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.

Balancing time off and a busy booking calender

If you’re a dog sitter listening to this and thinking, “I love what I do… but when do I actually get time off?” This episode is for you.
Because one of the biggest challenges in dog sitting — especially when you’re busy — is that time off equals lost income.
That if you step away:
- Clients will leave
- Your calendar will fall apart
- You’ll lose momentum
- Or you’ll come back to nothing
And I want to say this clearly, right from the start:
I take six to eight weeks off every single year. And I still run a fully booked, in-demand dog sitting business.
Not because I’m lucky.
Not because I don’t care about my clients.
But because I’ve built my business to support a life not trap me in it.
In this episode I’m going to walk you through:
- How I plan my time off
- What I communicate to clients
- How I protect income
- And how you can do the same — even if you’re not there yet
