Episode 314 - Building a Pet Care Empire in a Tourist Hotspot with Tamsin Rogers

The Poodle to Pitbull Pet Business Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Tamsin Rogers, who along with hubby Nigel, runs Ambleside Dog Walker, an award winning pet care busines, based in the heart of the beautiful English Lake District.

The business offers Adventure Treks and Sniffari walks, as well as daycare and delux dog sitting services for the many dog owners who visit the lakes.

Tamsin's journey began as a top-notch student and grew up in Lancashire, surrounded by a menagerie of furry friends. At aged 16 she adopted Bilbo, the Beagle cross rescue dog. The experience with Bilbo inspires the pet services they offer today.

After dabbling in various jobs, Tamsin became a primary school teacher. But a life-changing world adventure in her late twenties, inspired by her dad, transformed her perspective and confidence.

She met hubby Nigel on a blind date. They hit it off straight away, and quickly upsticks and moved to the Lake District. Tired of commuting for work, and missing out on time with Jasper, in 2019 Nigel started the business, and Tasmin joined the business a year later. Tune in to hear how Tamsin and Nigels business took off through the pandemic, Yet, low prices led to burnout as they worked around the clock, their lives dominated by the business.

Their game-changing moment came when they crossed paths with Dom, learning the art of pricing themselves appropriately and crafting their dream business in their dream location
