With low start-up costs and overheads (most franchisees work from home), the Cat Butler franchise can be a highly profitable cat sitting business. Most clients use us repeatedly (because of the excellent service that we provide), so the business income increases each year in line with the increase in our client base.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"flexible-business-model-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"flexible-business-model\"><\/span>Flexible business model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most clients are flexible about the times of the day that our cat sitting and home care services are delivered so the business can be operated in a way to suit you and your lifestyle and family commitments. If you are an early bird, you can work early mornings, or if you have children, you can work during school hours. It\u2019s easy to plan the day to avoid the peak traffic times, and any admin work can be carried out at a time to suit you. Initially, you will probably provide all of the cat care services yourself.
