How I Help Pet Businesses

Practical consulting focused on operations, systems, and growth. Built on lessons learned running my own pet businesses.

Streamline your day-to-day operations with systems that actually work. From check-in to checkout, I help you build workflows that reduce chaos and increase capacity.
Booking, Routing & Scheduling Systems
Whether you run a salon or mobile service, get your scheduling right. Optimize routes, reduce no-shows, and maximize your grooming hours.
Pricing, Packages & Service Design
Price your services with confidence. Build packages that make sense for your market and create service menus that drive revenue without complexity.
Customer Experience & Retention
Turn first-time clients into regulars. Build systems for follow-up, rebooking, and the kind of experience that generates referrals.
Automation, AI & Internal Tools
Automate the repetitive stuff. From appointment reminders to client communications, I help you leverage technology without overcomplicating your business.

About

Operator First, Consultant Second

My consulting comes from doing the work myself: building the businesses, writing the code, and solving the problems firsthand.

I started in military intelligence, spending 16 years learning how to analyze complex situations, lead teams under pressure, and build systems that work. That foundation taught me how to think critically about operations and execution.

When I transitioned to the pet industry, I brought that same mindset. I didn't just open a grooming salon, I built systems for scheduling, pricing, and customer management. When I couldn't find software that worked the way I needed, I taught myself to code and built it.

Today, I run multiple pet businesses while helping other pet business owners improve their operations. My consulting comes from doing the work, not reading about it.
