Since Covid-19, the way we work has changed forever. Remote working and hybrid models are now part of everyday life. According to the Office for National Statistics (2025), 41% of UK workers now work partly or entirely from home. Pre-Covid, only 6% worked from home — so home-based work has grown massively in popularity.
Working from home has so many flexibilities, including:
- No commute to the office
- Saving hours each week in travel time
- Greater flexibility in how you plan your day
But what if you want even more freedom — the chance to work for yourself? Let’s look at the benefits of starting your own business from home.
Why Start a Business from Home?
- No office or workspace rent
- Work the hours that suit you
- No boss (or colleagues you don’t get along with!)
- Potential tax savings
- No unpaid commuting time
Why a Franchise Can Be the Smarter Choice
Franchising gives you the freedom of running your own business — but with the support of a proven system. Benefits include:
- Lower risk of failure
- Tools to get started immediately
- Support from day one (and ongoing)
- A tried-and-tested business model
- Brand recognition from the start
The Pets 2 Places Difference: Why a Pet Taxi Franchise?
Here’s what makes our franchise unique:
- A nationally recognised brand
- Little to no direct competition
- A top-performing Google-ranked website
- Training from the UK’s leading authority on pet transport
- Support in every aspect of running your business

Real Variety, Real Rewards
Working from home doesn’t mean every day feels the same. At Pets 2 Places, no two days are alike. One day you could be taking a cat to Scotland, the next you’re off to the train station with a dog and their owner. We take pets to vets, groomers, kennels, and even on holiday.
And unlike most jobs, you’re paid for your entire time — including the commute to your customer’s house. That means more of your time is truly valued.
Why Pets 2 Places?
- Flexible hours
- Low overheads (all you need is a kitchen table and a love of animals!)
- Work that is meaningful and rewarding
Working from home can be life-changing. If you’re ready for a flexible, animal-filled career with the backing of a trusted national brand, a Pets 2 Places franchise could be the perfect opportunity.
