  • Business Summary: Great opportunity for a pet lover or entrepreneur to own an established and reputable dog walking and pet sitting business. The company is based in Loudoun County with a focus on the western part of the county as well as the northern part of Fauquier County. The business has historically averaged 250-300 visits a week (upwards of 500 if you include vacation visits which is a service that was recently discontinued), but with the impact of COVID as of August it is now averaging 153 visits per week. The owner takes pride in hiring experienced and knowledgeable walkers and sitters. They don’t rely on high school/college students or short term help so their clients are able to get to know a familiar face with consistent levels of service and communication.

    There is a very loyal and reliable clientele base with many long standing clients. The company has a great reputation with most of their business coming from word of mouth, referral relationships, and their website. The business has a team of loving, reliable, and professional walkers and sitters who are dedicated to their customer’s pets and their needs. The owner monitors walks and appointments to ensure high levels of service and has the ability to step in and handle any issues that arise. There is also a backup walker system in place in case a regular walker is sick or has an emergency come up.

    The business currently operates out of a home office, but can be based anywhere in the service area. The business is nicely set up to be expanded into nearby markets. The owner is selling due to moving out of the area and we don’t expect this opportunity to last long!

  • Description of Facilities: Home based business.
  • Competition: There is standard competition for the industry and market, but this business has an excellent reputation in the area. They have walkers and pet sitters who are experienced in caring for their own and others' pets, and enjoy building relationships with clients and their pets. The business has back up walkers for last minute emergencies and the owner monitors visits from the office to ensure that everything is happening as it should.
  • Growth & Expansion: There are several ways to grow and expand the business. The first would be to target the eastern half of Loudoun County and offer more services in the Ashburn, Sterling, and South Riding markets as there is a strong/increasing demand for dog walking and pet care in that part of the county. A new owner might want to bring on more walkers to exclusively focus on those areas. There is also opportunity in expanding the hours to offer services earlier or later in the day, and an opportunity to expand vacation services.
  • Seller Financing Available: Yes
  • Seller Financing Terms: Seller is willing to provide financing based on the final purchase price, terms and qualifications of the buyer.
  • Reason For Sale: Owner is moving out of the area.
  • Seller Support & Training: Seller will provide necessary training and support.
