A. Even if your grandma gave the family member who wants to put her into a home a medical power of attorney, she can revoke that if she is of sound mind. There is a concern about who will provide adequate care for your grandmother when she comes home from the hospital. Depending on her conditions, provisions can be made for home care. Contact your local senior services office to ask what sort of support they can offer. Does someone need to be with your grandmother all the time? If so, can the ones who want to help her stay at home take turns? Social service people in the hospital seem to want to push the elderly into nursing homes right away. It makes you wonder whether the nursing homes are giving them commissions. When the… [cont.]

How do how cat sitting services place liability on the pet owner in the case of flea infestation?
Q. I'm setting up a cat sitting service, and need information on: 1.) At least two other ways (apart from deposits and contracts) that cat sitting services place liability on the pet owner in the case that there is a flea infestation (of staff and premises) from a client's cat. 2.) How much they charge the client for a deposit to cover possible flea infestation.

A. Take a look at the pet sitting market and get some ideas from them. Call up a few of the sitting services and ask about the pricing for flea infestation scenarios. Most boarding locations will not accept a pet that does have a flea problem. That is done to prevent other pets from developing flea problems and to keep the staff healthy. If you are able to obtain a copy of a pet sitting agreement from one of the established firms, you would have a better legal idea of what you are dealing with.

A. I recommend visiting scrapbooking forums and posting your services on their sites, if the forum rules allow it. Alternatively, do you have a website? There are many hosting companies that can help you create a website even with average computer experience. Alternatively, have you considered attending your community fairs this spring and summer to have a booth? You might contact your local city government and find out if you can teach a class for free on scrapbooking how-to's for the community rec center. Go to senior centers, church groups, and volunteer to teach them. You'll have a chance to introduce yourself and tastefully tell them you offer these services. Don't make it a strong sales job, just get your name out there. -Mark … [cont.]
