How I Worked Less and Made More Money in My Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business

I recently wrote an article for Thrive Global (Arianna Huffington’s online magazine) and wanted to share it with you pet sitters and dog walkers. I’ve had a lot of you ask me how I went from working 7 days a week to working 3 days a week in my pet sitting and dog walking business.

Here’s the article that addresses that topic. (Click on the link below to read the rest of the article.)

In 1995, I started the business of my dreams with lots of passion but no business experience of any kind. That first year I had lots of time but almost no money. A few years in, I had plenty of clients but hardly any time. Friends and family often complimented me on my business success, but I didn’t feel successful. To me, success was having both time and money. I was working 12-14 hour days seven days a week and still not making much compared to when I worked full-time as an employee.  

I was exhausted, frustrated and ready to call it quits, but instead I committed to one more year and to making fundamental changes in how I ran the business. If I didn’t have both time and money by the end of that year, I decided I would just walk away. Having nothing to lose freed me to try both traditional and nontraditional approaches to create more time and more money. CLICK TO READ THE ARTICLE..

Six-Figure Pet Sitting Academy in the NEWS!

It’s an exciting time over here at Six-Figure Pet Sitting Academy! 🙂

Here’s what’s up:

Last month I got a call from a MarketWatch reporter who found my Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers on Amazon.

The story came out a few days ago. Yahoo Financial saw the story and they asked if they could interview me for their TV show. I’m flying to New York this week to do that.

I’m organizing an informal meet up with pet business owners in NYC on Thursday, September 12 at 4:30pm – 6:30pm at the Starbucks at this address: 13-25 Astor Pl, New York, NY 10003
