The Opportunity
This is something that will have any ambitious entrepreneur’s tail wagging: a rare chance to acquire a well-established Barking Mad dog sitting franchise which has remarkable potential for growth.
Based in Chichester, the current owner has successfully operated the franchise as a lifestyle business for over 12 years. In that time the business has built a stellar reputation with local dog owners, with a remarkable 95% customer retention rate which ensures consistent income.
The exclusive territory is extensive, spanning three times the size of new Barking Mad franchise areas, much of which has remained untapped. The new owner could significantly increase revenue and profits quickly by targeting underutilised areas within the region.
Operating from home, this low-overhead business offers exceptional flexibility. It is perfect for a dog lover with entrepreneurial aspirations, combining the joy of working with pets with the opportunity to generate a strong recurring income.
The franchise comes with comprehensive business support from the franchisor, including ongoing training, marketing assistance, and technical tools to streamline operations.
With dog ownership in the UK at an all-time high – and growing – now is the ideal time to invest in this thriving and recession-proof sector.

Franchisees benefit from Barking Mad’s leading support system, which includes initial training, continuous professional development, and marketing assistance such as national PR campaigns and social media content creation. The franchisor’s ISO 9001 accreditation ensures consistent quality and operational excellence.
