Buy a Fetch! Pet Care Franchise

Fetch! Pet Care is a professional pet-sitting and dog-walking franchise founded by Paul Mann in 2002. The brand provides in-home pet care for busy owners, with services spanning dog walking, pet sitting, puppy sitting, overnight care, pet taxi transport and medication administration. Care providers are background-checked and interviewed before joining, and clients book, track and pay for visits through an online scheduling and billing platform.

The franchise runs on a home-based, territory-based model with low overhead and no retail premises. Owners build and manage a local team of caregivers rather than delivering every visit themselves, generating recurring revenue from repeat and standing-appointment clients. Fetch! is part of Phoenix Franchise Brands, a multi-brand franchisor whose portfolio also includes Furry Land, Door Renew, medspa810 and Spray Foam Genie.

Positioned as one of the country’s largest and most established professional dog-walking and pet-sitting franchises, Fetch! operates across North America under exclusive, protected territories. Its emphasis on vetted caregivers, consistent client communication and reliable scheduling underpins a strong base of repeat customers.

Why buy a Fetch! Pet Care Franchise?

Buying a Fetch! Pet Care franchise offers entry into the resilient, recurring-revenue pet services category behind a recognized national brand. Pet care spending has proven durable across economic cycles, and standing dog-walking and pet-sitting clients create predictable, repeatable demand rather than one-off projects.

The ownership model is built for low overhead: it is home-based, needs no storefront, and lets the owner scale by recruiting and scheduling a team of vetted caregivers. Franchisees gain an online booking and billing platform, established operating systems, marketing support and the backing of parent company Phoenix Franchise Brands, whose shared infrastructure spans marketing, training, technology and business development. Exclusive territory rights protect a defined local market.

Fetch! Pet Care – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training covers 32 hours of classroom instruction and 15 hours of on-the-job training, spanning pet care standards, business operations, marketing and customer management. Owners run the business on a proprietary online scheduling and billing platform and receive ongoing support from Phoenix Franchise Brands' dedicated teams across marketing and branding, training and operations, business development, and technology and customer management. When buying an existing Fetch! resale, confirm what transfer training the franchisor provides to incoming ownership and that platform access and the caregiver roster carry over with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits an organized, customer-focused local operator who is comfortable building and managing a team rather than personally handling every visit. No prior pet care experience is required, but owners should be dependable, responsive and strong at scheduling, recruiting and retaining caregivers and at managing client relationships and community referrals. It fits people who want a flexible, home-based business and who enjoy combining day-to-day operations and local marketing with a genuine commitment to animal care.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Fetch! Pet Care has been featured on Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500 and recognized by Franchise Business Review for franchisee satisfaction, and the brand has been named among America's lowest-risk, low-cost franchise opportunities. It positions itself as one of the country's largest and most trusted professional dog-walking and pet-sitting franchises, backed by strong customer reviews across local markets (4.7/5 from more than 3,300 reviews). For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews and referral sources.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pet industry is large and durable: Americans spent roughly $152 billion on their pets in 2024 (APPA), with pet services such as boarding, walking and sitting among the faster-growing segments. Demand for professional dog walking and pet sitting is driven by rising pet ownership, the humanization of pets and busy, dual-income households needing reliable daily care. Spending has held up well through downturns, giving the category recurring, recession-resistant traits. For resale buyers, local demand depends on neighborhood density, household incomes and competition from independent sitters and apps.
