As you read these words, I’d like to show you how to create small groups for dog walking and home boarding, and if you’re already doing it, how to increase your income while helping dogs (and their owners) through proper socialisation.

My name is Mariella Pollo, and I’ve been in dog boarding and training for over 5 years. I’m a 5-star licensed boarder by my Local Council, and I’ve learned—through plenty of mistakes and practical experience—what truly works to build a safe, trusted, and profitable dog-care business.

Now I want to show others how to do the same — whether you want to earn extra income, transition into a career change, or create more freedom in your life by working with dogs.

 My career spans:

  • Hospitality & Events: waitress and bartender for agencies.

  • Property Consultancy in Northwest London:  Managing property portfolios, working for two families.

  • Entrepreneurship & Tech: Founder and CEO of a comparison website, a Brazilian tech startup; raised angel funding and sold 70% of the company to a corporate group.

  • Dog Care Specialist: Running a fully licensed, 5-star dog boarding business for 5+ years, walking up to 8 dogs at a time in public spaces and managing peak season boardings 5 times per year.

📈 Market Opportunity

The pet boarding market is growing fast — $10B by 2029 (7.4% CAGR)! Drivers:

  • Premium pet care

  • Pet-friendly travel

  • Ageing pet populations

  • Regulations

  • Awareness of pet mental health

Demand is high — owners pay for trusted, professional care..
