Independently owned
Owner-operated dog daycare and boarding facilities. The places people in town already trust.
For Sellers
Thinking about what's next? Let's talk.
You spent years building something people rely on. Whether you're ready now or just starting to wonder about the next chapter, we always welcome an introductory conversation and keep all information confidential.
Who We're Looking For
We partner with owners, one facility at a time.
We're not trying to grow too quickly. We're looking for a handful of good facilities run by people who care, owners who want a real partner for the next chapter, not just a transaction.
Rooted in the Midwest
We focus on Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and the states around them, so we can show up in person.
Ready on your timeline
Owners open to staying on or transitioning over 1-2 years or more. We are actively looking for long term partners to help us build an industry leading dog resort.
How Valuation Works
We value the whole picture, not just a spreadsheet.
A business like yours is worth more than its numbers alone. We look at the financials and how the business runs, plus the reputation, relationships, and trust you've built along the way. We'll walk you through how it all comes together, in language that actually makes sense.
-
The numbers
Profitability, growth, and the operational metrics of your facility tell us how the business performs and where it's headed. Any multiples you've heard are illustrative only. We'll show you how yours is built.
-
The intangibles
Your reputation, your team, and the trust you've earned in your community are real value. We account for what you've built, not just what's on the books.
-
Direct or with your broker
We're equally comfortable working directly with you or alongside your broker; we have plenty of experience with both. Whatever's easiest for you works for us.
The Process
From first call to close, usually 60 to 90 days.
No surprises and no pressure. Here's the whole path, start to finish, so you'll always know what comes next.
-
Intro Call
A confidential, no-obligation conversation to get to know each other and your business.
-
NDA
We sign a mutual NDA before reviewing any financials.
-
Diligence
A straightforward review of your numbers, a site visit, and time with you and your team.
-
LOI
A written offer that lays out terms plainly, including any equity rollover and your role going forward.
-
Close
We finalize, plan the transition together, and stay alongside you through it.
Equity Rollover
Stay an owner, not just a seller.
Selling doesn't have to mean walking away from the upside.
Rolling equity means you keep a stake in the larger company we're building together, instead of cashing out entirely on day one. You take real value off the table now, and you stay invested in what comes next.
We believe the owners who built these facilities make the best partners for building something bigger. Whether you stay on to lead or ease into a new chapter, you share in the growth you help create. We're building from the ground floor, and we want our partners at the table.
Rollover is optional, and the right structure depends on your goals. We'll lay out the choices plainly so you can decide what fits.
Common Questions
The things sellers ask us first.
- Will you change my staff?
- We don't make staffing changes without the owner's involvement. Your people matter to us.
- What changes for my dogs and my clients?
- We pride ourselves on transparency. If something may change, we'll tell you up front, and any change is centered on dog safety, client satisfaction, and thoughtfully adding services that strengthen what you've built. We think of it as change happening alongside you and your interests, not to you.
- How long does the process take?
- Typically 60–90 days from first call to close, depending on diligence complexity.
- Do I need a broker?
- It's entirely up to you. We're comfortable working directly with you or alongside your broker, and we have plenty of experience with both. Whatever's easiest for you works for us.
