A Superb Pet Franchise For Animal Lovers
Waggin' Tailz is a widely successful and popular dog walking and pet care company offering clients a full variety of services in home-based pet care, including:
- Dog walks
- Vacation visits or petsitting
- Pet taxi services
- Cat care
- Puppy/senior dog care
As an alternative to kenneling, Waggin' Tailz offers many attractive benefits: pets stay at home in their own safe and familiar environment, they maintain their regular diet and exercise routine, they receive personal attention and care, and they don’t have to endure the stress of an unfamiliar facility! Time and time again our clients tell us that they prefer to use Waggin' Tailz over a neighbor, friend or individual petsitter because we are a professional pet care company. As a franchise owner, you too can benefit from this advantage. Some of the reasons clients choose us over other dogwalking and petsitting services include our extensive insurance and bonding coverage, our drug screen and background check policies for all employees or contractors, our emergency veterinary procedures, our sophisticated online scheduling system, and our training in Pet CPR and First Aid.
A booming market
Consider this: Americans now spend $41 billion a year on their pets - more than what they spend on movies, video games and listening to recorded music combined!* What’s more, pet care services are the fastest growing area of the overall pet market, with double digit growth rates expected through 2010.** The pet care industry is thriving, and now is a great time to realize your dream of running your own business doing something you love. Waggin’ Tailz pet franchises are ideal for animal lovers looking for an opportunity to run their own pet care business in partnership with a proven, reputable franchisor. As our franchise partner, you can:
Create your own work and vacation schedule:
You’ll have the freedom to decide your work hours, your visit schedule and how many visits you wish to do.
Work from home:
With no office to report to, you’ll be able to run your business from home.
Choose whether or not to hire employees:
It’s up to you whether you’ll do all the visits yourself, or if you’d like to hire employees or contractors to help you.
Do what you love - work with animals:
You’ll get “waggin’ tailz” every time you show up for work! Pets quickly develop a love for their sitters and you’ll soon have new best friends.
