Still running your business with sticky notes, spreadsheets, and late-night messages? What if you could turn that chaos into a seamless system that saves you hours, grows your profits, and upsells clients automatically? And what happens when a dog daycare grows 200x in size—and creates the tech to make it all work? In this week's episode, I sit down with long-time Elite members Sarah and Pete Stevens of K9 Adventures and Pawpal UK to reveal how they went from a disorganised dog van full of cash and confusion… to running one of the UK's most advanced, organised, and profitable pet care facilities. They tell the story of how what started for them as a simple dog walking business evolved into a full-service daycare, boarding, grooming, and enrichment centre—powered by their own custom-built app. Sarah and Pete share how Pawpal, the all-in-one pet business platform, was born out of necessity, tested in their own facility, and is now helping daycares across the UK save time, automate admin, and unlock hidden profit through smart upsells. You'll hear the real story behind its creation, the systems that took them from stressed to scalable, and how automation can finally free you up to focus on what you actually enjoy—working with dogs. In this episode, you'll discover: From Van Chaos to A Clear Vision – How a single “cash in the sun visor” moment sparked a complete business transformation. Growth Without Overload – The systems and pricing mindset that helped K9 Adventures scale 200x without losing control. Upsells That Sell Themselves – How their “McDonald's-style” add-ons generate 13.8% of revenue on autopilot. Automation That Pays – Why the right app can save 40+ hours a month and make your admin team obsolete. Tech Meets Trust – How branded apps build client confidence, streamline staff communication, and keep everything running smoothly.

Believe it or not, cats are only about half as likely to see the vet as their canine counterparts. But why is that? What is it about our independent feline friends that keeps so many of them away a little longer than they should? In this episode, host Hannah Shaw sits down with Dr. Michael Kearley, a veterinarian with a soft spot for cats, to unpack the myths and realities of feline health. From the subtle red flags that often go unnoticed, to practical ways to make vet visits less stressful (even if your cat hates the carrier), Dr. Kearley shares everything you need to know to help your cat live a healthier, happier life. Whether you're a seasoned cat owner or just starting your feline journey, this conversation is full of easy tips to make caring for your cat a little simpler and a lot less stressful!

Who actually wins when the pet care industry gets bigger, noisier, and more competitive? We break down how the market has matured, why growth feels harder, and why the old “post on Facebook and wait” playbook no longer works. We introduce three market layers—generic/basic, niche/specialized, and high-end/boutique—and explain how our choices determine the effort and spend it takes to get clients. We share practical tactics like building referral engines, forging one-to-one partnerships with vets, trainers, and boutiques, and crafting high-touch client experiences. Most importantly, we show how clarity about who we serve beats trying to be everywhere at once Main topics: Industry maturity & shifting playbook Three service layers explained Client experience as differentiator Referrals and partnership strategies Avoiding burnout through clarity Main takeaway: “Where you choose to compete determines the effort and money needed to get clients.” If you're fighting for attention in the same crowded “anyone can do it” space, you'll pay more—in dollars and energy. Pick your lane: generic, niche, or boutique. Then design everything—from intake to follow-up—around that choice and the client you serve best. Partnerships, referrals, and a high-touch experience compound when your positioning is crystal clear. Stop trying to be everywhere; be unmistakable to the right people.

