Concept Overview
Out-U-Go! began providing in-home pet care in 1996
in Oak Park, IL, when in-home care was just a fledgling industry. Responding to the changing American culture and desire for professional care for their pets in the safety, convenience, and comfort of their own homes, Out-U-Go! offered daily walks for dogs while their people were at work and vacation care for dogs, cats, and critters while their people were out of town.

You had me at “out”
By combining amazing care for pets Pets Live in 63% of American Households with excellent customer service for people, and a fun, positive
outlook on pets and business, Out-U-Go! quickly grew from its humble beginnings to being one of the premier in-home pet care services in the country. Today, as the need for professional in-home pet care continues to grow. Out-UGo! now offers franchises supported with the knowledge and systems we have created and developed through the many years of being out there and doing it.
woof. m I ndustry Summary
Pets Live in 63% of American Households according to XXX. The result is one of the most thriving industries in the US economy. American spent $42 billion on their pets in 2006, up from $17 billion in 1994. That means the American pet industry is bigger than the film industry, on line music, and gaming combined. And that number is expected to continue increasing. (can be in a footnote??according to the New York Times and Business Weekly.)

small independent pet sitters, Out-U-Go! brings a professional business model with sophisticated operational, marketing, and software systems. This allows us to offer pets and pet parents a superior level of pet care compared to our competitors. Fun, Positive Outlook Although we are an industry leader with professional flair, we haven’t lost sight of the fact that pets are fun. We’re always looking to bring a level of play to everything we do. Variety of Services Because the needs of pet owners are as varied as the pets themselves, we offer a wide range of services that can be tailored to each household: Daily Dog Walks, Vacation Care, Kitty Care, Critter Care, and Housesitting. As an Out-U-Go! franchisee, you’ll offer these same amazing services in your market. Proven Systems and Technology We have been developing our systems since 1996 so that you don’t have to. With hundreds of thousands of pet care visits under our leashes, we know what works and what doesn’t. We have streamlined our billing systems to allow you to bill clients automatically, easily, and efficiently for improved cash flow. We have easy to use, efficient phones and email systems and our own proprietary software this allows us to spend our time delivering great pet care, instead of on inefficient technology.
