Paws to Profit
The podcast for anyone who dreams of starting a profitable dog sitting business or is already on the journey but struggling to turn it into a thriving income stream.
I'm your host Tanya Williams is Chief Pawson of 3 Spoilt Dogs and I turned a casual side hustle into a thriving full-time business.
On this podcast, I’ll share the real story—the wins, the challenges, and the messy middle—along with practical strategies you can use to grow your own business. I know what works because I’ve built it myself: countless 5-star reviews, a waitlist of clients, and new enquiries coming in every single day—without spending a cent on ads or marketing.
So if you want to learn the secrets to turning your love of dogs into a profitable business, you’re in the right place.

Why Professional Branding Matters (Even for a Side Hustle)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we’re talking about branding.
And I want to start by busting a very common belief I hear all the time from dog sitters:
“It’s just a side hustle, I don’t need branding yet.”
“I’ll worry about that when I’m busier.”
“I don’t need anything fancy, I just love dogs.”
But the reality is:
Branding isn’t about being fancy.
It’s about being trusted.
It’s about being chosen.
And it’s about being perceived as a professional, not a hobbyist.
So today we’re going to cover:
- What a brand actually is
- Why branding matters even if you only take a few dogs
- How it sets you apart in a crowded market
- Where to start building your own brand
- Simple tools like Canva that make it easy
- And how professional branding directly impacts your confidence, your clients, and your income
