What It Takes To Become a DogWatch Dealer

If your are responsible, enjoy working with people and pets, have good communication skills
and want to own your own business, you have the core qualities that define DogWatch Dealers.


DogWatch Dealers come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many DogWatch Dealerships are owned and operated by couples who both actively participate in the business. Many Dealerships are owned by women. Our Dealer network is comprised of young "go-getters" as well as recent retirees looking for a business opportunity - - and everything else in-between.

  • a strong entrepreneurial characteristic,
  • a drive to succeed,
  • good communication skills, and
  • a commitment to outstanding customer service!
