About Pawsome Comps
At Pawsome Comps, we’re more than just a competition website – we’re a family (really, we are, Jess & Marcus are together and Samantha is Marcus’ sister) of passionate dog parents dedicated to celebrating the furry companions who make our lives brighter.
Our journey began with the shared love for dogs when Marcus started the Pup Up Cafe in 2017. With a combined decade plus of experience in the dog industry, we’ve witnessed first hand the joy and boundless love that our four-legged friends bring into our lives.
Driven by our devotion to dogs and the love of the idea of winning some amazing prizes from as little as 99p, we embarked on a mission to create something truly special — a platform where dog parents from all walks of life can come together to share in the excitement of friendly competition and win incredible prizes tailored to their furry friends whilst supporting a business that helps the dog community.
Based in the heart of Devon, our family-run business is fueled by a deep-rooted passion for giving back to both our local community and the wider world of dog lovers. We believe that every dog deserves to experience the best that life has to offer, whether it’s a paid year’s worth of scenic dog walks with your local dog walker, luxurious grooming sessions to pamper their precious coats, or unforgettable dog-friendly holidays that create lasting memories. The humans are important too though right… That’s why we’ll be offering life changing prizes such as brand new cars with custom dog crates built in and plenty of essentials, dog walking gear and more.
Pawsome Comps is more than just about winning prizes — it’s about celebrating the unbreakable bond between humans and their canine companions. It’s about fostering connections, sharing stories, and spreading pawsitivity one competition at a time.
Join us on this tail-wagging adventure as we embark on a journey filled with fun, laughter, and a whole lot of doggy love. Together, let’s make every moment with our beloved pups truly pawsome!
Our Staff
Marcus & Ted/Tilly (@tillsandteds)
The founder of Pup Up Cafe and Pawsome Comps, it’s safe to say Marcus has a love for dogs and running small businesses! Aside from the work in the year before we launched, Marcus is the office guy doing most of the planning, management and bits that need to be done to bring Pawsome to life and keep it running smoothly.
“I love running the Pup Up Cafe, it’s so much fun to run dog experiences for people across the UK. The only thing missing for me is the ability to provide life altering opportunities for people and their pups. I’m proud to say we’ve raised over £10k for dog charities with Pup Up Cafe so far but with Pawsome Comps, I’m hoping we can form a really great community of dog owners and that all of them get to win some truly amazing prizes whilst also creating a platform to give back to the local community and the wider dog community in a bigger capacity.”
Jess & Neegan (@naughtyneegan)
Jess is a core part of the Pawsome Comps team, running the rep team, shooting content and hosting the live draws!
“I love the Pawsome branding, designing everything to be pink and cute is my favourite vibe so I really enjoy every minute of it. When Marcus first spoke to me about the idea of Pawsome, PINK was my first input haha. Everything to do with dogs is so expensive now so I’m looking forward to people being able to spoil their dogs as much as I want to but can’t because of cost! Along with interacting with everyone in the live draws and being able to hear the excitement in winners voices when they receive the call, charity is also really important to me, I’d love to be able to say I had an impact on dog quality of life across the UK in a few years.”
Samantha & Nala (@nala_goldielocks)
Samantha is a live draw presenter and soon to be customer support/socials person when we host enough comps to bring her onboard! She has over 10 years of customer service experience along with a good few years of dog walking on the side to get that extra dog fix! If you win a prize once we get bigger, it’ll most likely be Samantha you’ll be getting a phone call from to arrange delivery/collection.
“I’m most excited to make the phone calls to the winners who have never won anything before and hear their excitement! Along with that, to dress in pink 24/7 is obviously a bonus and most importantly the chance to spoil every single dog! One of my favourite things is hosting a Pawsome Comps stand at events, meeting all of you guys and your dogs in person is always so much fun! I can’t wait until someone I’ve introduced to Pawsome at an event wins a prize with us!”
