Professional Pet Care Is Changing. This Is Where the New Standard Begins.
OSHA-level safety, real-world decision-making to help sitters work more clarity, better boundaries, and stronger outcomes.

Because excellence isn’t about doing more — it’s about seeing more.
Pet care businesses don’t fail because they don’t care. They struggle when growth outpaces safety leadership.
As a former MWH/NASA Environmental Health & Safety professional turned pet-care strategist, I work with owners and managers to translate what OSHA actually means for the realities of pet sitting and dog walking — home visits, solo sitters, multi-site coverage, and team-based care.
This work isn’t about checklists or compliance theater.
It’s about helping leaders recognize risk earlier, make clearer decisions under pressure, and build safety cultures that hold up as businesses grow.
Scroll to see the different ways we can work together — depending on your business size, structure, and readiness to hold safety as a leadership responsibility.

I entered pet sitting for the animals.
I stayed because I saw what safety—and presence—can do.
Support for pet care businesses ready to hold safety as a leadership responsibility — not just a set of rules.

This 3-session private advisory is for owners and managers who are ready to design a safety program that fits their actual business — not a generic template.
We focus on aligning safety expectations, leadership accountability, training structure, and documentation with your team size, service model, and risk profile.
This is not a coaching engagement or a done-for-you solution. It is a guided design process that prepares you to lead, enforce, and stand behind your safety program with confidence.

This crash course program is for business managers ready to take the serious step into creating a Safety Culture. This 4 week program occurs only once or twice a year.
This course focuses on the leadership decisions, accountability structures, and cultural expectations that determine whether safety systems actually work.
This is a monthly safety leadership engagement designed to strengthen how safety is understood, communicated, and managed across your pet care business.
The work supports owners and managers in bringing safety to the forefront of daily operations — not as a checklist or software tool, but as an ongoing leadership responsibility.
Materials are provided to support implementation and consistency in the field, while decision-making, supervision, and accountability remain firmly with leadership.
Safety leadership isn’t built all at once. These pathways exist so businesses can begin — or deepen — the work at the pace responsibility requires.
Practical insights + reflection prompts you can use to spark safety conversations with your team.

My role aligns with the INSHPO Global OHS Capability Framework as an OHS Professional Level 2, moving into Level 3. I design safety strategy, integrate hazard control into business operations, and provide leadership development and culture change mechanisms for small service-based enterprises — specifically in the pet-care sector where this capability has not yet formally existed.
