Is it really possible to run a full-time dog-sitting business?

Short answer: absolutely. Longer answer: absolutely — when you do it the right way.

The 5 Things I’d Do This Year to Build a Thriving Dog Sitting Business

If you’re thinking about starting a dog-sitting business… Or you’re already dog sitting and wondering why it still feels messy, underpaid, or exhausting… This episode is for you.

Because here’s the thing...

Dog sitting absolutely can become a full-time, reliable, profitable business — but only when you stop treating it like a casual side hustle and start building it with intention.

2026 is not the year to wing it.

It’s not the year to say yes to everything. And it’s definitely not the year to undercharge and hope it works out later.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the five things I would do if I were starting my dog-sitting business again in 2026 — and what I’d do differently, faster, and with far more confidence.

These are the foundations I now teach inside Paws to Profit, and they’re the exact shifts that took my own business from “busy but chaotic” to fully booked, profitable, and sustainable.

So let’s get into it.
