From Graphics to Gentle Pet Care: Sarah Enright of Abby Bubba Pet Care with a Gentle Touch

Host Guelda Redman interviews Sarah Enright, owner-operator of Abby Bubba Pet Care with a Gentle Touch, about her shift from a 27-year graphics career to full-time pet sitting and dog walking starting in January 2018. Sarah, originally from Ontario and now in the Fraser Valley, explains the business name—Bubba was her dog, and Abby was her first Rover client—and describes her niche serving rescue pets, nervous/reactive dogs, senior animals, and pets needing medication or in-home care. She shares a story about caring for Maggie and her anxious “brothers” Joe and Hank, building trust through calm support, and discusses using the Tellington TTouch method to communicate with an animal’s nervous system and promote calm. Sarah highlights business strategies including word of mouth, testimonials, networking, in-person meet-and-greets, and requiring upfront payment, and recommends professional associations and training for new pet-care entrepreneurs while emphasizing the value of supportive women’s networking communities.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:50 Sarah’s Background Story02:57 How Abby Bubba Began05:17 Niche Caring for Sensitive Pets10:05 A Nervous Dog Success Story13:43 Tellington TTouch Explained17:06 Getting Clients and Systems20:40 Starting a Pet Care Business23:42 Power of Women’s Networking29:15 Final Thanks and Call to ActionContact Linkwww.bcwomensbusinessnetwork.com/sarah-enright
