Selling Your Dog Daycare, Boarding, or Pet Care Business? Get a Free, Confidential Valuation.

Leave your pack in good hands — sell to the most trusted name in pet care, with no broker fees.

If you own an independent dog daycare, boarding facility, grooming business, or pet resort and you're ready to retire, you have more options than a traditional business-for-sale listing or a commission-hungry broker. Camp Bow Wow, the most trusted name in the pet care industry, works directly with owners of independent pet care businesses to facilitate a smooth, confidential sale or conversion — connecting you with a network of vetted, passionate buyers who will honor the business and the clients you've built.

How is my dog daycare or boarding business valued?

Businesses are valued on a multiple of your profitability. There are other factors that can improve the multiple your buyer offers. That could include your recurring client base, staff and certifications, facility condition and equipment, lease terms, and licensing. Our team walks you through this evaluation before any offer is made, so you know what your business is worth.

How long does the process take from first contact to closing?

Timelines vary based on your business and circumstances, but the process generally moves from an initial confidential conversation through evaluation, buyer connection, and closing over the course of a few months. When you inquire, our team will give you a specific estimate based on your situation.

Will my sale be kept confidential from my staff and clients?

Yes. We understand that confidentiality matters to you, your staff, and your clients. Sale discussions are handled discreetly, and you control the timeline for when a transition becomes public.

What documents or records do I need to provide?

In the beginning, we typically need 3 years of P&Ls and financial statements to get a basic evaluation. Once you have an offer in the form of a signed LOI, our franchisees are going to request more information from you. Tax Returns, Balance Sheets, client and booking records, a staff roster, your lease agreement, and current licensing and permit documentation are just a few examples of documents everyone requires. We'll give you a clear checklist early in the process.

What happens to my facility's equipment, lease, and licensing?

This is addressed as part of transition planning. Our team helps evaluate how your kennels, play areas, webcam or monitoring systems, lease, and state or local licensing factor into the sale and handoff.

What happens to my staff and my regular clients after the sale?

We provide the technology, training, and support to make sure your staff are taken care of from Day 1. Continuity of your team and your regular boarding and daycare families is a key part of the transition plan — your clients continue getting the same trusted care they know.

Do I need to already be profitable to sell my pet care business?

Not necessarily, but this will impact the offer and finance options our franchisees have available. We understand that every situation is different. We take the time to evaluate the full picture — your client base, staff, facility, and market — not just current profitability. Reach out for a confidential evaluation even if you're unsure whether your business qualifies.

Can I convert my business instead of selling it outright?

Yes. If you'd like to stay involved in your business while gaining the systems, brand, and support of Camp Bow Wow, converting your existing facility may be a better fit than a full sale. Learn more on our Convert Your Business page.
