The Pet Parent Hotline is your lifeline when loving your pets starts to feel like losing your mind.

If you thought bringing home a pet would add joy but now find yourself scrubbing pee at midnight, budgeting around $400 vet bills, and skipping self-care (again) because no one else remembers to walk the dog, you’re in the right place.

Hosted by pet industry expert and animal rescue veteran Amy Castro, this podcast is here to help you stop chasing your tail and start creating a life with pets that actually works. No judgment. No fluff. Just real talk, expert strategies, and practical solutions that fit your real life—not the one shown in curated Instagram grids.

Amy’s helped thousands of pet parents like you find relief from the overwhelm and guilt that come with being the default caretaker. With 4,000+ foster pets under her belt and 15+ years coaching families through everything from behavioral struggles to financial strain, she gets what you're going through—because she’s been there too.

Whether you’re managing a household, a full-time job, and a pack of unpredictable pets, or doing it all solo without backup, this show delivers what you’ve been missing: clear answers, smart strategies, and a supportive voice that says, “You don’t have to figure this out alone.”

Each episode brings you:

**Honest, actionable advice you can use today

**Relief from the pressure to be the “perfect” pet parent

**Tools to reclaim your time, energy, and sanity—without sacrificing your pets' well-being

You love your pets. But you deserve to love your life, too.
