Author: Rachel Spencer October 7, 2025 Duration: 16:07

Running a pet business is full-on, and when it comes to planning, it can feel like yet another thing on your never-ending to-do list. 

That’s exactly why I created the Pet Business Content Planner - and this year I’ve created more support to help you use it, The Planner Club.

If you’ve clicked on this episode, chances are you’ve either grabbed a copy of the 2026 planner already or you’re thinking about it. 

Maybe you love the idea of being organised and consistent with your marketing - but also know you need a bit of structure and support to make it happen.

This podcast will help you figure out whether the planner club is right for you.

There's a persistent myth in the pet industry that success requires a rigid, one-size-fits-all formula. Your Pet Business, Your Way exists to dismantle that idea entirely. Hosted by Rachel Spencer, a journalist and accredited coach with deep roots in this world, this podcast is a conversation for pet professionals-groomers, trainers, walkers, product makers-who feel exhausted by generic marketing advice and industry trends that clash with their personal values and lifestyle. Rachel brings her background as a mentor and author to frank discussions about building a sustainable enterprise that doesn't demand you sacrifice your family time, your sanity, or your unique voice. Episodes delve into practical strategies for marketing, client relationships, and entrepreneurship, but always through the lens of your individual circumstances. You'll hear from Rachel directly, as well as insights from others navigating the same path, focusing on how to grow a business that genuinely fits around your life, whether that involves kids, other passions, or simply a desire for more autonomy. This isn't about following a rulebook; it's about writing your own. Tune in for a refreshingly realistic take on creating a pet business that thrives on your terms, making this podcast a trusted resource for anyone who believes their love for animals and their personal ambitions can truly coexist.
