Ever feel like you're the only one who remembers to feed the dog, clean the litter box, or refill the water bowls? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing it all.

This bonus summer episode gives you a complete system to get your household to step up and share the pet care load, without nagging, yelling, or turning into the resentful pet parent you swore you’d never be.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The communication traps that keep you stuck doing everything yourself
• How to host a productive “pet care reset” meeting that works
• Step-by-step ways to assign tasks fairly and create accountability
• What to say when someone forgets their pet care job without starting a fight

If you’re ready to stop being the unpaid CEO of Pet Operations and finally get the help you deserve, this episode is your action plan.
