Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Selena Trotter, and I’ve been running a successful at-home dog boarding business since 2012. It all started one summer during a break from my high school teaching career when I began looking after dogs. What began as a side hustle quickly became a fulfilling, full-time business that allowed me to stay home -all while earning a great income. Since then, I’ve cared for over 1,000 dogs, creating a safe, loving, and happy environment.
Running this business has given me the freedom to raise my kids at home and involve them in the work, teaching them responsibility and the value of caring for others. Over the years, I’ve learned the ins and outs of managing a successful dog boarding business, from handling unique challenges to enjoying the incredible rewards.
With my background in teaching and executive coaching, I bring a wealth of experience in guiding others to success. My practical, supportive approach is designed to help you achieve financial independence, time flexibility, and a deep sense of fulfillment. Whether you’re looking to supplement your income or create a full-time career, I’m here to share everything to help you get started, avoid pitfalls, and find joy in building a business centered around the love of dogs.

No, you don’t need any prior business experience. This course will guide you step-by-step through everything you need to know.
Do I need to own my home to start a dog boarding business?
