The Pets, Homes and Gardens Company

The UK pet care industry is one of the strongest and most resilient sectors to enter. With 60% of UK households now owning pets, demand for reliable and professional care has never been higher. The industry is worth over £9.5 billion and continues to grow every year, even during economic downturns, because pets are always treated as part of the family.

Cultural shifts are also driving growth. More adults are choosing to have fewer children or focusing on pets as companions, which has created a huge appetite for premium dog walking, home visits and personalised care.

Pet care is also naturally resistant to automation. While many industries face disruption from AI, professional pet care relies on trust, judgement and real human presence, things technology simply can’t replace. This makes pet care one of the UK’s most future-proof and human-led industries.

PHG are looking for people who want to build a hands-on business centred around working with pets every day. We don’t require professional experience, we’re simply looking for individuals with a genuine passion for animals. They must be extremely trustworthy, reliable, comfortable working outdoors in all weathers, and naturally calm, organised, and methodical. Strong communication skills are also important, as PHG businesses are built on trust and positive relationships with local clients.

The ideal candidate wants to become their own boss, stay active, and create something meaningful in their local area. They need the determination to get their business established, willing to put in the time and effort. We generally avoid applicants seeking a passive role, as this is a practical, hands-on business suited to those with a love for animals and a commitment to delivering exceptional service and professional pet care.
