I was talking with my dad today and he told me about a lady who ran a Kennel service. In her back yard she has like a gated area of like 5 or so dog kennels. each one has a place where they can go like under cover/inside of course and a little room for them. She charges something like $12 a night to take care of peoples pets. If she has 5 kennels and is getting $12 for each one thats 60 bucks for VERY little work. most people are going to leave their dog for more than a night. She also does cats and those can just stay inside not sure if she does same price but... Anyway advertising is fuckin easy too because she can make flyers and just go to all the areas pet stores and vets to get her name out.
im moving to a new college town with some friends and hoping to get some sort of thing like this going maybe something geared toward younger people my age though... anyone else got any ideas? anything helps. lets share and maybe something good can come out of something else.

You would need a kennel licence to be able to do that and you actually have to check with the zoning board also to make sure that you are zoned for a kennel.
There is a reason why most kennels are outside of town..reason being..kennels = dogs, dogs = barking hence disturbing your neighbors.
You would also need to know a little something about dogs, how to tell if they are sick etc. You would also need a lawyer to write up a release for your customers to sign to relieve you of any resposibiity in case one of the dogs get hurt/sick.
Also, you would need to find a vet nearby and make arrangements so that if any of the dogs become ill/injured that you can take them there. Who pays if something like this happens? The owner? If it is the owner then you need to find a vet willing to do emergency care on dogs without the owners permission and who would be willing to do the work and wait for payment...which may nor may not come.
You would have to clean up a lot of dog shit, hose down the kennels at least once per day and to keep things clean and disease free. Dogs need feeding according to the schedules they normally eat, which can be 3 times per day for some. Many kennels also offer walking of the dogs etc. It isn't a matter of throwing up a bit of a fence and then start raking in the money without doing anything further.
Not trying to rain on your parade here, just being realistic. I know a bit about dogs and kennels.
