Profile

FRIENDS FOR PETS franchise is a career for animal lovers

If you love animals, care about their welfare and seek a new direction in life, this franchise might well be for you!

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Launched in 2008, Friends for Pets has seen a marked increase in the demand for dogwalkers & pet sitters and the number of businesses offering these services. Due to there being currently no trade standards in this field, many of the companies out there are of poor quality.

While working with the government to try and rectify this situation, we at Friends for Pets do our best to ensure we offer clients only qualified, professional individuals upon whom we have built our exceptional brand and reputation. It means they can rely on us to look after their furry friends as if they were our own.

With years of experience combined with a commitment to animal welfare that never sways, we are now seeking people like you who love animals and want to see pets get the best level of care.

WHY CHOOSE FRIENDS FOR PETS?

info

Instead of starting a new career on your own, you can become a Friends for Pets franchisee, which takes out much of the risk and work from day one. This comes from our tried & tested business model so that you will develop your franchise in its exclusive territory quickly and effectively.

We provide business leads to find new clients. You’ll also receive our Development Business Strategy that is bespoke to both your personal situation and your aims & goals for your new business. On top of that, you can work from home, thus helping to minimise your overheads.

Of great importance is knowing what you are doing, so we give you full Continual Professional Development [CPD] training. This allows you to bring your clients the best service and build a local reputation.

Working as a franchisee means you have ongoing support and access to our tailored IT database and bookkeeping system. The tech side of things couldn’t be easier!

WHAT DOES FRIENDS FOR PETS DO?

Pets have grown in popularity over the last few years due to:

  1. More people working from home
  2. People marrying and having kids later
  3. The UK’s population is ageing, and many of them crave company

But taking care of pets isn’t always as easy as it’s made out to be, especially if you find it hard to take them out for the exercise they need and crave, or have to be away for several hours for work, etc.

Friends for Pets offers high-quality solutions with a number of services:

  • Dog Walking
  • Doggy daycare
  • Pet sitting
  • Luxury dog boarding
  • House Sitting
  • Horse care
  • Small pet boarding

TESTIMONIAL

“I joined Friends for Pets in 2017 and have not looked back since… I now run two really successful territories, with another one being set up. This opportunity really has changed my life – I love the challenges that running my own business brings and the satisfaction in seeing it grow and succeed. I won a Customer Service award in my first year and was shortlisted for two other huge national awards in the pet care industry. None of this would have been possible without Becca’s support and dedication and I will be forever grateful for what she has helped me achieve in such a short space of time… I have a fantastic team of local people from all walks of life who offer pet care to a diverse range of clients and their pets. If you’re willing to put in hard work and you have a passion for animals, then the sky really is the limit!”

- Lucy, multi-unit pet franchisee (Bristol & South Gloucestershire)
