Our Family

Digs for Dogs isn’t just a franchise.
It’s a family.

Claudia Smith | Worsley & Walkden

“The training couldn’t have been more thorough, it covered so much more than I would have thought of myself. Digs for Dogs’ bespoke system really has made the administration easy and quite painless to do. I didn’t expect my new business to take off like it has at all!”

Emma Croft | Rochdale and Oldham

“From making my initial interest known to signing on the dotted line, I could not have received more support, enthusiasm and information.

Debbie and the team were inherently professional but also personable, friendly and there for any questions or concerns I raised at any stage during the process!

I was extremely impressed with the standard and quality of the training week I had with three more fellow franchisees.”

Peter & Louise | Cheadle & Bramhall

“We’ve been very excited to see how our business has grown over the past year and can’t wait to start the new year. We never expected to be so busy so quickly and it’s so much more fun looking forward to a “doggy monday” rather than a “laptop and moaning customers monday”

Lisa Rose | Wigan

“Knowing that I would have in-depth training before I set up my business, in order to ease me into the idea of working for myself and all the organisational aspects of doing so, helped tremendously.

The fact that this support and on-going training still continues as my business grows has made me so much more settled, confident and connected to all aspects of the business.”

Carl Suthurst | Whitefield

“I joined Digs for Dogs after working in the textile industry for over twenty years. Starting a new business can be very daunting but Digs for Dogs made the whole process seem easy.

Every detail was thoroughly explained & training was well organised and professional. To be able to walk dogs every day is a dream come true! My only regret is not doing it sooner – it’s the best job in the world.”

Don't just take our word for it...

Where Digs for Dogs began...

Debbie Pomfret, awarded “Business Woman of the Year 2020” at MIBBA, first launched Digs for Dogs in Bury in April 2012 after working many years in a career of sales and marketing.

“A dog owner all my life, I understand how important it is to have peace of mind that your four-legged friend is being cared for when you’re not around.

To this day, demand for our professional, friendly and award winning service is still rocketing, and is the reason my business initially grew so rapidly.

In 2014 I realised that I had the business model and experience to help other dog-loving people find the change of career they were looking for. The very first Dog Walking franchise was sold that year, and I am extremely proud that Digs for Dogs has grown to now operate 35 franchises across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire.

I look forward to speaking to more ambitious and passionate individuals about joining our family of dog lovers and running their own successful pet services business!”
