Professional Pet Care Is Changing. This Is Where the New Standard Begins.
OSHA-level safety, real-world decision-making to help sitters work more clarity, better boundaries, and stronger outcomes.
Real Pet-Care Work. Real Operational Risk
Pet Sitter Safety Consulting
Pet-care work doesn’t happen in controlled environments. It happens in client homes, parking lots, neighborhoods, unfamiliar environments, severe weather, and emotionally charged situations where behavior and operational risk collide every day.
Field Notes for Pet Pros helps pet-care professionals build practical safety systems grounded in real field experience — not generic workplace advice or recycled “best practices.”
Created by an occupational safety professional and longtime pet-care operator, Field Notes bridges the gap between animal behavior, lone-worker safety, operational decision-making, and real-world risk management. 🐾
Because safer operations protect more than businesses.
They protect people, pets, reputations, and the future of the industry itself.

Safety Leadership Pathway
Advisory & Leadership Support
Support for pet care businesses ready to hold safety as a leadership responsibility — not just a set of rules.
Custom Safety Program Design (Private Advisory)
$300
This 3-session private advisory is for owners and managers who are ready to design a safety program that fits their actual business — not a generic template.
We focus on aligning safety expectations, leadership accountability, training structure, and documentation with your team size, service model, and risk profile.
This is not a coaching engagement or a done-for-you solution. It is a guided design process that prepares you to lead, enforce, and stand behind your safety program with confidence.
Beyond the Bite Leadership Program (4-Weeks)
$500
Built around the Plan-Do-Check-Act framework and informed by modern occupational safety management principles, this 4-week leadership program helps pet-care businesses move from reactive safety habits toward structured operational leadership.
This course focuses on the leadership decisions, accountability structures, and cultural expectations that determine whether safety systems actually work.
Pet Sitter Safety System
Annual Membership $250
The work supports owners and managers in bringing safety to the forefront of daily operations — not as a checklist or software tool, but as an ongoing leadership responsibility.
Materials are provided to support implementation and consistency in the field, while decision-making, supervision, and accountability remain firmly with leadership.
Safety leadership isn’t built all at once. These pathways exist so businesses can begin — or deepen — the work at the pace responsibility requires.

My Mission
My role aligns with the INSHPO Global OHS Capability Framework as an OHS Professional Level 2, moving into Level 3. I design safety strategy, integrate hazard control into business operations, and provide leadership development and culture change mechanisms for small service-based enterprises — specifically in the pet-care sector where this capability has not yet formally existed.
