You should live in an ample-sized house with a fenced-in yard for your boarded dogs to get exercise. You should also be prepared to let the boarded dogs have free roam; this is the idea behind private home boarding. You should have experience caring for dogs as a dog owner or professional.
You should be at home most of the time except for short absences to run errands and take care of business. Going out to dinner or a movie is also OK. Find out what permits/licenses are required to board dogs in your city and obtain them. Sometimes you may not need a permit if you are boarding no more than three dogs at a time including your own. It will also be a good idea to obtain pet sitter's insurance.
Decide if you would prefer to be an independent dog boarder or register with a company that will arrange clients for you. A company will require that you meet specific criteria to be certified as a host. See Resources below for one such company, Sleepover Rover, which has outlets in several western states. You can apply to be a host on their website.
