I think it is unfair of you to assume I am some kind of sca**er. What I do is simple. People bring thier doggies and I watch them and take awesome care of them because I really care. Yes, I pay taxes I after all am not nuts.

When my children are all in school full time that is the plan. The thing is I dont need a huge giant business right now as I have 5 children and not the time. I also love having the dogs I care for right here with me in my home. The get that extra special attention that way. That is why most of the people that come to me come. They like the idea of thier doggie being in a home with a caring family while they are away.

While I am doing this in my home I will be thinking of how to set a business up out side the home one day and be able to give that same clean comfy attentive care that I do now.

I board my dogs four or five times a year. I paid around $35-40 per day for each dog. Palm Beach Paw Spa is what I use. I trust them 100%. My dogs also go there twice a week for daycare. So they know their staff well. I try to attend all the fun activities they organized in their facility.
I also boarded my dogs in a home before. They had all the crates lined against each other in their living room. They let dog go out in small group to play in their yard. But most of time, the dogs were kept in their crates. They told me that their kids walked my dog and cleaned the crates. I don’t think they are bad when compared with other places. I also paid $200 additional so they would teach my dog swim. I thought it was a good activity for my dogs when they were away from home. Long story short, when I picked up my dogs, I sent my dogs to a vet for a check and with some tear, I made a promise that I will never send my dogs there again (I paid $35/day for each dog). My dogs now won’t even go close to our pool. Some family run business promised a lot but who knows what is going on…
Recently, I get acquainted with a dog trainer. She only accepts two dogs. She is expensive. She has invited me to visit her home. I can visit anytime I want. If she passes my random visits, I will board my dog there. I would like someone keep eye on my dogs in night too (this is the reason; I am interested in boarding my dogs in a home. But I don’t want my dogs in their crates all the time or be put away somewhere in the night so the caretaker won’t hear their cry. If so, I would rather board them in a daycare where they can play all day). This is just my opinion as a customer.
