Helping independent dog walkers stop guessing what to do next and build profitable, sustainable businesses. Or because they post on social media every day.

FREE GUIDE FOR NEW DOG WALKERS ⬇️
https://poochplaytime.myflodesk.com/ww11dhkchf Hey, I'm Cath. 👋

I help independent dog walkers build profitable, sustainable businesses that owners remember. After building my own dog business from the ground up, I became fascinated by one question...
Why do some dog walking businesses continue growing while others struggle? Over the years I've realised it isn't usually because they're the cheapest. The businesses that grow are the ones that stand out, get found and give owners a reason to choose them. That's exactly what I share here. You'll find practical tips, business ideas and real-world lessons to help you attract more enquiries and build a business you're proud of. And make sure to grab my FREEBIE ➡️ Fill Your Diary

Knowing your real hourly rate is step 1.

Step 2 is picking which lever to pull:
💷 Price: charge for the hour, not the walk
🗺️ Route: group clients by area and day
📋 Policies: cancellations and late payments that actually get paid

Which one would make the biggest difference to you right now? 👇

What's the daftest message a client has sent you? 🙈

I'll start (made up, but I bet someone's had it):
"Can you pop round now? He's looking at me funny."

3 hidden hours in every dog walker's week:
🚗 Driving between walks
🧺 Drying, feeding, keys and gates
📱 Messages, bookings and invoices

None of them are paid. All of them are work.

Add them up for just one day this week. What's your total? 👇

The message walkers dread writing:
A cancellation an hour before the walk. 😩

Here's one you can copy:
"No worries at all, I hope everything's OK. Just a reminder that cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice are charged in full, as per my T&Cs. See you on [day]!"

Kind. Clear. Done.

The What Do I Say?! pack has 25+ messages like this, for price rises, late payers, holidays and saying no. £17 👇
