Pets, Homes and Gardens Company Southampton franchisee say "it was like winning the lottery"

Pets, Homes and Gardens Company Southampton franchisee Richie Clark say "it was like winning the lottery".

I wanted to set up my own pet sitting and dog walking business for quite some time, but I was put off by the lack of regulation in the industry and the risk of earning little-to-no income in the early days. So discovering the Pets, Homes & Gardens Franchise was like winning the lottery!

After getting through the interview and screening process, I received comprehensive training in areas such as invoicing, accounts, marketing and customer service. This training coupled with the fact that I had my own fully-fledged website was an absolute game changer for me as it meant I could hit the ground running: I was able to generate income almost instantly and I quickly proved to the naysayers that I had in fact made the right decision in going out on my own!

When I explain to prospective customers that I am part of a national franchise, it instantly raises the credibility of my business and it has allowed me to win over business time and time again. My daily dog walks are now fully booked and I have multiple customers on the waiting list which gives me immense financial security because I am able to determine the minimum I am likely to earn each and every month.

I can honestly say that I have never been so happy in the three years that I have been running the business and I could not be more grateful to Peter & Julie for their incredible support. Running this business is a dream come true and anybody looking to set up their own pet sitting business should not hesitate to contact the Pets, Homes & Gardens Franchise. If you are motivated, hard working and have a strong love for animals then this could be as life changing for you as it has been for me!
