Attention Dog Lovers! Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire an established pet care business serving an affluent suburban Chicago market for nearly two decades. The company has built a loyal base of 400+ active clients and provides recurring dog walking, pet sitting, in-home boarding, and related pet care services through an experienced field team.
The business benefits from strong organic search visibility, excellent customer reviews, recurring demand, and a highly diversified customer base. Operations are supported by established scheduling, billing, client communication, and staff management systems, allowing the business to operate without the expense of a commercial facility.
Significant opportunities remain for a new owner to grow through modest price increases, expanded marketing, additional service offerings, and geographic expansion. The current owner is selling as part of a planned retirement and will assist with a successful transition.
