About the Franchise

The dream of having your own business and the excitement of being able to offer a professional and compassionate pet care service can now be a reality.

The services of Leading the Way Pet Care have been designed to support busy pet owners who value having a pet in their family but need support throughout their pet's life.

"Leading the Way Pet Care support has been outstanding, going above and beyond. We have never experienced this kind of commitment, helping us through the early challenges of starting a new business with no previous experience."

Andy and Michelle Corrigan

No two days will be the same! Come rain or shine, dog walking will take you to a fantastic variety of places and you'll be meeting new owners and pets.