Are you still treating enrichment like an optional extra instead of the core of your daycare experience? What would change in your business if you stopped cramming more dogs into the yard — and started charging more for a deeper, more meaningful day? And how much easier would life be if your staff, clients, and dogs were all on board with the same enrichment-first philosophy? In this episode, I sit down with enrichment expert and long-time collaborator Tim Jackson to recap the biggest breakthroughs from the 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit. Together we share how the industry is shifting away from chaos and crowd control — and towards personalised canine curriculums that boost behaviour, profitability, and client loyalty. You'll hear how facilities across the globe are rethinking enrichment from the ground up, why staff engagement is the missing ingredient in most programmes, and how ideas like “scent spaces” and comfort-based enrichment are creating calmer, happier dogs (and much happier teams, not to mention the owners). Me and Tim also tackle the biggest objections — from staff resistance to space constraints — and explain why enrichment is the lever that makes every other part of your business easier to run. In this episode, you'll discover: •    Beyond Snuffle Mats – Why most daycares are barely scratching the surface of what enrichment can be. •    Lessons from the Zoos – How top facilities design activities with purpose, calmness, and natural behaviours in mind. •    Staff Buy-In Made Simple – How the Employee Accelerator model turns enrichment sceptics into champions. •    Innovation in Action – Real-world examples of scent walls, comfort zones, and sensory spaces transforming small facilities. •    The Missing Link – Why you're not “just” providing exercise — you're offering fulfilment, structure, and behavioural balance. If enrichment still feels like “something extra,” this episode will flip that script. It's not the future — it's the standard your clients and dogs already expect. And the sooner you embrace it, the sooner your daycare becomes the one dogs thrive in, not just survive.

What does it really mean to grieve a pet—and how can we do it well? In this deeply moving episode, we talk with Koryn Greenspan, founder of The Parted Paw, about the often overlooked reality of pet loss and the profound emotional toll it takes. Koryn breaks down the distinctions between grief, mourning, and bereavement, and shares how anticipatory grief can offer a healthier path through the end-of-life process. We explore how disenfranchised grief silences many pet parents and why pet professionals need to show up better for their grieving clients. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who's ever loved—and lost—a pet. Main Topics Anticipatory grief and emotional prep Disenfranchised grief in pet loss Using the quality-of-life scale Supporting clients after a pet's death Self-care and compassion fatigue for professionals Main Takeaway: “Everyone's grief is unique. People don't owe you an explanation for their grief… It's your job to show up for it in the best way that you can.” As pet professionals, we often witness clients go through the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion. We don't need the right words—we just need to show up. Whether that means a quiet moment, a handwritten note, or simply being present, your empathy matters. Grief isn't linear, and it's not our job to fix it—just to honor it. Let's be the kind of people who show up. About our guest: Koryn Greenspan is a professional Certified Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist offering Pet Loss Counselling Services, Professional Dog Trainer, Pet Care and Business Advisor. As the founder of The Parted Paw, one of the first pet loss bereavement support services in the country, she is committed to raising awareness about pet loss, disenfranchised grief, the support needed for people whose pets have passed, and helping workplaces foster empathy and understanding for grieving employees who are anticipating or currently grieving the loss of a beloved pet.

What do we do when our business feels broken? In this episode, we share practical ways we as pet sitters and dog walkers can turn setbacks—client complaints, burnout, or sudden revenue dips—into lessons that build resilience. We outline three pillars: extract one lesson from each setback, lean on a support network, and redefine success on our own terms. By scheduling true rest, strengthening policies, and setting aside emergency funds, we can recover with intention. Ultimately, healing is a process, and where we're “broken” can become the strongest part of our business. Main topics: Lessons from business setbacks Scheduling rest and recovery Support networks and vulnerability Tightening policies and finances Redefining success and goals Main takeaway: “Resiliency is really just accumulated recovery.” In pet care, we all face breaks—missed expectations, tough feedback, burnout, or a client who suddenly moves. The win isn't never breaking; it's choosing one lesson, taking one step, and stacking those wins over time. Build white space into your schedule, ask for help before the crisis, and firm up the policies that keep you safe. Keep a resilience journal to track each small comeback—because those layers of recovery become your strongest foundation Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

