Essential skills

Ideal franchisees are enthusiastic, energetic, organised, people who love pets and you have dreamed of working with animals, if you have the desire to provide a caring, friendly, professional pet care service that is superior to all others. We can give you the opportunity to work for yourself, but not by yourself with marketing and social media. The Pet Franchise you are building is your own, but you will not have to do it on your own, with a support team backing you up!

Daily tasks

Collecting animals for journeys to and from the local vets, arranging the home visits for the clients wanting animals looked after at home. Daily dog walking and cat feeding jobs. The sensible use of time management to allow best routes and jobs to fit into daily workload. The confident use of the skills gained through our training if the animal ambulance is required, this is sometimes very urgent and the other tasks of the day need to be quickly rearranged to allow for emergencies.
