How Much Can You Earn When You Start a Doggy Daycare?

If you want to start a doggy daycare that actually earns well in the first year, here’s what you can expect.

Most full-time home doggy daycares in the UK earn £53,000+ per year – with many hitting £65,000+ once fully booked and offering add-on services.

This isn’t a side hustle – It’s a real business, in huge demand, that can genuinely earn more than most UK jobs.

Right now, demand massively exceeds supply – Most daycares have waiting lists of up to 3 months and every extra dog you take can add up to £300–£500 per month to your income.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to quit your job tomorrow – Read our blog on starting part-time.

I have ran my business for over 10 years, unfortunately we were awarded a 1 star last year. Understandably we were gutted and felt it would be a huge task to get the star rating up, that's when I found The Paw Print manual, following Laura's advice, guidance and templates, I am proud to say, with a little work  we are now back at 5 Stars.

“I’ve been talking about starting my own doggy daycare for years but never knew where to begin. Every time I looked into it, the amount of information and legal stuff was overwhelming. The Paw Print Manual broke it all down into simple steps, real advice from someone who’s actually done it. It covered things I didn’t even know I needed to think about, and the examples made it all feel doable. Honestly, worth every penny!!”

The layout and detail is spot on. Laura clearly knows what she is doing and the customer templates and contracts were a massive bonus. I’ve spent the last few months looking for something that’s professional and easy to send to customers but found myself struggling and not sure where to even start. Everything is easy to understand, practical and with honest humour. You can tell it’s built on real experience, not theory. Loved reading Laura’s story and couldn’t recommend enough.
