Skiptown is a modern, technology-driven pet-care franchise that combines high-quality services for dogs with a premium, community-focused experience for their owners. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Skiptown began franchising in 2025 after proving its concept through successful corporate locations in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Denver.

Skiptown offers a full suite of pet-care services—dog daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, and in-home dog walking services. The brand’s franchise model focuses on a “pet care only” prototype designed for scalability, while the company’s original flagship locations include large indoor/outdoor off-leash dog parks, turfed play areas, and even social spaces featuring bars for dog owners.

A key differentiator for Skiptown is its technology platform. Through its proprietary mobile app, pet parents can manage bookings, track their dog’s activities, receive photo and video updates, and enjoy streamlined curbside drop-off and pick-up. This tech-enabled experience helps franchisees deliver exceptional service and operational efficiency while meeting modern pet-owner expectations for convenience and transparency.

Franchisees benefit from comprehensive support that includes site selection assistance, build-out and design guidance, pre-opening training, operational systems, technology setup, marketing resources, and ongoing business coaching. Skiptown’s leadership team brings deep experience from the franchising, hospitality, and pet-services industries, positioning franchisees for long-term, successful support for their business.
