Hello! I am thinking of opening a house watching business. My first question is,
do you suggest that I become licensed and bonded?  If so, how do I go
about doing this? Who do I contact? When I look in the phone book, it
looks like most of the bonding is for contractor's. Can you help me
with this?
Thanks

I assume you mean "house-sitting" ??

I've had two service businesses, and this is who I used:

Insurance and bond are available from them.

I linked you to a page that I think you might be interested in. Let me
know if you want me to find a couple competitors and post them as your
answer.

Here's their Home Page:
