You’ll join the private Facebook group created just for this class after you sign up!
Do you want to start a pet sitting or dog walking business, or have you recently started a pet business?
OR
Have you had your pet sitting or dog walking business for many years, but it’s just not as profitable or enjoyable as you’d like it to be?
"I thoroughly enjoyed the 30-Day Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Challenge. It kept me focused and disciplined.
I loved the connection with the group and my study buddy."
The 30-Day Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business Challenge is designed to propel your pet business forward in 2023, and I’m so excited to share this experience with you! You’ll receive daily action steps and videos on the private Facebook group to propel your pet business forward, and I’ll be connecting with you on Facebook LIVE several times during the month to celebrate your progress and address challenges and questions that arise… plus you’ll receive so much more!
This is a fun, supportive, and effective way to achieve your pet business goals and be accountable for your progress… and this 30-day challenge is about so much more than just business. You’ll also gain a wonderful community of likeminded pet sitters and dog walkers, as well as some highly effective tools to help you take care of YOU while you’re starting or expanding your business.
Get ready to accept the challenge and see what a difference 30 days can make in your pet sitting or dog walking business.
I can’t wait to see what you create this September!
