Pawtastic Vacations
In 2013, Stephanie created a business out of loss. Her dog had recently passed & she wanted to find a way to be around dogs, but without the long term commitment. Given her entrepreneurial spirit and her knowledge on animal behavior, she looked into dog sitting business models. She created a profile on a pet sitting website and started building a good reputation with clients. Instagram had just come out and Stephanie used this new tool to market herself. Through this business she learned about client relationships, networking, business finance, photography, marketing, scheduling, & more. Pawtastic Vacations became very popular as Stephanie also practiced dog training, an interest she had grown into since being a pet owner. She would send dogs back home much calmer and obedient that it created an increase in demand for her services.
