Pet Care Services
That Pet Owners Want
with high-quality services and care, especially when they are away. Woofie’s dog walking business is more than just walks and washes. Our pet franchise business delivers personalized, loving care with:
- Daily Dog Walks
- Pet Sitting Visits
- Mobile Grooming Appointments
- Our Woof Pack Loyalty Member Program
- And More!
Pets are family! We do everything together, from snuggling on the couch to going out on the town. And just like family, we want the very best care for our furry friends. Now, more than ever, people consider their pets as children.
The already booming pet care business is projected to see continued growth. Total U.S. pet industry sales rose to $123.6bn in 2022. This increase was the third year in a row that the industry saw growth, with pet services like grooming, pet sitting, and walking accounting for $8.1bn in sales alone.
Woofie’s knows every pet has its own unique needs and personality. We have a bone to pick with cookie-cutter dog grooming franchise systems, and formulaic care programs simply don’t cut it for us.
Our Woofie’s pet care professionals take the time to get to know their clients and their pup—or cat, ferret, fish, iguana—so that they can give them exceptional, personalized care.
That’s how much consumers globally spend on pet-related services! The expected annual growth rate is 9.21% from 2023 to 2030.
The amount spent on pets in the U.S. (products and services) in the last year was over $128.6bn. This is expected to increase to $195.6bn by 2030.
96.9 million homes have a pet. 65.1 million households have a dog, and 46.5 million have a cat. In other words, animal franchises have a growing audience.
Quality pet care isn’t considered “optional” to pet owners; it’s essential, especially when they can’t be at home with their beloved pets.
The demand for quality pet care has never been higher, and the timing has never been better to buy a pet franchise with Woofie’s!
