Funding Usage
Expansion. I would invest directly into strengthening the foundation of my pet care business by funding additional certifications and specialized trainings for my team, improving the quality and range of services we offer.

Additionally, investing in the development and refinement of a custom app to streamline scheduling, communication, and overall client convenience and experience. This level of $50,000 of funding would allow us not only to grow, but to elevate the standard of professional pet care in the community.

Business Plan
Over the next five years, my plan is to steadily grow the business in a sustainable way. Starting with expanding my team and ensuring every member receives advanced certifications so we can offer a higher level of care and more specialized services. I’ll continue to invest in marketing and networking to increase visibility, build partnerships, and reach more families in surrounding communities. As we grow, I plan to introduce improved systems, including a custom app, to streamline scheduling, communication, and client experience. Ultimately, my goal is to build a trusted, well-trained team, expand geographic service areas as well as services offered and become the leading, reliable resource for pet care in our region while maintaining the compassion, quality, and personal connection the business was built on. Investors should feel confident investing in me because I’ve already proven that this business has the potential to grow, quickly. In just a short time, I’ve expanded purely through word-of-mouth referrals, which speaks to the quality, trust, and consistency of the care we provide. I am disciplined, honest, and deeply committed to doing things the right way, not the fast way. In addition I have a highly reputable business mentor guiding my growth and helping me make strategic decisions so the expansion is intentional, sustainable, and aligned with long-term success. I care about the animals, the clients, my team and the community I serve. I’m driven by passion as much as I am by professionalism. With support, I’m ready to scale this business into something bigger, something that sets a new standard in pet care and continues to grow in value and impact.

Self Identified Competition
Rover is my biggest competitor. An Uber style app for dog walking and pet sitting. Lots and lots of issues with this style but people use it because of its convenience. This is why I’m looking to increase our visibility and convenience via an app. What sets us apart from competitors is simple, we provide consistent, reliable service backed by certifications and years of professional, relevant experience. In addition I carry full insurance for the clients’ peace of mind. But beyond credentials, we focus on personal touches; getting to know each pet and their family, anticipating needs, and going above and beyond to ensure every experience feels thoughtful and special. My goal isn’t just to provide a service, it’s to build trust, connection, and a standard of care that truly stands out in the industry.