It can be difficult for people to live sustainably – but what about animals? Is it possible to own a pet and still be sustainable? Kate Hall tackles the question, offering up a few pieces of advice for pet care that takes sustainability into question. Choosing pet food: consider brands using by-products or sustainable protein sources (like Feed My Fur Baby). Compostable poo bags (plus a reusable system I used to have for my dog that involves a little glass jar!) or training cats with eco-friendly/paper litter. Buy second-hand pet gear where possible (toys, beds, crates). There is SO much out there. Think about your pet's impact on local wildlife (especially cats and dogs around native species). Considering if you truly have a lifestyle that will mean the animal will thrive - most people have apartment spaces, so a dog share situation could work better. Pets bring joy and small choices in how we care for them can make a big difference. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do experienced pet business owners actually talk about behind closed doors at leadership events? Is it worth travelling across the Atlantic just to sit in a conference room with people you could speak to on Zoom? And do you ever feel like you know what you need to do, but can never work out how to take action? In this episode, I give you an exclusive peek behind the scenes of the Dog Handler Academy Leadership Summit in Chicago—hosted by Eve Molzhon and attended by some of the most ambitious pet business owners in the country. I talk about the true value of being in the same room as industry-leaders, and why high-level face-to-face conversations beat exchanging messages in a Facebook group. You'll hear from Eve what seasoned business owners are still hungry to learn, how the event created space for deep connection (and serious sales breakthroughs), and why I think this style of focused, strategic gathering is the future of pet industry education. Plus, if you weren't in the room on this occasion you'll still get to hear about my talk ‘The Magic Touch' which covered how you can engineer better customer experiences that set you apart from the competition without breaking the bank. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Being in the Room Still Matters – Why real growth doesn't happen in Facebook groups or Zooms. What Top Owners Are Really Thinking About – Spoiler: it's not Instagram or the latest dog chew fads. Conferences That Don't Suck – How this summit created a genuine buzz and excitement while keeping things real. The Power of 'The Magic Touch' – Why experience-first service is still the biggest lever in your biz, and how to pull it.

"We want to turn cat haters into cat toleraters, and that has worked so well. Even the people who say 'I hate cats.' Okay, that's fine if you hate cats. But don't wish them dead. We're gonna work to keep them out of your yard." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this inspiring episode, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes Joy Smith, founder of FieldHaven Feline Center in Lincoln, California, who shares her remarkable journey from accidentally rescuing a few cats on her street to building a $1.5 million organization that has transformed entire communities. Joy's story begins in 2003 when a simple call to help with trapping led to raising kittens in her barn's tack room, selling them at a local farmer's market, and ultimately creating one of California's most innovative community cat programs. Her evolution from reluctant rescuer to strategic leader offers valuable lessons about growing sustainable, community-focused programs. Joy details FieldHaven's groundbreaking partnership with the Marysville Police Department, which began in 2018 with a goal to spay and neuter every cat in the city. She explains how they overcame initial community resistance through education, implemented a feeding ordinance to address business owner concerns, and created a comprehensive system that includes mobile spay/neuter clinics, vaccine and microchip services, and community resource centers. The program's success demonstrates how strategic thinking, community engagement, and municipal support can transform a city overrun with cats into one operating in maintenance mode with occasional weeks where they can't fill their spay/neuter quota. The conversation also explores Joy's recent transition from executive director to founder and ambassador, sharing the challenges and rewards of succession planning in animal welfare organizations. Her insights about treating nonprofits as businesses, paying competitive salaries to attract talent, and the cultural shift toward recognizing pets as family members offer valuable perspective for leaders navigating organizational growth and sustainability in today's evolving animal welfare landscape.

"A community cat program does not just help cats. You think you're going in there to help cats and you turn out really having more impact on the people in that community." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this insightful episode, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes back Elizabeth Finch, an impact-driven leader who has been transforming community cat programming since 2015. Elizabeth's journey from launching a robust community cat program serving over 4,000 cats annually in metro Atlanta to becoming an educator and consultant offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to create systematic change. Her experience reveals how effective community cat work extends far beyond individual rescue efforts to become a comprehensive approach that benefits both cats and the people who care about them. Elizabeth shares the strategic thinking behind successful community cat programs, emphasizing the importance of moving beyond "onesie-twosie" approaches to tackle entire colonies, neighborhoods, and zip codes systematically. The conversation explores how she and Stacy partnered to create the first-of-its-kind Community Cat Program Management Certification course at University of the Pacific, addressing the gap between skilled trappers and comprehensive program management. Elizabeth discusses the eight-module curriculum that covers everything from funding and marketing to legal roadblocks and public engagement—skills that most passionate trappers never learned but desperately need. The episode also touches on Elizabeth's creative outlets, including her book "Colony Tails: Lessons from the Alley," which captures the human side of community cat work through short stories that honor frontline caretakers. Whether you're running a small TNR group, working in municipal animal services, or considering starting a community cat program, this conversation provides both strategic insights and practical tools for professionalizing this critical work while maintaining its heart and compassion.

