  • Back Then, We Had NO Idea...
    Jun 30 2025

    Send us a text

    In this heartfelt and often hilarious episode, Josh and Sam reflect on how their pet care businesses began—not with a grand vision, but from simple needs, passion, and a little bit of chaos.

    Key Highlights:

    • How it all started:
      Sam launched her cat-sitting business after needing care for her own five cats. Josh found his path to dog training through a chance opportunity and an early mentor who told him, “You were meant to do this.”
    • Side hustles to full-time:
      Both began their businesses as side gigs, juggling jobs, school, and long commutes. Growth was slow but steady—and filled with sacrifices (think $5 training sessions and Christmases spent working).
    • The role of passion:
      Entrepreneurship, they agree, requires a touch of madness. They recall long hours, burnout, fast food, and doubt—but also the drive to build something meaningful, not just profitable.
    • When it got real:
      Josh credits early clients like Sidney and Kevin for boosting his confidence and allowing him to go full-time. Sam grew her team gradually before finally quitting her office job six years later.
    • What keeps them going:
      They talk honestly about money, burnout, imposter syndrome, and being misunderstood by non-entrepreneurs—but ultimately, they’re driven by impact, connection, and the belief that this work changes lives.
    • About PetPreneur University (PETU):
      The episode closes with an update on their new project: a training program for pet industry pros that blends real-world experience with mentorship.

  • Mental Health In The Pet Industry
    May 21 2025

    Send us a text

    In this heartfelt episode, Josh and Sam dive into a topic that’s rarely discussed but deeply felt in the pet industry: mental health.

    From the emotional toll on veterinarians and pet sitters to the burnout and impostor syndrome many dog trainers face, this conversation gets real about the hidden weight professionals carry while caring for animals.

    They explore the pressure of client expectations, the reality of compassion fatigue, and the isolation many feel behind the scenes.

    Plus, they introduce Petpreneur University—a new resource for pet pros looking to thrive, not just survive. Whether you're a vet, groomer, trainer, or animal lover, this one’s for you!
