I love learning. I just hated classrooms. I found I learnt better when I deeply cared about something, and that’s exactly how Mads for Dogs came to be.
What started as a passion for dogs, turned into a business that I didn’t even realise was possible! I discovered that you can make a living doing what you love… you just need the right support and a bit of courage to go for it.
I was lucky, I had people around me who believed in what I was building and helped me grow it into something real. But I know not everyone has that kind of support system. That’s exactly why this franchise exists.
I’ve created this opportunity for people who are ready to work hard, but who don’t want to follow the traditional route. For people who care deeply about animals, who want freedom and who are excited by the idea of building something of their own… with guidance, proven systems, and a brand that’s already trusted.
This isn’t about a business. It’s a chance to build a life you love, doing work that matters, in a way that suits you. I’ve built the pathway and now I want to help others run with it.
It’s your time to shine (and get a bit muddy too)
What started as a handful of regular local walks, quickly turned into a fully booked diary, a growing waitlist, and a realisation that this wasn’t just a job. It was a business people trusted, and one that dogs truly loved.
Built on passion rather than the traditional route, the business grew through hard work, word-of-mouth, and a genuine commitment to high standards. With strong systems, GPS tracked walks, daily updates, and safety focused processes, Mads for Dogs quickly became known for offering pet care with a professional touch.
After demand continued to grow, it became clear that this model could work in other communities too. That’s when the idea of franchising was born.
Today, Mads for Dogs offers a way for other dog lovers to build a business of their own, with full support, trusted branding, and a proven approach. Whether you’re new to pet care or ready to take your next step, our franchise is designed to give you everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to grow something brilliant.
