Not sure where to post this... Need recommendations for remote pet-related work

[BoaztheAdventureCat]

I'm a freelance writer and editor specializing in the pet care industry and I also run my own pet care business. I need something to fill in the gaps between pet sitting jobs until I can transition to something better. Do you have any recommendations of where I can go to find more remote writing jobs pertaining to cats and dogs since this is the area I'm most knowledgeable in? Thanks so much!

What about trying the local shelters, rescue and foster groups? I'm sure they would welcome the exposure for adoptions and maybe it could be positive networking for you. Good luck!

Thanks! I have tried emailing some animal shelters and advertising my freelance writing and editing services to them. I haven't received any positive responses yet. I will keep trying.

Perhaps you would get better results if you went there in person. That way you could speak to someone face-to-face and hopefully have greater luck.

This is what I was thinking.
I agree with this 100% because honestly if I worked somewhere and got a random email asking to write their story, I honestly wouldn't pay any attention to it. Probably wouldn't open it depending on the subject of the email..
I really feel that you would have more luck going in person.

Good luck I hope it works out well for you!!!
