Top 4 Dog Daycare Franchises in the UK

Share:
Published on 03/12/2021 16:00:00


It’s official: Britain is a nation of dog lovers. It’s no surprise then that there are so many dog daycare franchises in the UK. If you've been considering which dog daycare franchises would be a good fit for you, here are our top 4 dog daycare franchises.


Dog daycare franchises take a lot of stress out of owning a canine friend. Where many owners need to go off to work throughout the day, these franchise businesses are there to look after and care for dogs until their owners return. From working closely with animals to reaping some exciting profits, there are a lot of reasons to start your own dog daycare business. 

What is a dog daycare franchise? 

Dog daycare franchises will be playing an active role in the stewardship and temporary care of dogs across a set period of time, sometimes indefinitely. Oftentimes, you’ll find yourself:

  • Speaking directly with potential new clients and fielding enquiries 
  • Recruiting dog-loving employees
  • Chairing meetings
  • Ensuring all animal and employee wellbeing practices are followed
  • Maintaining excellent and continuous communications with customers
  • Processing invoices 
  • Keeping records up to date

This isn’t an extensive list, and you will likely need to work flexibly to help out with various different departments of your business, but these are some of the more common franchisee tasks. 

Top 4 dog franchises 

1. PetStay

PetStay is more than just a bunch of dog sitters; this franchise is committed to giving the very best specialised care to clients’ furry friends. For an affordable price, you’ll be able to join this renowned, globally recognised and trusted brand.

  • Becoming a PetStay franchisee: Whatever your experience, this franchise is looking for individuals who have good business acumen, great customer relations skills, and of course, a passion for dogs. 
  • What you need to invest: Depending on the size and scale of the business you want to run, you’ll need to make a minimum investment of £9,995 + VAT. 
  • What you get for your investment: You’ll immediately be entitled to a 3-day training programme, where you’ll be introduced to all the essentials of running a franchise business.
