Steady, Profitable Independent Pet Boarding and Dog Training Center
Business Description
This is a wonderful opportunity for an owner-operator to run an independently owned (no franchise fees) pet boarding business with on-site dog training classes. The business has been built by an owner who is a pet industry leader and pet advocate. After the sale, the owner will continue to run her in-clients'-home pet businesses including pet sitting and behavioral training. A new owner will benefit from a strong connection with the current owner and cross-referrals. The owner is highly motivated to help her successor experience positive results in this boarding and training business that has rewarded her immensely.
The business typically employs 12-14 dog and pet enthusiasts. All dog handlers are trained in Off-Leash Dog Play and Canine Body Language. This boutique business provides a level of care that has generated hundreds of positive reviews from owners seeking a special place for their pets during the day, overnight stays, or extended stays. Their ability to accommodate dogs, cats and other pets provides a one-stop service for owners with multiple types of pets.
Pet ownership in the U.S. has jumped significantly over the past three decades. As of 2024, 66% of U.S. households (86.9 million homes) own a pet. That’s up from 56% in 1988. From companionship to emotional support, pets are a vital part of their owners’ lives. - Forbes
