This dog daycare and boarding business operates from a built-out 9,300 square foot facility under a nationally recognized franchise system, serving pet owners across Wayne County, Michigan. Revenue comes from daily and recurring daycare attendance, overnight boarding that spikes during holiday travel seasons, and retail and add-on services, all run out of a single high-capacity location.

The operation runs on a 20-person team led by a full-time general manager and an assistant manager, supported by shift leads and canine coaches. The current owner works roughly 5-15 hours per week from home, handling payroll, reporting, and occasional manager meetings, and stepping in only during peak boarding periods. This makes it a semi-absentee operation with day-to-day management already in place.

The sale includes the equipment, fixtures, technology, and inventory inside the building, along with the franchise relationship and trained staff. It suits an owner-operator, a multi-unit franchise investor, or a buyer looking to step into an established pet care location with management continuity from day one.

Detailed Information

Inventory:: $15,000
Included in asking price
Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment (FF&E):: $90,000
Included in asking price
Employees:: 19 Full-time
Facilities:: The business occupies a 9,300-square-foot leased facility in a prime, high-visibility commercial area. The current lease rate is highly competitive and significantly below comparable facilities in similar premium markets, providing an attractive long-term occupancy cost. The lease also includes multiple renewal options, offering added stability and flexibility for future ownership. The sale includes approximately $90,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment, including computers, dog crates, and all in-building assets, plus approximately $15,000 in inventory. All assets are less than six years old and have been actively maintained. A vehicle paid for by the business but personally owned by the seller is excluded from the sale.
Competition:: Demand is driven by working pet owners needing daily daycare and by holiday and vacation boarding, with revenue split between recurring daycare attendance and seasonal overnight stays. Operating under a nationally recognized franchise brand provides marketing systems, brand recognition, and operating standards that local independents lack, while the build-out cost and trained staffing create a meaningful barrier to entry. The established location and management team position the business as a known destination in its market.
Growth & Expansion:: A buyer can add grooming, which the seller estimates at $200,000-plus in untapped annual potential, and build out structured training services alongside existing daycare. Daycare membership counts can be grown through the search and social channels that have historically driven new customers, and there is room for a price increase that has not yet been implemented this year. Extending hours and deepening boarding capacity during peak travel seasons offer further upside on the current footprint.
Support & Training:: Training and support are negotiable, and the seller is willing to provide a transition period as mutually agreed upon by both parties to ensure continuity with the existing management team.
Reason for Selling:: Owner pursuing a new venture and family health reasons
Franchise:: This business is an established franchise
