Do you work or dream of working with animals but want to deepen your knowledge? 💫 You’re in the right place 🐾 Hi, I’m Jessica - when I was just 14 years old, I started my first pet business. Since then, I’ve built a small pet boarding business, a cattery, dog walking services, multiple home boarding businesses and now a thriving dog daycare - all from scratch with minimal help or investment. Here in this community you’ll get: ✨ Free tips, tricks & resources to kickstart your animal-care career ✨ Honest, practical advice from someone who’s been there ✨ Support from like-minded people who love animals as much as you do Whether you’re looking to get better in your current role, gain skills for future career goals, start or streamline your own business or simply exploring your options, this is the place to learn, grow and get inspired. 🐕🐾 Let’s jump in!!! To get you started, comment the following below: 1️⃣ Your name and where you’re from 🐾 2️⃣ Photo of your pet(s) 📸 3️⃣ Your job or dream animal based career 🐱 4️⃣ What’s stopping you / How can we help? 🙏

Recruiting isn’t just about filling a position — it’s about finding people who genuinely fit your business 💛 In pet care especially, the wrong person can completely change the energy of your team (and the dogs will pick up on it instantly!). Here are a few tips I’ve learned from experience 👇 💬 1️⃣ Look for attitude over experience You can train skills, but you can’t teach kindness, common sense, or work ethic. I’d always rather hire someone who’s eager to learn and genuinely loves dogs than someone who’s “done it all before” but won’t follow your way of working. 🐾 2️⃣ Watch how they interact with animals You can tell a lot from body language. Do they move calmly and confidently? Are they gentle but firm? The best handlers connect with dogs naturally, not forcefully. 🧽 3️⃣ Ask about the “boring bits” Everyone loves the fun side of pet care, but make sure they’re realistic about the cleaning, weather, and early starts. People who say, “I don’t mind getting dirty” usually last the longest 😅 🤝 4️⃣ Trust your gut If something feels off — it usually is. You can sense when someone’s energy doesn’t fit your culture. Don’t ignore that instinct. 🌟 5️⃣ Hire for who they’ll become, not just who they are A great hire is someone who grows with your business. Ask yourself: Will this person still be a good fit six months from now? I’d love to hear how you guys do it - feel free to share your own tips below!

Just wanted to introduce myself in person! Like I say if you want to contact me I’m more than happy to offer assistance 🫶🏼

Hey DigiDoggers! 👋🐾 I just wanted to jump on and give you a little update because I know I haven’t posted as much on here the past week or so. (Which I know is not like me!!) Life and business have both been FULL ON behind the scenes. Between running Sniffers, sorting staffing, planning new services, interviewing dog trainers, organising events, managing growth targets, planning an refurb at the dog daycare and juggling family life… it’s been a whirlwind. 😂 But don’t worry - I’m still here, still building, still creating, and still obsessed with helping you all grow your pet businesses. 🌟 What’s been happening - Lots of interviews and behind the scenes decisions for daycare and dog walking. - We have a whole new team of dog walkers who I’ve been trialling and training this week! - Planning new training services and still recruiting for a dog trainer - Working on my own business growth targets - Managing some personal life bits (mum life never stops 💛) - Creating new content and resources for you 🐶 so what’s coming next… I’ve got fresh content, new lessons, and some super practical tools coming very soon. There are also a few surprises I think you’ll love. 👀 💬 In the meantime… Tell me in the comments: What’s one thing you’re working on this week in your business? I’ll jump in and give you support where I can. Thanks for being patient with me. You’re all incredible and I love seeing how committed you are to growing your businesses. We’re in this together 💛🐾✨ — Jess

Hey everyone 👋 I’m starting something new - a daily Action of the Day post! Each morning we’ll share a small focus or intention to set the tone for our day. It could be something business related, mindset focused, or simply something that helps us slow down and stay grounded 💭 💫 Today’s Action: Be present. It’s my little boy’s 2nd birthday today 🎂🎈and as a business owner it’s so easy to feel like we can’t switch off. Even today, I’ve got our dog course at college tonight and our live call to run but I’m reminding myself that it’s okay to take a few hours to pause and enjoy the moments that matter most. 👉 What’s your action of the day? Whether it’s something for your business, your mindset, or your family - drop it below and let’s keep each other inspired and accountable ✨
