Remote Managing Your Pet Business
I know there's plenty of you wanting to have the luxury of traveling or maybe even relocating away from your pet business but you're afraid of trying to manage your pet business remotely.
That's why I brought on one of my personal friends and client, Tiffany Lewis, who manages her business remotely from across the country.
Tiffany Lewis founded Pet and Home Care in Potomac, Maryland in 1999 as a one-person pet sitting business. She has since expanded PHC to offer a full team of dog walkers, pet sitters, pet care experts, and home care service employees.

From there, the rest is in the technology, systems and processes and your ability to stay engaged with your business. With the right set of tools, you'll be able to remotely manage your pet business in no time!
