About Us

Paw Pals is a professional and loving pet care franchise offering dog walking, pet sitting and boarding services across the UK. We pride ourselves on the quality of our customer service and the individual and personalised pet care we provide.
Why Paw Pals is different

We don’t pack walk our dogs: Extensive feedback has confirmed that this is preferred by our clients and franchisees alike, making our service unique, specialised and a more enjoyable experience.

Ongoing support and training: As well as full start up support and training courses, you receive ongoing advice and guidance from Paw Pals Head Office and the network of your fellow franchisees alike. We also provide additional training and refreshers each year.

The pet world is your oyster: We actively encourage our franchisees to expand their businesses and to offer additional services, with full support every step of the way.

We have been franchisees ourselves: We have first hand experience of running a successful Paw Pals franchise ourselves so are perfectly positioned to help you make a success of yours.
