Petpals lands in Christchurch to bring premium care to local pets
The UK’s leading pet-care provider, Petpals, expanded to Christchurch, welcoming a brand-new pet-care business to support the growing demand for pet services in the area. Local pet parent Robbie Brown is the newest franchisee to venture into the rapidly expanding pet-care industry whilst also providing quality pet services for the Christchurch community.
After a career ranging from the army, the pharmaceutical industry and insurance, Robbie has decided now is the perfect time to change course and focus on his one true love – pets.
“I had enough of the corporate world and felt it was time for a change,” said Robbie. “I quit the rat race and decided to do something for myself and my love of animals. I’ve been a pet owner all my life, so I understand how owners place importance on caring for their four-legged friends. I am fully aware of how rewarding pets are for their owners, but how time-consuming and restricting it can be, particularly in the current economic climate. Now, by launching Petpals Christchurch, I can combine my two passions of looking after pets and running a business.”
Robbie, who is fully trained, insured, uniformed and DBS checked, will be covering the Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton, Mudeford, Barton on Sea and Bransgore areas delivering Petpals’ reliable and trusted pet care across the region.
Robbie is joining the growing Petpals community. Petpals is the UK’s longest-established pet-sitting and pet-care specialists. The brand offers a range of bespoke and award-winning services from dog walking and pet sitting to pet taxis in their branded vans. With over 150 locations across the UK and a dedicated head office team to support his journey, Robbie is ready to bring Petpals’ award-winning pet-care services to Christchurch.
“When looking for the right pet franchise to invest in, I could see that Petpals stood head and shoulders above the rest,” explained Robbie. “From the initial training to the ongoing support, all the steps were in place to ensure I was ready and raring to go.”
Petpals believe it is a privilege to look after someone’s pet, so the extensive training the brand offers its franchisees is pivotal for laying solid foundations on which they can build their business, whilst also protecting its core values.
“I was fully trained in pet handling and behaviour, pet first aid, elderly pet care and pet sanitation before launching my Petpals business,” said Robbie. “I even got to spend a day looking after cats and dogs as part of my training – what's not to love? It just reaffirmed that it was the right thing for me! I wanted to pair myself with the best to bring the quality of service our local community deserves.”
With an estimated 52% of UK adults now owning a pet, Robbie is looking to utilise his business experience and love for animals to achieve fantastic results with Petpals Christchurch*.
“I’m really driven to respond to the demand for quality services for our pet loving community in the area,” explained Robbie. “Our range of services will be personally tailored to our customers’ requirements and include pet home visits, dog walking, cat sitting, dog sitting, dog visits, puppy care, elderly dog care, pet taxi and pet to vet – all with the aim of providing local pets with the same love and affection they receive from their owners.
“As a dad to a terrier and two shorthair cats, I want Petpals Christchurch to offer the experience I would want for them to all our customers and pets, and I can’t wait to get going!”
