Dog walking, pet care, cat visits, dog boarding, pet taxi and animal ambulances. Welcome from Ann and Iain, co-managing directors. Animals at home is a pet care franchise company formed in 2003 to provide first class animal care services from franchised branches throughout the UK. Branches are small businesses owned by a pet carer franchisee. New franchisees receive industry-leading start-up, training, mentoring and ongoing support: from before they become an operational pet carer and right through their franchisee career. Animals at Home is owned by co-managing directors. Ann has vast experience in sales and franchising co-ordination, business and franchise start-up and new business owner mentoring; as well as being the former general manager of Animals at Home. Iain had early careers in military and civilian law enforcement but joined the company as a franchisee only two years after it was established. He later joined the management team as a trainer / mentor to new franchisees but that soon developed in to becoming the training, support and compliance manager. Iain still owns a very successful branch. Ann and Iain purchased the company in 2019 on the retirement of the founding directors. Their huge experience in the franchise industry and pet care industry with current 'hands-on' work, training, support and professional development means Animals at Home continues to grow and develop, and remains the premier animal care franchise company for the UK. A word from our wonderful franchisees. From a small pet to a smallholding we offer a variety of services based around your animals needs designed to make their lives more comfortable while you are away. If you are at work all day or just too busy, we can offer guaranteed visits to homes to ensure that feeding takes place when needed, dogs are walked and other animals are catered for. As part of the service when looking after the pets at home, we can also water plants and ensure that when our customers are away on holiday or business, that the property is secure. If you are planning a holiday or business trip and do not want to put your pets into kennels or a cattery, then we can help. We can react to emergency situations 365 day's a year to assist all owners that require our services. We are fully insured and all our carers are security checked. We also provide Pet Taxi/Animal Ambulance that will collect your pets and transport them not only to the vets, dog parlour but also beyond. Our Pet Taxi/Animal Ambulances now carry a microchip reader for identifying an animal that has been lost. We have branches throughout the UK capable of dealing with your pets in a professional, yet friendly manner.
