About Lonely Pets Club
Love animals? A UNIQUE alternative to other pet care franchises. The first and only pet sitting and dog walking company to franchise in Australia, Lonely Pets Club has been operating since 2003 and has thousands of members all over Melbourne. A fantastic lifestyle choice for business minded pet lovers.
So why Pet Sitting and what is it exactly?!
Pet sitting provides an alternative to the use of kennels or catteries while
pets owners are away. The pets stay at home in their own environment and Lonely
Pets Club Carers visit to care for them. Walking, feeding, loving and cuddling
are all part of the day to day life of a Lonely Pets Club franchisee. No back
breaking dog washing is required!
The company motto sums it up ...
"We care when you're not there"
This is an exciting new industry which has taken off in the US and UK and is now
starting to make an impact in Australia.
Does this sound like your ideal business? Work with the animals you love, making a positive difference to their lives.
Operate in your own local area.
Build a business with the training, support and guidance of your Lonely Pets
Club Support Office.
Be part of the exciting new and growing pet sitting industry in the largest pet

No back breaking dog washing required, this is not not a grooming business.

walk them!

Happy Pets, Happy Clients = Repeat Business
We get a huge amount of positive feedback from our members, some of which can be
seen on our website. Here are just a couple of
examples:
You guys are doing a fantastic job, and I had the opportunity to see how Dookie
reacted when he was picked up by one of his walkers last week when I was around
the corner from home with him - he obviously loves them and is treated really
well by them. I have not seen him that excited to see someone other than me for
a while, so I'm really pleased with the service. I've also seen a bit of an
improvement in his behaviour as he's not as bored anymore.
- Jeanette, Middle Park
My 2 cats were looked after beautifully and didn’t show any of the anxiety
associated with going to a cattery nor the trauma. Belinda tidied up wonderfully
and I couldn’t tell I had been away for 5 days. I liked the fact I was left a
detailed note of how my cats had behaved. I will use your service again and hope
that it is Belinda who cares for my cats again as I would trust her. I will
recommend you.