Join me for this episode of the show as Melissa Stedman, CVPM of Brandywine Valley Veterinary Hospital, discusses some unique ideas for providing veterinary care despite rising costs. She shares that her practice has unfortunately seen a significant drop in certain services like dentals, spay/neuters, and preventative care as clients struggle with increased financial pressures. To help address this, Melissa's practice focuses on offering clients flexible payment options, including in-house payment plans for established clients. Melissa's practice also uses medical credit card companies and "pay-in-four" style plans to help spread out costs. She highlights the importance of not judging clients' financial situations and instead working to find solutions that provide the necessary care. Her practice also gets creative with bundling services, such as offering discounted packages for medications such as Solensia. She reveals that they have found success in bundling routine lab work as well. While Melissa cautions against devaluing services through free exams, she believes that bundling can be an effective way to make important treatments more accessible, and she also highlights the importance of being transparent with staff, sharing details on expenses and costs, helping to empower staff to be more mindful of waste and capture appropriate charges. Her practice has also found success in offering online booking, which has helped drive more routine visits. Melissa's insights provide practical strategies for veterinary practices dealing with the challenges of rising costs while still prioritizing quality patient care and the human-animal bond. I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Melissa!   This episode is brought to you by CareCredit.

The Pet Care Gold Rush Is Here— Are You Ready? There is a major opportunity for every single Pet Business owner right now like it's never been before. Never before has the playing field being so leveled and technology been so advanced to make your business so unique. In this episode I go back to when I started the podcast in 2014 and take you on a tour of what's changed since then and how technology today can help you catapult your business and set you apart from the competition. In this milestone 450th episode, I take you on a decade-long journey through the evolution of pet care—from basic tech stacks and word-of-mouth marketing to billion-dollar growth, military-grade GPS for dogs, and AI assistants that can book clients while you sleep. I share real stories, like a dog walker who boosted her rates 60% simply by integrating health trackers into her services, proving that technology isn't competition—it's your competitive advantage. I'm breaking down exactly what this gold rush means for you as a pet business owner, and how to either step up and lead, or risk being left in the dust. I'll walk you through mindset shifts, leadership pivots, and why doing things “the old way” just isn't going to cut it anymore. If you feel the pressure of change but don't know how to respond or if you're fired up but don't have a plan—this episode is your wake-up call and your playbook. Timestamps: 1:39 – What the “Pet Care Gold Rush” actually is and why it's happening now 4:28 – Why copying other pet businesses will no longer keep you competitive 9:55 – What leaders are doing differently in today's market 14:03 – The silent killer: hesitation 20:11 – The shift from service provider to industry influencer Notable Quotes "This is the Pet Care Gold Rush. The question is—are you mining or watching?" "If you're still doing what worked in 2019, you're already behind." "The winners in this industry will be the ones who show up, speak up, and scale up."

