Woofie’s receives strong grades from franchise owners for support, leadership, core values, competitiveness in independent survey

Woofie’s has been named a 2026 Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review, an honor based entirely on feedback from people who know the business best: its franchise owners. Franchise Business Review’s annual Franchisee Satisfaction Awards recognize franchise systems that deliver a strong, consistent experience across support, leadership, and financial opportunity.

Woofie’s®, a full-service mobile pet care franchise owned by Authority Brands, offering pet sitting, dog walking, and mobile pet spa services, stands out through its multi-service mobile model, fully customizable offerings, and strong emphasis on personalized customer service. Its scalable operations structure creates multiple revenue streams for franchise owners while meeting the growing demand for convenient, high-quality pet care.

For more than 20 years, Franchise Business Review has identified the top franchise opportunities in North America using independent, third-party research.

Unlike awards based on brand awareness, Franchise Business Review’s rankings are determined solely by franchisee satisfaction and system performance. The firm surveys franchise owners directly and evaluates results using standardized benchmarks to ensure credibility and comparability across brands.

Woofie’s® was one of more than 330 franchise brands representing over 26,000 franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review’s 2026 research. Mosquito Squad Plus, another franchise from Authority Brands, was also recognized. Franchisees evaluated their experience across 33 core benchmarks, including training and support, operations, franchisor-franchisee relations, leadership, and financial opportunity.

Key findings from Woofie’s franchisee survey overall include:

• Exceptional scores in Leadership, Core Values, Clear Vision, Franchise Community, Encouraging Team Culture, and Training and Support Programs—each averaging 15+ points above the FBR benchmark.
• A highly collaborative and supportive franchise community.
• Effective training and support programs and system-wide communication.
• Strong leadership, with a high level of clear vision and involvement of franchisees in decisions.
• Strong franchisor core values, respect, honesty, and franchisee trust.
• High local market competitiveness.
• Continued innovation and investment in franchisees’ long-term success.

“Franchisee satisfaction is one of the most reliable indicators of long-term franchise performance,” said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. “This year’s Top Franchise winners significantly outperform industry averages, demonstrating strength in the areas that matter most to franchise owners: leadership, support, innovation, culture, and financial opportunity. These brands are not just growing, they are building healthy, resilient systems.”

“Our franchise owners are the cornerstone of Woofie’s success and our top priority,” said Amy Addington, Co-founder and President of Woofie’s. “They bring the heart and soul to our brand and play a vital role in delivering exceptional pet care that sets us apart in the industry. This recognition reinforces our commitment to supporting our franchisees and ensuring they feel valued as an essential part of the Woofie’s and overall Authority Brands family.”
