History

By introducing a strong brand, website, modern vans, uniforms, and strictly operating within the law, we were able to expand rapidly Over the years, most of the dog walkers started to catch on and the market became more competitive. However, our reputation and memorable branding has allowed us to stay well ahead. We are currently Australia’s largest Dog Walking business with 33 franchises and our combined annual turnover is around $6.5m a year.
