AI for Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers
Run your pet-sitting or dog-walking admin in half the time with AI — owner updates, intake, contracts, and getting found. 8 lessons, free to start.
It’s summer, your phone won’t stop, and you’re still writing owner updates at 9pm. Pet-sitting and dog-walking demand peaks every June and July — which means right now, when you’re busiest, you’re also spending your nights typing instead of resting. That second pile, the admin, is exactly what AI is good at. Not the walking. Not the cuddling. The typing.
This course teaches a working solo sitter or walker to hand the back office to AI and keep the part that matters — the care, the trust, the judgment — entirely human. You’ll write the two-minute owner update, build a meet-and-greet intake packet and a plain-English service agreement, generate a week of social posts from one phone photo, and send the firm-but-kind messages you keep avoiding. You’ll even run the test owners now do on you — “who’s a reliable dog walker near me?” — and fix what’s keeping you out of the answer.
The honest framing the industry keeps repeating: AI is not going to replace pet sitters. But the sitters who use it are going to out-run the ones who don’t, because they’ll have their evenings back. Start in the next lesson — no signup needed — and you’ll have your first AI-written owner update before you finish your coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be good with technology?
No. This course assumes you've barely used ChatGPT. Every lesson gives you a copy-paste prompt and tells you exactly where to click. If you can send a text, you can do this.
Will AI make me sound fake to my clients?
Only if you let it. The whole course is built around keeping your real voice — you feed AI the specific details, read every message before it goes out, and the hands-on care stays 100% yours. We teach the exact 'make it sound like me' step.
Which AI tool does this use, and is it free?
Mainly ChatGPT, but the prompts work in Claude or Gemini too. You can do most of the course on a free account; we flag the one or two places a paid plan helps. The course itself is free to start — the first two lessons need no login.
Is this the same as your Pet Care with AI course?
No. That one is for pet owners (nutrition, training, health). This one is for the business — running a pet-sitting or dog-walking service. Different job, different course.
