Your Entire Pet Sitting Business, Custom Built for You in 6 Months

Your brand, website, handbook, SOPs, hiring system, automations and marketing funnels, all designed, written and built by Colleen Sedgwick and her team. You make the decisions. We do the building.

Is your whole business living in your head and your phone?

You built something real. Clients love you. The calendar is full. But behind the scenes...

Your website hasn't been touched since the day you launched it

Your logo came from a free app and your brand changes depending on which day you made the flyer

Your handbook, client agreement and policies are a patchwork of templates (or still on your someday list)

You want to hire, but you don't have a job post, an interview process or a way to train new sitters

New leads slip away because nobody followed up fast enough

You've bought the courses. You know what to do. You just don't have the hours to build it.

Here's the truth... you already know what your business needs. What you're short on is time. So we build it for you.

Why I Build This

I started pet sitting in 2001 after burning out as a special education teacher. Within a couple of years I was working 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I was making money and had zero life.

What changed everything? Systems, automation and a real team. That's how Pet Nanny grew to serve more than 2,000 clients on the Main Line of Philadelphia.

I've spent years teaching petpreneurs how to build those systems. And over and over, I hear the same thing:

"Colleen, I know what to do. I just need someone to build it."

So now we do. My team and I build your entire business infrastructure for you, custom to your brand, your services and your market.

How It Works:

Your 6 Month Build

  1. Month 1: Discovery & Brand

    We start with a 90 minute kickoff strategy call and a full audit of your systems, pricing, services and team. Then we create your brand identity and voice.

  2. Months 2 & 3: Website & Operations

    Your custom website goes live with copy written for you, your booking software connected, and local SEO in place. We write your handbook, client service agreement and SOP library.

  3. Months 3 & 4: Hiring System & Automations

    You get a complete hiring system, and we build the full PetSitterVA Automation Suite (all 9 automations) right inside your ActiveCampaign account.

  4. Months 4 & 5: Marketing Funnels

    We create 3 complete marketing funnels, each with its own lead magnet, landing pages and email nurture sequence. Plus a referral program.

  5. Month 6: Marketing Plan & Handoff

    You walk away with a 12 month marketing plan, content calendar, branded social templates, recorded training on every system, and a final CEO strategy session to map your next 12 months.

Who This Is For

This is perfect for you if...

  • You're launching a pet sitting or dog walking business and want to start the right way from day one
  • You already have paying clients and you're ready to grow with real systems
  • You want a professional brand and systems without building them yourself
  • You can review drafts and give approvals within 5 business days
  • You're ready to invest in your business as a CEO

This is not the right fit if...

  • You're looking for ad management or someone to hire sitters for you
  • You can't set aside time for monthly calls and timely approvals
  • You want ongoing content creation or website updates after handoff

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of my time will this take?

You'll join a 90 minute kickoff, a monthly 1:1 call with Colleen, and review drafts as they're ready. We ask for your content and approvals within 5 business days so your build stays on schedule.

What if I'm not tech savvy?

That's exactly why this exists. We build every system for you and record a walkthrough of each one, so you and your team always know how it works.

How many revisions do I get?

Every deliverable includes 2 rounds of revisions.

What tools will I need?

You'll need a domain, website hosting, booking software and ActiveCampaign. Those subscriptions are in your name and paid by you, so everything we build belongs to you.

What's not included?

Ad spend or ad management, software subscriptions, professional photography or paid stock images, printing, job board and background check fees, recruiting or hiring sitters on your behalf, website maintenance after handoff, licensing, insurance, trademark registration, accounting, ongoing content creation and legal review. We recommend your attorney review your handbook and service agreement.

What happens after the 6 months?

You'll have recorded training on every system and a mapped plan for your next 12 months. Your CEO Academy membership continues for a full year from enrollment, so you keep getting support while you run what we built.

Is there a payment plan?

The founding investment is $25,000, paid in full. Financing options are available, and we'll walk you through them on your Clarity Call.

What results can I expect?

You'll walk away with a complete brand, website, operations library, hiring system, automations and marketing funnels ready to use. Revenue results depend on your market and how you put these systems to work, so results vary.

What's your refund policy?

There are no refunds once kickoff begins.

How does the application work?

Fill out a short application. If it looks like a fit, you'll book a Clarity Call with Colleen. If we both say yes, you'll sign your agreement, complete payment, and we'll schedule your kickoff.
