Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As a pet parent who used to travel a lot for work, I was inspired to start Auntie Lindy's as a way to provide the best care possible for pets while their pet parents are out of town or at work. My goal is to treat every fur baby with the same unconditional love and devotion I give my own, while giving their pet parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their furry family members are well taken care of. I'm inspired daily by the pets who started out as clients and have become family.

How do you stay motivated?

Staying motivated is easy when you're passionate about something. My passion for animals and their well-being drives me every day. Auntie Lindy's is currently a mobile pet care business, but I dream of opening Auntie Lindy's Pet Palace, a luxury pet day care and sanctuary with both indoor and outdoor areas for dogs and cats. The goal is to start as an enrichment-based hotel and expand to include a grooming area, training area, vet hospital, and rescue area.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Auntie Lindy's was established at the end of 2025, and really got off the ground in January 2026. Being in the early growth stages, the $25,000 would be used mainly for start up costs such as working capital, while also put towards the building of the Pet Palace, which would include leasing and renovating a facility, inventory, equipment, supplies, and utilities.
