You started this because you have a genuine gift for working with animals, not because you wanted to spend your evenings agonizing over spreadsheets, fielding late-night texts, and wondering if you're actually turning a profit.
The emotional toll of trying to figure out the business side alone is the highest hidden cost of your passion. When you stay stuck, burnout isn't just a possibility - it's an inevitability. But it doesn't have to be this way.
You're pouring your heart into the care you provide, but when you look at the numbers, it feels like you're barely breaking even.
Marketing feels overwhelming, and you're tired of fielding inquiries from pet owners who haggle over your rates or don't respect your boundaries.
You're offering disorganized, a la carte services that make scheduling a nightmare, instead of streamlined packages that provide predictable income.

Most pet care business courses are expensive, one-size-fits-all programs that leave you with more questions than answers. You don't need another generic template or overwhelming curriculum that ignores the reality of your day-to-day work.
Pathways to Pet Care is the antidote. It’s an accessible, small-group mentorship space designed for real, human-centric support. We focus on personalized guidance that respects your unique goals and values, helping you build a profitable business without the burnout.

We want to ensure this mentorship is exactly what you need to grow your pet care business. Here is who we can help the most.
You are exclusively looking for technical pet handling or grooming certifications.
You want a 'magic bullet' to fix your business without implementing new systems.
You prefer to figure everything out on your own rather than learning from others.

I am Amanda, the owner of No Hassle Dog Training and the mentor behind Pathways to Pet Care. After a career in customer service and management, I started my own business in 2021 and learned firsthand how different it feels to make decisions when the business is yours.
Since 2023, I have supported aspiring pet professionals as they turn ideas into clearer offers, work through the practical side of business, and build with more confidence. My approach is calm, practical, and kind.
I will not hand you a cookie-cutter formula or expect you to become someone else to run a successful business.
Instead, I will help you sort through the noise, understand your options, and choose a path that fits the service you want to provide and the life you want your business to support.
Get the guidance you need to build a solid foundation, with direct access to personalized mentorship and a community of like-minded professionals.
$67 CAD per month, tax included. Automatic monthly billing until cancelled. Cancel anytime.
PPC is currently capped at 10 members so the support can stay personal.
Not at all. Building your business with the right foundation from day one will save you years of trial, error, and burnout. Our resources are designed to help you set up sustainable systems from the start.
You do not have to be brand new. If you are re-launching or looking to grow your current business, PPC can also support you as you refine offers, revisit pricing, improve client communication, build systems, or make growth feel more sustainable.
All live coaching sessions and workshops are recorded and added to the member hub within 24 hours, so you can watch them whenever it fits your schedule.
We keep things intentionally simple. You don't need to be a tech wizard to succeed here. We provide clear, step-by-step guidance, and our community is always ready to help if you get stuck.
No. PPC is not a certification program for dog trainers, groomers, dog walkers, pet sitters, or other pet care providers. There are many excellent professionals who offer technical and case-specific education. PPC focuses on the business side and the human side of putting your work into the world. I may sometimes be able to offer general support on a specific case, but that is not the main purpose of the membership.
Yes! Your onboarding call is 1:1 so I can get a sense of where you're at in your business and how I can best help you. While the Zoom calls are group coaching, Coach in your Pocket is your direct access to me. Message me Monday to Friday and I typically respond the same day to answer questions and guide you in your next steps. I also pop in to the community to check in on everyone and answer questions there.
You will receive a welcome email with access to the hub. I will also reach out to schedule your 30-minute onboarding call, where we will talk about your stage of business, your current goals, how I can best support you, and how to use the hub.
There is no minimum commitment period though I would recommend staying for a minimum of 3 months to give yourself and your business the best chance at success. You can cancel your membership at any time, you'll retain access for that month and can re-join again in the future if you wish.
Yes. Your membership is billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. You will retain access until the end of your paid billing period. Payments already billed are non-refundable.
Memberships cannot be paused. You can cancel and rejoin later if a space is available.
You don't need to have everything perfectly figured out to begin. Take the first step today, and we'll build your successful pet care business together.
