In this episode, I open up about something that’s been on my mind for a long time - the lack of structure, standards, and accountability in the pet care industry.
I’ve seen first hand how much good this industry is capable of, but I’ve also seen what can happen when the wrong people take shortcuts or when basic standards aren’t in place.
This episode isn’t about tearing anyone down. It’s about building something better. I truly believe we can have an industry that’s safe, respected, and sustainable, one that protects not only the animals, but also the professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for them.
I talk about:
Why regulation doesn’t need to be scary, it’s about protecting pets, not limiting businesses.
How raising the bar in professionalism can actually help your business grow.
The steps we can take together to create real change and set a higher standard for everyone.
This episode is part of my Protect Our Pets campaign, a national push to create basic standards across the pet care industry like insurance, pet first aid, and police checks.
It’s something I’m deeply passionate about because I’ve lived this industry from every angle, as a pet sitter, a business owner, and now a mentor.
If you care about animals and the future of our industry, this one’s worth a listen.
