What are some good ways to advertise a pet sitting buisness?

I have just started my pet business, and I am trying to find more places to advertise, I've already hit websites like craigslist, pet-sitters.biz, and dog geek, however I would like some more websites or any Other ways to get my pet sitting business known. If you have any ideas please post them here, your replies will be greatly appreciated!

Go around your area and put fliers in mailboxes. Also, posters or a paper with phone number tabs at all the area grocery stores or places that have bulletin boards.

If even one or two people take you up on it, the word will get out.

At least these forms of advertisements don't cost a thing.

OH! Pet stores! Sometimes they let you put up fliers.

    Make appointments to meet local vets in your area, and come prepared with a marketing package for each of them. Leave flyers and business cards behind for them to give out to patients.

    Put ads in your local newspaper or your local pet store.

    Most pet stores will let you display a poster advertising your services. Also, vets have bulliten boards that you can pin flyers to. Actually- so do some supermarkets and drug stores. Make flyers with your number and your rates, and put them up wherever you can!
