My 12-year-old daughter just got “fired” by two dogs, and it taught her more about business than most adults learn in a year. 😂🐾
She said, “Come walk with me.”
Cocoa and Diamond both stared at her and delivered a perfect synchronized “nope.”
Cocoa even added a dramatic look-away for extra flair.
Here is what I love.
Running her dog-walking and pet-sitting business at 12 is already teaching her patience, communication, emotional intelligence, problem solving, responsibility and how to show up even when clients are not in the mood.
She shows up every day. Rain, snow, before school and after.
Her little business is building real confidence and real trust with local families.
If you are in Cumberland or Orléans and want someone reliable, kind, and genuinely dedicated to your pets, here is her page:

Dogs may say “nope.”
She still shows up. 💛🐾
