Turnkey Dog Daycare & Boarding – Owner-Operator Ideal
This premier dog daycare, boarding, and spa facility enjoys an excellent reputation within its community and is known for providing a fun, safe, and impeccably clean environment. Pet parents confidently entrust their dogs to receive consistent, high-quality care delivered by a dedicated and experienced team. The facility was purpose-built to meet high standards for safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency, creating a superior experience for pets and owners alike. The business benefits from established operating systems and a seasoned staff, allowing a new owner to step in and continue operations seamlessly from day one. Recent financial performance reflects year-over-year declines in revenue and seller’s discretionary earnings, driven in part by broader economic headwinds impacting discretionary consumer spending. These conditions, combined with opportunities for more hands-on operational focus, create a clear path for growth. Meaningful upside exists through increased utilization, supported by continued long-term demand for quality pet care. This opportunity is ideally suited for a full-time, hands-on owner-operator who wants to be actively involved in day-to-day operations and capitalize on the business’s stabilization and growth potential. Due to the relatively small size of the transaction, it is likely not SBA-eligible; however, this structure can be attractive for well-capitalized buyers seeking a streamlined acquisition and direct operational involvement in a stable, service-based business. With pet ownership continuing to rise and demand growing for trusted, high-quality pet care, this business is well positioned for renewed performance under the leadership of a dedicated owner-operator.
