Why should you listen to me?
My name is Tanya Williams and I am Chief Pawson at 3 Spoilt Dogs. We are a home away from home for oodles and small dogs in Brisbane, Australia.
I started dog sitting 12 years ago very casually then started 3 Spoilt Dogs during Covid as a real side hustle and it has grown into a very successful full time business that is continuing to thrive. So, now I want to share everything I have learnt with you in the Paws to Profitᵀᴹ program.
I have countless 5-star reviews, a waitlist of clients, and generate new enquiries everyday without spending any money on ads or marketing. And our clients love us so much they will book their holidays around us as they know their dogs love coming to stay with us so much and we provide our pawrents with peace of mind so they can enjoy their own holiday.
I am so excited to share with you exactly how we do all this so you can set up your own successful dog sitting side hustle.

FAQs
Do I need business experience or qualifications to do this?
No — and that’s intentional.
This program assumes:
- you’re not a business expert
- you don’t speak in corporate jargon
- you want practical guidance, not theory
Everything is explained in plain English, with real-world examples from an actual dog-sitting business. You’ll learn what matters, what doesn’t, and what to focus on first.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
This is designed to fit around real life.
Most people:
- work through modules in short, focused sessions
- implement one thing at a time
- move at a pace that suits their schedule
You don’t need hours every day. What you do need is consistency and willingness to apply what you learn. Even small, steady action compounds quickly.
Are there any additional costs?
You might need to pay small fees for business registration, insurance or relevant admin however there are no large costs involved in setting up your business.
Will I need to invest in software or platforms?
No. We share how you can follow the systems using free tools and platforms. If you choose to invest into other software that is totally up to you.
Do I need to spend money on ads or marketing?
Absolutely not. I have never spent money on marketing and only recently have been using free marketing tactics to generate new leads.
Is this only for people who are brand new to dog sitting?
Great question — and the answer is no.
Paws to Profit is for:
- people starting from scratch
- people already dog sitting casually
- people who are booked, but undercharging or overwhelmed
If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it, unsure if you’re doing things “the right way,” or struggling to turn effort into consistent income — this program will give you clarity and structure.
If you already have clients, you’ll likely realise where small tweaks can make a big difference very quickly.
Can I do this while working a full-time job?
Absolutely — and many people do.
Paws to Profit was built specifically for:
- side hustlers
- career changers
- parents
- people easing out of full-time work
You’ll learn how to structure your services, availability and boundaries so your business works around your life — not the other way around.
Will this help me make money, or is it just about loving dogs?
Let’s be honest — loving dogs is important, but it’s not enough.
This program is about:
- pricing properly
- avoiding undercharging
- creating repeat clients
- building something sustainable
Yes, you’ll be doing something you love — but you’ll also learn how to treat it like a real business, so it actually pays you for your time and energy.
What makes Paws to Profit different from free advice online?
Free advice is everywhere — and that’s part of the problem.
What you don’t get for free is:
- a clear roadmap
- the right order to do things
- context for why things matter
- guidance specific to dog sitting
Paws to Profit removes the noise and gives you a clear, proven path — without having to piece things together yourself.
How long do I have access to the program?
You’ll have ongoing access, so:
- you can revisit modules
- refresh your systems
- adapt as your business grows
This isn’t a one-and-done experience — it’s a resource you grow with.
How do I know if this is the right time for me?
If you’re:
- thinking about starting
- tired of guessing
- ready to take dog sitting seriously
- wanting clarity and confidence
Then the timing is right. You don’t need to be “ready” — you need to be willing.
Is Paws to Profit only relevant in Australia, or can I do this from anywhere?
This program is relevant no matter where you live in the world.
While some examples are drawn from real-life experience, the foundations of a successful dog-sitting business are universal:
- how to structure your services
- how to price with confidence
- how to attract and retain clients
- how to set boundaries
- how to create professional systems
- how to deliver a five-star experience
Those principles don’t change based on postcode.
What does change — and what the program supports — is how you apply them in your own location, within your own rules, lifestyle, and market.
Paws to Profit teaches you how to think, not just what to copy — so you can adapt the framework to wherever you live and whatever stage you’re at.
Whether you’re in a city, suburb, regional area, or overseas, the structure, strategy, and mindset behind a profitable dog-sitting business stay the same.
This program is right for you IF:
- You genuinely love dogs
- You want to start a side hustle to earn more income doing what you’ll love
- You have a safe and secure place to host dogs
- You don’t want to invest in fancy tech or software programs
- You have none or very limited budget to set up a business
- You want to learn directly from someone that is (and continues) to have a thriving dog sitting business
- You don’t have a lot of business or marketing experience
