Friends For Pets

Friends For Pets Friends for Pets was set up in the Cheddar area of Somerset in 2008. Lucy manages the Brecon Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Team. Lucy moved back to Brecon in 2021.

We are a pet sitting company offering a range of very flexible pet care services including:-
Dog Walking
Overnight dog boarding
Doggy day care
Adventure Walks
Cat Sitting
Pet Visits to your home
House Sitting
Poo Collection Within a couple of months of starting up, rapid growth of the company meant a couple of extra pairs of hands were needed to help with the increasing number of clients. This gro

wth continued until we had around 85 pet carers covering a large area of the South West. This was proving very difficult to manage from one central office and standards of service were slipping so it was decided to franchise the company so each area could be managed by a person local to the area who could keep the highest standards of pet care and allow a more controlled growth of the company. Each team has a small, long-standing team of pet carers that become extended members of our clientโ€™s families. Becca is exceptionally picky with who is awarded a franchise and only looks for animal-focused franchise owners who are driven by the same ethics and standards as herself making us stand apart from other franchised pet companies. A few years on and we have developed an Award-Winning team of expert managers and pet carers who offer the highest standard of Pet Care that we can to local communities. She lives in Brecon with her two fur babies, Maisie and Alfie the miniature dachshunds. She has always been an animal lover, having grown up in the Brecon area with cats and dogs in her family, as well as guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even terrapins at one point! Her background is in law and she qualified as a solicitor in 2010. In 2018, when Lucy lived in Bristol and was looking for day care options for Maisie and Alfie, she came across Friends for Pets. She ended up having a conversation with Becca which turned out to be life changing โ€“ it came at a time when Lucy was feeling totally disillusioned with working full time in an office environment. She knew she wanted to do something else so when Becca mentioned that an opportunity had come up in the Bristol team she jumped at the chance, and the rest is history! The Brecon team is managed by Lucy and Elen. We now have an absolutely amazing pet care offering in the Brecon area. All of our pet carers have close relationships with their clients and their pets and the team really does aim to be part of your extended family! Lucy, Elen and the team can offer dog walking, overnight home from home dog boarding, doggy day care, pet visits, overnight house sitting and other services tailored to the needs of you and your pet. We are always looking for excellent pet carers to join the team, so if you are interested in a role with us please apply via our website. Please do get in contact with either of us with any questions or for further information about how we can help you.

๐ŸŽˆ ๐ŸŒŸ Happy 3rd Birthday to us ๐ŸŒŸ ๐ŸŽˆ

We cannot believe we've been open in Brecon for 3 years! We've met and looked after so many wonderful fur babies (we can't feature them all here, there's just so many ๐Ÿ’—).

So a few thank you's:

๐Ÿ• to our wonderful customers! It has been a pleasure to work for you for the past 3 years and we love the relationships we build with you all.

๐Ÿ• to our current pet carers; Ellie, Wendi, Catrin, Lesley, Siรขn and Nigel. We couldn't do this without you!

๐Ÿ• and of course, to the wonderful furry friends we've made along the way! Cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and skinny pigs, fish, hamsters, horses and donkeys. We love you all and you're the reason we do what we do!

We love our job and count ourselves incredibly lucky to spend everyday working with animals!

Let's see what the next year brings โค๏ธ

Love Lucy and Elen x

๐Ÿšจ Important Update: New Law on Dog Theft ๐Ÿšจ

The new law to crack down on dog theft officially comes into force! ๐Ÿพ
This is a huge win for all of us who care deeply about the safety and well-being of our furry friends. Under the new rules, offenders will face tougher penalties for stealing pets, recognising the deep emotional bond between dogs and their owners. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ•

At Friends for Pets, we take your petโ€™s safety seriously, which is why we do not use marked vehicles during pet transport. Hereโ€™s why:

Safety First: Marked vehicles can make your pet a target for thieves. By keeping our vehicles unbranded, we reduce attention and ensure your petโ€™s journey remains as secure as possible.
Discreet and Stress-Free: We aim to provide a calm and private experience for your dog, so avoiding advertising our service on the road helps keep things low-key and less stressful.
Welfare is Our Priority: Keeping our transport discreet not only protects your pet but also contributes to a safer overall environment for pets in the community.

Weโ€™re here to give you peace of mind while ensuring your petโ€™s safety, every step of the way! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

Ambassador of the month AUGUST: Lucy Mills Friends For Pets Friends for Pets Bristol and Brecon. In 2018, when Lucy was looking for day care options for Maisie and Alfie her two miniature dachshunds, she came across Friends for Pets. Lucy still wanted to have a career in Law so has always worked part time in her Law job as well as owning her Bristol franchise. After success in Bristol, Lucy took on an additional franchise in Brecon. By 2021 Lucy was running two successful businesses and working part time in Law! On top of all this professional success, Lucy now has the wonderful gift of beautiful baby girl. The Friends for Pets team is incredibly proud of Lucy and how much she has achieved over such a small period of time is inspirational.
