The FlipFlop™  Franchise Opportunity

The best businesses are born from a market need and FlipFlop™ is no exception.  Many dog owners just can’t bring themselves to leave their pups in kennels when they are away.  They don’t want to impose on family and friends, and they don’t feel comfortable having a stranger enter their home to pet sit.  This is where the FlipFlop franchise comes in. 

FlipFlop Dogs, LLC. offers a market-tested business opportunity that allows our franchisees to establish and manage their own successful business.  If you love dogs, like working from home, being your own boss and controlling your own schedule, you might want to consider becoming a FlipFlop franchisee. 

FlipFlop’s Formula for Success

Everything FlipFlop does is designed to reduce stress and provide peace of mind for our customers and a happy vacation experience for their dogs.  As a franchisee you will recruit and then meet with potential Companion Families.  Only those who meet FlipFlop’s high standards are selected.  At the same time, you will identify owners who are interested in FlipFlop’s services and then arrange an in-home visit.  Next, you match the ideal Companion Family from your portfolio of trusted dog-lovers with the dog owner.  Arrangements are then made for accommodations in a warm, friendly home environment where one-to-one care and maintaining existing routines is the priority.  In addition, you offer hassle-free pick up and return.

Is a FlipFlop franchise right for you?

As you consider this opportunity, we will put you in touch with current franchisees who will be happy to tell you all about the advantages of owning a positive cash flow business and the financial benefits of working from home.  FlipFlop is not a seasonal business – our customers need us year round. 

If you are a dog lover and believe your business future could be within the FlipFlop franchise, contact us to set up a confidential meeting.  Can’t wait to hear from you!

Continued Support and Development

After the franchise agreement has been signed, you will have the benefit of our initial training program.  You will have all the tools you need for a quick startup.

Our well-established and successful franchise model has been carefully developed.  Our support isn’t restricted to the launching of your business.  We have a franchise development template designed to assist you for the life of your business.
