Where Thoughtful Ownership Meets Uncommon Hospitality

We acquire and grow exceptional pet boarding businesses with care, continuity, and long-term commitment. We're not just investors — we're operators who understand what it takes to run a great pet resort.

Our Mission

Three core principles guide everything we do

Preserve What You've Built

You've created something special. Our goal is to honor your reputation, your team, and your name — not to erase them.

Deliver Hospitality Pets Deserve

Every dog or cat is treated like family. From the front desk to the play yard, we lead with love, cleanliness, and professionalism.

Invest in Sustainable Growth

We enhance what works — adding smart upgrades like better systems, expanded services (grooming, transport, daycare), and team development opportunities.

Why Business Owners Choose Us

Fair, Flexible Transitions

We tailor every deal to your needs — whether you're ready to retire or want to stay involved for a period of time.

Your Brand and Team Stay Intact

We don't believe in wiping the slate clean. We retain your name, your staff, and the unique culture your customers trust.

Real Operational Expertise

We operate pet boarding businesses ourselves — including PawsVIP, the largest facility near SeaTac Airport. We know this business because we're in it every day.

Optional Long-Term Participation

Some owners choose to share in future profits or potential value growth when we combine multiple businesses. While entirely optional, these structures allow you to stay financially connected, even after you step away.

Who We Partner With

We're acquiring independently owned pet care businesses with:

$500K–$5M in annual revenue

Strong customer base and loyal staff

Owners looking for a smooth, respectful exit or gradual transition

Opportunities to enhance services or operations

Located in Washington, Oregon, or surrounding states

Growth & Continuity

Once you're ready, we take over day-to-day operations and continue to grow the business thoughtfully.

About Us

We're entrepreneurs, operators, and animal lovers building a long-term family of high-quality pet care businesses across the Pacific Northwest. We've run teams, cleaned kennels, handled logistics, talked to thousands of customers — and we love it.

We're backed by long-term capital and a simple philosophy:

Do right by people.Do right by pets.Build for the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you keep my staff?

Yes. We believe your team is the soul of your business. We aim to retain and grow them.

What happens to my name and brand?

We keep it. You've built something worth protecting — we're here to enhance, not erase.

What if I'm not ready yet?

That's okay. We're happy to build a relationship and talk when the timing is right.

Can I stay involved?

Yes. Some owners want to step back. Others want to stay on in a leadership or ambassador role. We support both paths.
