Are you ready to market your Pet Business and grow your customer base?
Hi! I’m Kate McQuillan. My husband Michael and I own a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business in Ireland. I have 2 gorgeous dogs and a cat…and I love notebooks and pens!
We started our Pet Business back in 2010 because we didn’t want to put our pets in kennels. It used to break my heart leaving them when we had to travel – so we stopped travelling as much. Having a Pet Sitting business solved that problem – our pets were happy at home and I no longer felt bad for leaving them.
I wanted to let everybody know about our Pet Sitting services as quickly as possible. But we didn’t have a massive advertising budget – we were a small company just starting out.
That’s when I discovered blogging and fell in love with it. Blogging meant we could reach pet lovers all over Ireland. We used social media to amplify the reach of our blogs and business just boomed. People were finding our articles, sharing them and getting in touch to book services. And none of this was paid advertising.
Since then we franchised our business, are in our 8th year of Irelands largest pet competition and we regularly contribute to pet features in the press.
I started the membership to share my knowledge of marketing our business over the last 11 years with people just like us. I love helping people refine their marketing so that it is a lead generating machine. Sometimes just small changes can make a massive difference.
But what I love most is the community of Pet Business Owners in the membership. People that are excited to work on their business, love chatting with other business owners and are happy to learn new things and implement into their business. And most importantly they are such a lovely bunch of people – people you want to hang out with and consider friends.

I am very much a fan of Social Proof – not just talking the talk, but actually walking the walk.

Pam, Toronto Dog Walking
Highly recommend Kate for coaching! Currently, I am taking her 90 Day Blogging Course. She is a wealth of information. No need to research what works or doesn’t. No need to teach yourself. She lays it out for you very easily. I am a loyalist and have purchased everything of hers. Notes, articles, resources, images, …the only thing holding you back after working with her is yourself.