Transcript Welcome back to not just another episode of Bella in your Business. It's the 450th episode. I'm sorry, what? If you asked me back in 2014 if I would be sitting here in 2025 on my 450th podcast episode, or if I looked at this and said, “Hey, I'm going to do a podcast episode for 10 years, with 450 episodes, mostly done by myself except for the 100 where I was always interviewing people”? I think you're absolutely lost your marbles. Welcome to the 450th episode of Bella in your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, and welcome. And it's a hell of a milestone — not because of the number, but because it literally marks a whole decade of evolution in pet care. From basic text reminders to AI that predicts your pet's health. I literally started this podcast when pet sitting was still considered... well, it wasn't really that professional. I mean, it was professional, but society didn't really take it seriously yet. Now we're looking at smart collars that track heart rates and AI that handles customer service if you let it, or know how to. According to Grand View Research, the global industry is worth 2.94 billion with a B in 2025. But here's what really blows my mind: in 2014 we were mostly concerned with getting clients booked online instead of calling. In 2025, our clients now expect real-time GPS tracking. The game's completely changed. I wanted to take this episode to go back in time. I've done a lot of research, a lot of fact-checking. We're going to hear exactly how the entire industry went from not being well respected — like, “oh, that's a cute job” — to being a billion-dollar rocket fuel, and why you,

“You have to earn a cat's love and respect—and when you do, you have it forever.” – Dr. Nicole Liebman This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this inspiring episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Dr. Nicole Liebman and Ron Coughlin, the passionate duo behind PAD Home Pet Services—a pioneering in-home pet care company dedicated to making veterinary support more accessible and compassionate, especially for cats. Dr. Liebman, a lifelong animal lover and veterinary oncologist, shares her deep respect for feline behavior and the importance of minimizing stress during care. Alongside Ron Coughlin, former CEO of Petco and current animal welfare advocate, the pair explore how PAD's in-home model meets critical needs in underserved communities—reducing stress for cats, supporting overburdened clinics, and empowering veterinary technicians. They unpack staggering industry realities—like how over half of all cats never see a veterinarian each year—and share how PAD fills the gap by providing services such as nail clipping, hospice support, post-surgical care, and more, all within the comfort of a pet's home. The episode highlights collaborations with rescue groups like Little Wanderers and emphasizes how this innovative model is already expanding beyond New York City. Listeners will also gain a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of veterinary care deserts, technician shortages, and how PAD's community-focused, tech-driven model aims to be a game-changer—without sacrificing the personal, heart-centered care that animals deserve. Whether you're a cat lover, rescuer, or industry professional, this conversation will leave you inspired to reimagine what accessible, compassionate pet care can look like.

Dr. Dana Varble, Chief Veterinary Officer for the North American Veterinary Community, joins Lisa Dent to talk about breeding pets, shelters, and a new Ohio law that removes barriers to pet care. And, as always, Dr. Varble answers pet questions from listeners.

What happens when pet sitters and independent veterinarians start working together more intentionally? Dr. Christie Cornelius, Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association, joins the show to discuss the unique challenges and strengths of independently owned veterinary practices. She explores how pet sitters can play a pivotal role in improving pet health outcomes through strong communication and observation. The conversation covers evolving veterinary trends, AI integration, and practical ways to establish partnerships between sitters and clinics. Dr. Cornelius shares how trust, storytelling, and showing up consistently can build lasting community relationships. Main Topics Independent veterinary clinic challenges Pet sitter-veterinarian collaboration AI in veterinary care Building trust and communication End-of-life and hospice pet care Main takeaway: “What they want is they want to be invited into your mission, and they want to participate in that, and then showing them how care is actually a collective act builds those lasting bonds.” As pet sitters, we often feel like we're doing it all on our own. But the truth is, the most powerful care happens when we collaborate. Pet parents are craving connection and clarity—they want to know that their sitter, their vet, and everyone involved in their pet's life are on the same page. When we open the door to cooperation, we don't just lighten our load—we build bonds that benefit the pet most. Invite others into your mission. That's where the magic happens. About our guest: Dr. Christie Cornelius is a veterinarian with over two decades of experience, currently serving as the Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association. After founding Texas's first water-based pet cremation and home hospice care business, she sold her practice to help launch BluePearl's national pet hospice program. Now, she focuses on consulting and empowering other independent vets through leadership, business strategy, and community collaboration. Based on Galveston Island, Dr. Cornelius also provides in-home veterinary services in her local area. Links: https://www.iveterinarians.org Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

