I’m generating almost £40,000 a year and know I could do more

“I’ve always loved having pets around and love walking dogs so I knew I wanted a job like this. I was employed by Scamps & Champs for 4 years and loved going out, meeting new people, walking their dogs and taking care of their pets for them while they were at work or on holiday.

Scamps and Champs Franchisee

When Lesley, Scamps & Champs Founder, mentioned she was going to start offering franchises, I thought it was the perfect opportunity for me. I got to become my own boss and fit in my hours around my lifestyle. I took on my own franchise area and Scamps & Champs helped me every step of the way.

I had no business knowledge, didn’t have a clue where to start advertising on my own, or how to handle the financial side of things, but Lesley was brilliant. She is only ever a phone call away offering support and guidance when I need her. She helped me reach out to new customers and plan for the future of the business. I was only 23 when I set up on my own, so to have someone behind me with that level of support was invaluable!

I now have a team of fantastic dog walkers and home boarders and a client base which is continually growing. We have clients who use us regularly and some which use us every time they go away on holiday. I love getting to know our pets and our clients. It’s the perfect job for me.

Running my own business means I am able to be at home for my young children and not have to reply heavily on child care. My eldest is only 3 years old and for me it’s important that I can watch them grow up. I am able to work at times that suits my family and I can get admin bits done in the evenings too.

On average I’m generating almost £40,000 a year. Some months are busier than others, but roughly it’s around 3k. I know that I am able to generate so much more once my children are a bit older.

Having the support of Lesley, and Scamps & Champs, has been amazing. We’ve grown our business from nothing and can really look forward to a brighter, flexible future doing a job we love! It doesn’t even feel like a job!”
