I love listening to these episodes while I’m on dog walks and when I need some motivation in my business. The episodes are fun and full of helpful information, ideas, and sometimes super relatable stories. Thank you for your time in making these for all of us in the pet world.

Meghan and Collin are not leaders in the pet sitting industry. Instead they encourage horrible business practices including nickeling and diming clients. They have a Facebook group called “sitter confessionals”. Someone posted that they did a meet and greet and sent an invoice to the client, which was not paid. The client decided to go a different route and canceled the request. The sitter reached out to the group. Several people commented to charge for meet and greets. I made my own comment in disagreement and did so factually. No other profession charges for consultants or estimates. Even lawyers and accountants usually give 20-30 minute consults before charging. There is other things pet sitters can do besides charging. When I commented this, another member commented on my comment and said “it’s insulting to tell others how to run their business”. That’s the point of the group is to give advice. I gave mine factually but as an opinion that charging for meet and greets is a horrible business practice. And in response to her I said “it’s insulting to charge for meet and greets when other professions don’t”. Meghan and Collin deleted my whole comment thread. When I messaged asking why.. they said “saying that it is “insulting” was not appropriate.” My use of insulting was in response to someone using it against me. This member then tagged me in her own comment asking “why I deleted my comment and was it because everyone was ganging up on me and I knew what I posted was wrong?” So purposely egging me on and using bullying tactics. I posted my original comment again on the original thread again. And then replied to the member tagging me in her comments “nope, you got it removed by the admins for your bullying and use of the word “insulting”. But as you can see it’s posted again!” Meghan and Collin instead of diffusing the situation ended up blocking me from the group and it came down to because my view doesn’t match theirs in regards to charging clients. They participated in the bullying. Everyone should be able to give their own advice on how to run a business for people to choose the option that works best for them. If people disagree with someone’s advice, they do not need to engage in argument and can make their own comment in favor of their opinion. When a similar review was posted to their business page, they turned around turned off reviews from their page. Again censoring people when their views do not align with theirs. Not at all appropriate and these two clearly do not know how to properly handle conflict situations nor the differences in regional language and voice. I do not recommend anyone to take advice from these two.

I’ve been a pet sitter for at least ten years so I love to hear other sitter’s stories and tips on sitting. This podcast gave me some great ideas on how to improve and cope

I LOVE this podcast and 100% think it’s the best Pet Pro Podcast out there! The hosts are humble, relatable and informative. Their guests are entertaining and I always learn something. Thank you Meghan & Collin for everything you do!!! Please keep up the amazing work!

Helpful information. Great questions to wonderful thoughtful guests. Nice work!

Love this show, the guests and the topics. So valuable for not only pet sitters, but anyone in the pet care industry. Thank you guys!

Pet Sitter Confessional is among my five top podcasts on my smartphone. It is entertaining, educational, and funny. They are transparent and genuine. They transmit positive energy and provide valuable professional advice. Having guests with diverse backgrounds, you learn from their experience and professionalism. Also, I feel supported in several situations in my business, making me think I am not alone. I am incredibly grateful for this podcast and for Colleen and Meghan, the creators. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge, your carisma, and your time. My pet-sitting business is open partly because of people like Colleen and Meghan and their podcasts. Bravo guys. I pray for you and your family. I am grateful to you.

I started listening to Pet Sitter Confessional about 1.5 years ago and haven’t stopped! Meghan and Collin are so eloquent and thoughtful with their words and the information they choose to share with their listeners. They cover more topics than I’d ever be able to brainstorm, and I’m so thankful for that! I have gotten at least one takeaway from every single episode that I’ve listened to. They release new episodes very often (multiple times a week?! Who has time for that?!) and they’re ALL worth the listen. This podcast helps me keep a clear mind and recognize that I’m not alone in my woes as a service-based business owner. Meghan and Collin genuinely want to share their knowledge and bring the community together. Pet Sitter Confessional is my favorite resource as a professional pet sitter! Anyone who has the desire to start pet sitting or is already in the industry should give it a listen - you’ll be glad you did!

