An established dog daycare and overnight boarding business is available for acquisition in coastal Maine. The company serves an existing base of pet owners through a straightforward service model that combines recurring daycare activity with higher-ticket overnight boarding. The business has developed a positive local reputation through attentive animal care, responsive communication, and a thoughtful customer and dog-intake process.
The company generated $110,397 in revenue and $50,061 in reported Seller’s Discretionary Earnings in 2025. Reported SDE has increased over the three-year period presented, rising from $38,242 in 2023 to $42,316 in 2024 and $50,061 in 2025. Prospective buyers should independently review and verify all financial adjustments and normalizations during due diligence.
Employees handle most routine operating responsibilities, including the daily care and supervision of the dogs. The current owner primarily oversees banking, purchasing, customer communication, administrative matters, and general ownership responsibilities. The owner believes a successor could oversee the operation in approximately 20 to 30 hours per week, depending on the buyer’s management style and desired level of involvement.
The acquisition includes the operating business, furniture, fixtures and equipment, inventory, goodwill, and company-owned real estate. The approximately 3,882-square-foot facility is situated on approximately one acre and allows the buyer to acquire both the business and its operating location rather than relying on a third-party lease.
Potential growth opportunities include introducing grooming or expanded training services, implementing pet-care management software, improving scheduling and customer communication systems, and evaluating future facility expansion. The current owner is selling in preparation for retirement and is willing to provide training and transition support following closing.
Additional business, financial, operational, asset, and property information will be made available to qualified buyers after execution of a confidentiality agreement.
