Barking Mad provides dog sitting and pet sitting - an alternative to kenneling; franchising enables us to provide dog sitters through dog volunteers in regional branches.
Pet sitting has changed in recent years. No longer is the only choice a boarding kennel. Home-from-home pet care is now widely available. Your dog has a holiday at the same time as you which is a welcome alternative to boarding kennels and peace of mind for the owner.
The home from home sitting service reduces stress for both parties. These dog sitting companies visit you and your dog at your own home and find out about their daily routines for exercising and feeding, their likes, dislikes and healthcare needs before taking on the job.
Next, they select the ideal host family usually from a portfolio of trusted dog-lovers. Accommodation is arranged in a warm, friendly home environment, with one-to-one dog care, exercise and feeding routines are maintained. The dog can even take his own bed and toys!
Through this method of business, it has become apparent that a franchise opportunity is available. A home-based business opportunity in a fast-growing sector, usually backed by market-leading brands and a proven support network. A pet sitting franchise enables the chance to set up, develop and manage a profitable business - by getting out and about meeting fellow pet-lovers and their dogs.
So to conclude, pet sitting and dog sitting services are changing. The role of the family pet has been increasing year on year as they become integral parts of the family. These families are anting to give their pet a holiday just as they go on theirs. It may be that these kind of bespoke and one to one services are a little more expensive but peace of mind for the family is paramount along side the added care provided to the dog or pet.