Thanks guys, your podcast is wonderful! I love listening as not only a resource in pet sitting but also as day to day tips, advice and feeling connected!

I just started listening today (11/2021) after seeing PSC featured in a FB group: Pet Business Support & Resource Group. Every podcast covers pertinent content and feels like I’m sitting at the table with the hosts, sharing a cup of coffee and enjoying their conversations! Supporting PSC is that simple: a cup of coffee a month, and the information we all get back more than covers that value!! Thank you so much! Ashley @AMPS Pet Service

Collin and Meghan, First and foremost I want to say a huge THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I’ve been listening to Pet Sitter Confessional for the past four months on my hour long commute to and from work. What an incredible resource! To say you’ve been an inspiration is an understatement. During those four months, my dream of creating a pet sitting business has grown into a reality. I started my LLC, built my website, purchased insurance, wrote a contract, left my job and so much more while listening to you. The stories, words of wisdom, encouragement, resources and knowledge shared in your podcast have been my motivation. On days when I felt like an imposter, your words helped me feel the fear and do it anyways. I have to give a shout-out to my favorite episode (although it’s difficult to choose). Episode 163 Insurance with Colleen Giles-Harris is one I listened to multiple times because I found it so informative. It was very helpful to take a deeper dive into the options provided by Pet Sitters Associates. Keep doing what you’re doing! There are so many people listening, cheering you on and waiting for the next interview! Jess

Even though I’ve been pet sitting professionally for over 10 years, I’ve found many things mentioned in this podcast to be very helpful. Sure, there may be episodes for the more inexperienced person just starting out so I just move on to the next episode if that’s the case. I’ve gotten ideas on how to improve some processes and keep up with the technology that’s available to us nowadays. Great job guys!

This episode was amazing! So helpful, informative and bringing clarity to so many areas for me. I have listened to every episode you’ve put out and I really appreciate them all but this is one of my top 5 favorites. Thank you so much! Your podcast is my number one.

I just opened my own Pet Sitting business and through research I found this podcast and have been listening to it for a few days straight. And it has a lot of helpful information. Definitely looking forward to listening to more episodes.

Annoyed by useless Petsitters International mentions (which they’re paid for) and unhelpful filler amateur caretaker chatter. Time wasted waiting for interesting meaty content and heartfelt insights.

Great job Collin and Meghan! Love the interview format as well as the tips the two of you give. Learn something every episode. Thanks for making this podcast for the pet care community!

Collin and Meghan are having fun an important conversations in the world of animal care! Along with their guests they provide such great entertainment and really insightful business knowledge that is helpful for any small business owner or entrepreneur! Big thanks to you two 🐾❤️!

If you are new to the petcare business or want some extra tips- this is a good podcast to listen to! I like that they have a variety of pet care business owners as I have learned tips from all of them!

Seems very eh

Meghan & Collin provide such a wonderful podcast! It is jam packed with valuable stuff! They bring on a lot of other pet care professionals and other valuable resources. They give a very casual yet professional vibe. I learn a ton while also feeling like I’m just hanging out with old friends. I always feel supported by them. Especially during the difficult time through Covid. Thank you MC for all you do!! -Michelle w/ Paws & Claws Pet Sitting Services

I have been a pet sitter for several years and I really enjoy this podcast. There is a lot of valuable information as well as a sense of community that I love. This podcast has made me feel not alone in a very isolating job. I really enjoy all of the interviews with different pet professionals as well.

I could see this podcast maybe being useful for people who are just starting out in the pet business industry and need some basic tips and tricks. For those who have been in business for longer and are looking for more in-depth ideas on how to operate and grow your business, there are better podcast options out there.

I like the honesty in this podcast!

Great podcast for pet professionals sound could use some work but it’s more about the interview subjects equipment than the casters. Great topics and insightful conversation that’s just the perfect length for a drop in visit!

Great information for pet care professionals! Podcast is laid out well and makes for a great listen

Needs immense improvement

Great job! I really enjoy your podcasts!

I find your podcast very informative! Thank you for sharing your journey.

Helpful content! Thank you!

Sounds like this will be very informative!
