What the petition asks

Anybody paid to look after other people's animals, need to be licensed and regulated. With pet first aid and relevant insurance as a minimum.
It should be compulsory for anybody advertising to display their above details and share with their customer.
A full monitored complaint procedure
With the significant rise in dogs in the UK people are seeing dog walking and sitting as a quick way to earn big money.
There have been a number of issues both minor and major including death of the animal, uk wide due to neglectful care.
All day care, boarding and kennels businesses require a license, but there is a loophole for those who work in others property, who currently do not need a license.
The UK is a big dog loving nation and we need to stand together to protect our animals.
