Petpals has opened its latest branch, in the Dorset town of Christchurch.
After a career including spells in the army, the pharmaceutical industry, and running his own businesses, local pet owner Robbie Brown is the newest franchisee to join the Petpals franchise network. Petpals now covers more than 150 locations across the UK, offering a range of services including dog walking, pet sitting and transportation.
Brown, who is fully trained, insured, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked, will be covering the Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton, Mudeford, Barton on Sea and Bransgore areas.
He said: “I had enough of the corporate world and felt it was time for a change. “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 they 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.
“I was fully trained in pet handling and behaviour, pet first aid, elderly pet care and pet sanitation before launching my Petpals business, and I’m really driven to respond to the demand for quality services for our pet loving community in our area.
“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.”
