Make money. Love your job. Be happy.

This could be your new life.

A life where you make money doing something you love. And you're happy. Very happy.

Our concept allows you to become a successful home-based dog walker, dog runner, and dog/cat/pet sitter with very little risk. And for an amazingly affordable investment in your future happiness.

Before you read further though, please be aware that we want people who are passionate about animals first and foremost. Of course, we are a business and the ultimate goal here is to make a comfortable living. However, if you view this as just another way to make money, it probably isn't the right fit for us. We're a collective group of people who value pet happiness, healthy lifestyles, and having fun. If this sounds good to you, keep on reading.

When you become a part of our team, you're joining a very special tribe of people. And you'll be providing a very special service to the people of your community. Here's a brief overview of what makes us different - and what will make your Dogs Love Running! franchise a success:

Passionate and knowledgeable founders: John and Erica, the founders of the Dogs Love Running! system, put their nice, fancy, high-paying corporate jobs on hold to start up this company because, well, those jobs sucked. They weren't fun. And they didn't make a difference. So they followed their passions and put together a list of all the things they wanted to do and what you see here is the result. It's what they love doing. And when you love doing something, you often do it very well. But you can't live on love alone. And that's where their backgrounds come into play. John's undergraduate degree is in advertising and marketing. His DePaul University MBA has an Entrepreneurship concentration and he was a finalist in multiple business plan competitions. Combine this with 13 years of corporate recruiting experience and he's your guy for all things related to sales, marketing, business strategy, hiring/recruiting, and operations. Erica's MBA from the highly-respected University of Chicago is in finance, accounting, and economics. This education, combined with over a decade of number crunching experience at investment banks and a fortune 100 company, makes her the brains behind all the details of what to do with your money when it comes in and how to manage it. With these complimentary talents, every aspect of your franchise business will have a plan and a support system behind it.

Home-based business: Want or need to work from home? With the Dogs Love Running! opportunity, you can.

Professional image: Have you ever seen a business and were turned off simply by how their business card or brochure or website looked? Or because there was a very obvious spelling mistake on something they printed? Or because of some other detail that screamed "we don't value how we look"? We have. And we hate that. That's why everything we do to present and promote ourselves is done with the intent to look better than every other pet care service around. Hopefully you'll agree that we've succeeded in this endeavor.

Marketing materials: We have a ton of different types of professional marketing materials you can use. We've got "wraps" that cover your entire car, business cards, door hangers, post cards, "thank you" cards, magnets, post-it notes, bi-fold brochures, banners, trade show and festival booth signs and banners, and more. And all of this is professionally designed and in full color.

Company uniforms: We've got standardized shirts for both meeting with clients as well as for being "out in the field" with the dogs. They're sporty, yet professional, and add that extra touch to let clients know that you're a step up from the competition.

Marketing plan: What good is a bunch of marketing materials if you don't have a plan to use them? We'll provide you with what's worked and what hasn't so you spend your marketing money as effectively as possible. We're also wizards with internet advertising and how to best be "found" just at the time when people are ready to purchase the service you sell. If marketing isn't your strong suit, you'll be very glad to have us in your corner.

Effective and appealing website: Here's an area where you'll have a clear competitive advantage. The website you're looking at was designed from the ground up with "Search Engine Optimization" strategies in mind. Everything you see (and everything you don't see behind the scenes) has been developed to not only make our site helpful to a prospective client, but also relevant and "friendly" for search engines. What does this mean to you as a Dogs Love Running! business owner? It means that when people are looking for what you sell, they'll find you quicker and easier than your competitor.

Training and coaching: We're here every step of the way for you. From the second you decide to join our team through each and every day afterwards, we'll give you the training you need to get started and the coaching you'll want to be able to continue to make the most of your business opportunity.

Business policies and procedures: This is the glue that holds your business together. From your first day on, we'll give you every detail you'll need to know to run and operate your business for maximum fun and profitability.

Technology: You can run your entire business from your smart phone. Yes, you read that correctly. The Dogs Love Running! system can be operated from the palm of your hand, anywhere you are. On any internet-capable smart phone. And on a Mac or a PC. We've designed this system to be as streamlined and simple as possible. With that in mind, every system we utilize can be accessed and used through your laptop and smart phone. Going on vacation? No problem. You can check on and run things from half-way around the world. We love technology. It sometimes causes minor frustrations, but the effective use of it makes our business easier to run while, at the same time, providing a better experience for both your team members and clients.

So, that's a brief overview of what we can do for you. For the right person, we think that this opportunity is a perfect fit.  Contact us below and let us know that you're interested in finding out more.  It's free and easy to learn more - and no annoying salesperson will be calling  you.

Note: we may not be registered in your state as a franchisor (yet).  Although you may still contact us no matter where you live, in no way should anything we say be construed as an offer to sell you franchise until we are a registered franchisor in  your area.
