Is This Community Right for You?
The Pawsitive Pet Business Community is built for pet sitters and dog walkers who are doing the work, wearing all the hats, and trying to figure out what comes next.
The Community is open to everyone from the dreaming & planning phase to those with small teams.
You’re a solo pet sitter or dog walker, or newer to having a team
You’re thinking about hiring or just starting to build a team
You want help with pricing, boundaries, systems, clients, hiring, and confidence
You want real answers from someone who has actually built a pet care business
The Pawsitive Pet Business Community in NOT ideal for:
People looking for instant overnight results
Anyone who only wants to vent but not take action
Growing a Pet Business Can Get Lonely Fast
Most pet business owners don’t struggle because they’re lazy or incapable. They struggle because they’re trying to figure everything out alone.
You’re answering client messages, doing visits, managing last-minute changes, wondering if your prices are too low, trying to set boundaries without losing clients, and maybe starting to think about hiring…but every next step feels like a whole new can of worms.
That’s why this community exists.
Doug has spent the last 12+ years building his own award winning pet care business, learning every lesson the hard way so you don’t have to.
Inside the Pawsitive Pet Business Community, you’ll get access to Doug, other pet business owners, and practical guidance you can actually use in your business this week.
This is not a giant, noisy Facebook group. It’s a focused support space for pet sitters and dog walkers who are building stronger foundations one smart decision at a time.
