Main topics: Starting and Scaling Challenges Building and Managing a Team Strategic Business Adaptations Planning for Future Growth Main takeaway: It's not about the numbers. It's about making sure every pet we care for feels loved and every client feels understood. About our guest: I've had pets my whole life. Growing up we had several dogs, cats, rabbits & ducks, and a couple of lambs for a time. My grandparents even had a pair of pet skunks and a woodchuck! I loved horseback riding at the local stable and visiting the calves at the dairy farm. As an adult, being a military family (now retired) we were more limited, but our dogs and cats have always been a part of our family. I have experience with the young and old ones, the well and not-so-well. In our house, we've dealt with allergies, auto-immune disorders, Addison's disease, Cushings, arthritis, hip dysplasia, cancer(s), kidney disease, UTIs, surgeries, physical therapy, alternative therapies, the list goes on. I understand the level of care and gentle handling they require. Links: [email protected] https://ohmydogsitters.com https://www.facebook.com/ohmydogsitters/ Buy PSC Merch Give us a call!