“Whether it's a pet cat, a feral cat, or a wildcat—they all deserve care and respect. TNVR isn't just about controlling populations; it's about preserving a legacy.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this compelling episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron speaks with Lara Semple, field team member of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's “Saving Wildcats” project. Based at the Highland Wildlife Park, this initiative is leading the charge in restoring the critically endangered European wildcat to the Scottish Highlands. Lara shares her lifelong passion for feline welfare, tracing her journey from growing up in a boarding cattery to spearheading cutting-edge conservation work. She dives into the complexities of hybridization between wild and domestic cats, the challenges of reintroducing a species on the brink of extinction, and how their team uses GPS collars, soft-release techniques, and intensive field monitoring to give wildcats a fighting chance. Listeners will also learn how TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) practices are strategically used to prevent genetic dilution from domestic cats, a major threat to wildcat survival. Lara explains the licensing hurdles, community outreach, and behavioral assessments involved in identifying and managing feral cat populations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation, community cat management, and the delicate dance of coexistence between humans and wildlife. It's an inspiring look at science, compassion, and collaboration at work in one of the UK's most rugged and breathtaking landscapes.

“They're not homeless. They know exactly where their home is, and they've chosen to be there. We're literally returning them home—vaccinated and spayed—so it's a win for the cat, the shelter, and the neighborhood.” - Karen Little This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this special on-location episode of the Community Cats Podcast, Stacy LeBaron brings you to the bustling Humane World for Animals Expo in Las Vegas for a candid, practical conversation on the future of Return-to-Field (RTF) and community cats. Joined by Karen Little of Alley Cat Advocates and Bryan Kortis of Neighborhood Cats, this episode breaks down what RTF really means, why it remains one of the field's most pressing challenges, and how shelters of all sizes can adapt best practices while navigating real-world limitations. Karen and Bryan, each with decades of frontline TNR and shelter collaboration experience, explore the tension between “gold standard” individual cat assessments and the operational realities of crowded shelters. They emphasize the importance of gathering quality intake information, partnering with communities, and maintaining flexibility during kitten seasons, all while ensuring the welfare of cats remains central. The episode also unpacks the misconceptions around RTF, the critical difference between TNR and RTF, and the complexities of assessing “friendly” cats in the shelter environment. Whether you're a large urban shelter manager or a small grassroots TNR organizer, this conversation will leave you with a clearer, practical understanding of how RTF can reduce euthanasia, manage overpopulation, and align with your community's needs. Tune in for insights, humor, and a real-time feel of Expo energy as you learn actionable strategies to strengthen your community cat programs and advocate effectively for cats wherever you are.

This week, Jason is joined by  veterinarian, entrepreneur, and podcast host, Dr. Josie Horchak! Josie has over 15 years of experience in the vet field and is a renowned vet for the exceptional care she provides her patients. Most recently, Dr. Josie stepped away from owning her own clinics to focus on providing quality concierge vet services to a smaller group of clients in Nashville with her company, The Concierge Vet. With this company, she offers at-home wellness and sick visits, telemedicine consults, and more, all at the comfort of the patient's home. In addition to work as a vet, Dr. Josie added podcast host to her resume when she started In The Vet's Office.  Dr. Josie opens up about her journey through the demanding world of veterinary medicine—from the years of schooling and financial investment it requires, to the lesser-known pay gap between vets and human doctors. She breaks down the typical career path in the field, the emotional and physical toll it can take, and what truly drives someone to choose this profession. Dr. Josie also shares what every pet owner should understand before stepping into a clinic, the difference between owning a practice and working in one, and how she built her own concierge-style pet care model. She discusses turning her anxiety into a strength, why pet insurance is a must from day one, and the overlooked importance of dental health in animals. Plus, she offers heartfelt advice on navigating tough end-of-life decisions for pets and answers listener questions on all things furry and four-legged from the Money Mafia community. Dr Josie reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
