This industry is evolving for the second time in a decade. Over the last ten years, thousands of entrepreneurs saw the demand for dog daycare and boarding and built businesses to meet it. Now many of them are working to professionalize and hold their ground in a more competitive market.

The biggest players are investing heavily in technology and training, and raising the bar for what it takes to compete. Many are backed by national capital and run from a distance — and a business this personal tends to lose something when the people making decisions aren't the ones who know the dogs, the customers, and the team. We think the technology and training are good for the industry. We also believe that local leadership with strong ties to the front line of the business is critical to building something enduring.

We see an opportunity to build a regional brand strong enough to compete with the national consolidators, run by people who are actually in the business. We want to pair capital with experienced, servant-leader operators to build a business that prioritizes its front-line employees and provides the highest-quality care for the dogs entrusted to its team.

We are looking to partner with like-minded entrepreneurs who want to keep growing what they've built. If any of this resonates, please message us below.
