Paw Pals Franchise Opportunity

Do you want to work with animals, work from home and earn a living?

If so, why not open your own Paw Pals Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Franchise!

What Does Paw Pals Do?

Paw Pals is a pet's best friend, offering a professional and loving pet sitting and dog walking service that’s a great alternative to using the kennels or cattery, or having to rely on neighbours or family for holiday pet care.

Paw Pals cares for pets whilst the customer is away and can look after their home too, offering the customer complete peace of mind that their beloved pet is being loved and home kept safe until their return.

Why Join The Paw Pals Franchise? 

• Our franchise package enables you to start your business immediately! We give you everything you need to get started and will help you every step of the way. No need to worry about designing your own website, creating a logo or printing business stationery.
• The Paw Pals training manual and guide to pet sitting contains everything you need to know to run a successful pet sitting business.
• The earning potential is high. We estimate that you should aim to turn over between £18,000 - £24,000 in your first year, and between £30,000 - £40,000 in your second year. You can generate further profit by hiring extra dog walkers and pet sitters, employing host families for dog boarding, supplying pet food, accessories or even buying additional territories!
• We guarantee your own exclusive territory and will not sell another Paw Pals franchise in your town/city.
• We have over ten years' marketing and PR experience to help you attract customers quickly.
• The Paw Pals brand is much loved by customers and has often been the sole reason we have been selected over other local pet sitters. Customers identify with the caring image the logo and website portray.
• Our customers are very satisifed with the service they and their pets receive. Our walkers are very attentive towards each pet and we never walk dogs in large groups (unless socialisation is requested by a customer). At Paw Pals, we listen to our customers and have tailored a service to suit their needs and not that of the pet sitter.
• Running a pet-sitting business has few expenses. Apart from petrol and advertising, most of your earnings will be profit!
