Why Petpals Stands Out

Petpals isn’t just about pet care – it’s about raising the standards of an entire industry.

“The pet-care market is very saturated in Surrey. However, Petpals Camberley & West Woking is very well regarded in the area, and I knew from my relationship with the previous franchise owner that it has a brilliant and loyal customer base.” – Nancy Edwards, owner of Petpals Camberley

A Day in the Life of a Petpals Franchisee

No two days are the same. Mornings often involve dog walks, puppy care visits, or administering pet medication. Midday is a busy time for home visits, caring for small animals, or providing elderly dog care. Depending on your business model, you may handle these tasks yourself or manage a team. Evenings might include client communication, invoicing, or preparing for overnight pet sitting. This variety keeps every day fresh, rewarding, and impactful for both pets and their owners.
