273: Finding Hope in Pet Care with Pack Pals

We all have our own way of joining the pet care industry. Abagail was given hope when she started as a dog walker for a company, but several years later found herself taking over ownership of it. She now runs Pack Pals NY and talks about her experience of growing into a management role and what it means to see change in yourself, without losing yourself. She shares what it means to fight for legitimacy in pet care and why we need to set appropriate boundaries. She gives advice on how our businesses can help others, instead of only thinking about what they do for us. Topics on this episode: From dog walker to owner Scared to ask for help Mid-day walks Fighting for legitimacy Favorite parts of running a business Main take away? Stand up for yourself.
