Run Your Own Pet Franchise Business

Are you looking for a change of career this year? Turn a hobby into an opportunity with Digs for Dogs!

A Digs for Dogs pet franchise is a perfect way to change your lifestyle for the better, working with dogs whilst at the same time generating a healthy income. The demand for high quality pet care services has continuously grown over the past 10 years and the number of dog owners in Britain is higher than ever.

We’re looking for ambitious pet lovers who want to take advantage of this fast growing sector and run their own home-based business within the wonderful world of dogs. Take a look at our self-employed pet franchise opportunities below, our franchise owners claim they have “the best job in the world”.

We understand that family commitments, budget and ambition are different for everyone. We offer two pet franchise opportunities to suit your current lifestyle and budget:

Dog Walking & Pet Services

The Dog Walking Franchise is suited to dog-loving people who are looking for a flexible business that fits in with their lifestyle. A typical day will start around 9:30am and finish around 3:00pm, walking between 10-20 dogs per day. The services we provide include door to door dog walking, puppy visits, elderly dog care, holiday house visits and a pet taxi to the vets or groomers. We walk dogs in carefully chosen groups of up to four where they can enjoy plenty of exercise and socialisation. We regularly keep in touch with our customers whilst they’re at work offering reassurance that their dogs are in safe hands and having plenty of fun.

This is suitable for people looking for a flexible business which can fit in with family life commitments or a semi-retired lifestyle.

The cost of this Franchise is £6,495 + VAT

Home Boarding

The Home Boarding Franchise is all about ensuring dog owners can go away safe in the knowledge that their best friend is being loved and cared for. You will spend time meeting customers and building a network of host families to arrange happy holiday homes for dogs.

Each day is different and consists of registering new customers, building up a network of dog-loving families and chauffeuring dogs to and from their Holiday Homes.

Using our bespoke IT system, we build a profile of their dog(s) including any behaviour quirks, exercise, sleeping and feeding routine. We then match the dogs with a suitable family and offer full support whilst the dog is in their care. We regularly keep in touch with our customers and our host families to ensure they have complete peace of mind and make sure every dog has a fantastic holiday too.

This is more suited to people looking for a full time business that has the potential for higher earnings.

The cost of this Franchise is £10,995 + VAT

I was looking for a complete change of career

I was looking for a complete change of career and being an existing customer of Digs for Dogs I read about the opportunity to become a franchisee in the newsletter and knew immediately that was what I wanted to do! I hadn’t considered being self employed before so buying into a franchise provided me with the perfect opportunity to start up my own business, with the support and back up I needed from an established company and fantastic brand.
