You built a team that works. So why does this question keep coming back?

Maybe you've been asking yourself:

  • Am I set up the right way with my contractor sitters?
  • What would switching to W-2 actually cost me?
  • If I changed pay, would my best sitters stay?
  • Would I have to raise prices, and would my clients go along with it?
  • Where do I even start?

Here's the truth... these are smart questions to ask. And the answers depend on your state, your sitter pay and your prices. That's why a Facebook thread or a general article can only take you so far.

You deserve answers built around your business.

In 60 minutes, we'll walk through:

  1. Your current IC setup. How you recruit, schedule, train, pay and set expectations for your sitters, and which areas are worth bringing to your employment attorney.
  2. A ballpark W-2 picture. Rough numbers on what switching could look like for your business, using the figures you share on your Prep Form.
  3. Your top questions, answered live.
  4. Your clear next step, whether that's strengthening your IC systems or building a full plan to move your team to W-2.

What you walk away with

  • Clarity on where your setup stands, so you can stop second-guessing and start deciding.
  • A ballpark view of W-2 costs using your own numbers, so the decision is based on math instead of worry.
  • Answers to the questions that have been keeping you up (you'll bring your top 3).
  • A recap email within 2 business days with your 3 priority actions, so you know exactly what to do after we hang up.

And if you decide to keep your contractors? Perfect. You'll leave with clear next steps to strengthen the setup you have.

Is this for you?

This call is a great fit if:

  • You run a pet sitting or dog walking business with independent contractor sitters
  • You want to know whether you're set up correctly
  • You're curious about W-2 but not ready to commit to a full transition plan
  • You want practical answers from someone who knows the pet care industry

Good to know before you book:

This is business coaching. Your employment attorney and CPA confirm legal and tax details.

If you already know you want a complete W-2 plan with custom pay, pricing and policies, the IC to Employee VIP Intensive is built for that.

Hi, I'm Colleen Sedgwick.

I built and ran my own pet sitting company, Pet Nanny, and I moved my own team from independent contractors to W-2 employees. I know what it's like to stare at the numbers and wonder if you're about to make a costly mistake.

Today I coach pet sitting and dog walking business owners through Pet Nanny Coach. I bring the numbers, the systems and the lessons from making this change in my own business.

How it works

  1. Book and pay. Grab your spot for $297, then pick your time on my calendar.
  2. Fill out your Prep Form. About 10 minutes. Rough numbers are fine. Please submit it at least 2 business days before your call.
  3. Meet with me on Zoom. 60 focused minutes on your business.
  4. Get your recap. Your 3 priority actions arrive within 2 business days.

Ready for the full plan?

$297 credit

If our call shows you're ready to build your complete IC to W-2 plan, your $297 comes right off the IC to Employee VIP Intensive when you enroll within 30 days of your call.

Start with the Strategy Call, knowing your investment carries forward when you're ready for the next step.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

This is business coaching. I bring the numbers, the systems and my own experience moving my team from IC to W-2. Your employment attorney and CPA confirm the legal and tax details.

What if I want to keep my contractors?

That's a great outcome too. We'll look at your current setup and your next step to strengthen it.

Do you work with businesses outside my state?

Yes. We'll look at your setup and flag the state-specific questions to bring to your attorney. Detailed state research is part of the VIP Intensive.

What do I need to bring?

Just your Prep Form answers: your state, number of sitters, what you pay them, your service prices and your top 3 questions. Ballpark numbers work.

How is this different from the VIP Intensive?

The Strategy Call is a single 60 minute session that works from rough numbers and gives you a clear next step. The VIP Intensive is a complete, done-with-you plan: a custom cost calculator, your pay structure and pricing, policy templates, sitter and client announcements and 30 days of one-on-one support.

Can I get a refund?

Strategy Call payments are nonrefundable.

Get your answers and your next step.

You've been carrying these questions long enough. Let's sit down with your numbers and figure out what makes sense for your business.
