Hot Listing
Established, High-Growth Pet Services Platform for Acquisition
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly reputable and well-established dog daycare, grooming, and boarding business operating in an affluent Mid-Atlantic market since 1986.
The business is run by the owner and has one general manager. The company has 8,890 active
pet owners in their system with 9,869 dogs. The company has two spaces used to operate the business

dogs for services. Shop hours are 7am-7pm, and four receptionists rotate between the two reception areas.
The professional grooming department has three groomers, six days a week. Other grooming employees
are necessary to meet demand (35-40 dogs per day), dog bathers and grooming assistants. There are
three doggie daycare areas that support 60+ dogs a day and there are six daycare attendants working with
them. Dog boarding is set at 16 dogs a day due to the current kennel configuration and is handled by
daycare staff. A small space in each reception area is devoted to selling boutique retail items as well as a
bakery case with specialty dog treats. This Company is an ideal acquisition target for a strategic operator. The business boasts a massive, loyal customer base of nearly 9,000 active pet owners, social media presence, and demonstrated robust revenue growth (16.2% CAGR 2021-2024).
Key Investment Highlights (Post-NDA Access):
Large Facility: Over 9,000 square feet.
Scalable Growth: Opportunity to double high-margin boarding revenue immediately and launch high-cash-flow ancillary services (dog training, enhanced retail) using existing square footage.
