Located in a country setting in Michigan, between Grand Rapids and Lansing, this business currently offers dog boarding, cat boarding and dog daycare to an extensive, established client base. This turnkey business comes with all the equipment you need to start making money from day one and has many growth opportunities, either by adding more boarding or by adding grooming and/or training. Why spend your time and money building your own facility and then waiting a year or more for a paycheck, when you can hit the ground running with reservations already on the schedule into next year?!

The property sits on 1.5 acres and consists of a 2,700 sq ft 4 bedroom, 2 bath home and a 1,900 sq ft kennel building, plus a 1,700 sq ft barn that includes a 1,200 sq ft indoor play/training area with new epoxy flooring installed in 2023. The kennel is a remodeled veterinary clinic, completed in 2019 and has 20 indoor Mason Company Sani-Kennels, epoxy flooring, employee restroom, reception area and a dog bathing room that was remodeled in 2024. One of the three outdoor play areas has pea gravel, while the other two offer a half-acre of fenced grass. Dimmable lighting, mesh WiFi throughout the property, speakers, webcams and smart switches make it easy to monitor and control most aspects of the kennel right from your phone. The automatic standby generator lets you rest easy knowing that your guests will always be comfortable and safe!

Other significant updates that have been made since 2019 include a new roof and spray foam insulation in the kennel, new appliances throughout the kennel and home, new front door and siding on the home, new home air conditioner, updated bathrooms, new flooring and paint in home.

The business currently employs 3 part-time dog handlers who run playtimes and perform all necessary cleaning tasks. The business is located on a main thoroughfare without any other real competition in the area and no direct neighbors. Many clients drive an hour or more just to board their dogs at this state-of-the-art facility. Net income through the first 6 months of 2025 was up 19% over 2024! Eliminate the four one-week closures that are scheduled each year for additional revenue.
