Highly Profitable Pet Boarding Business W/Real Estate

Business Overview:

Acquire a long-established and highly profitable pet boarding business together with approximately 42.8 acres of specialized real estate in Northwest Colorado. Established in 2001, the company has built a loyal customer base through more than two decades of consistent service, individualized animal care, and strong customer relationships.

The business operates from two purpose-built dog boarding facilities containing 46 primary kennel runs, along with separate cat accommodations, exercise areas, ponds, and an on-site residence. The company serves customers from throughout the surrounding mountain communities, including the Steamboat Springs and Vail Valley/Eagle County resort markets.

Trailing 12-month revenue is approximately $970,000, with normalized Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of approximately $540,000. Earnings have remained consistently strong over multiple years, while the owner has significantly reduced his day-to-day involvement through an experienced General Manager and long-term staff.

Peak-period demand regularly exceeds existing capacity, creating waiting lists during holidays, spring break, summer, and long weekends. The property offers substantial room for future expansion, subject to applicable governmental approvals.

· Peak demand routinely exceeds current capacity
· Historically minimal reliance on paid advertising
· Significant room for potential facility expansion
· Professional dog training represents a meaningful undeveloped revenue opportunity
· Business and real estate to be sold together

The company has several identifiable growth opportunities, including additional boarding capacity, professional dog training, increased marketing throughout the Steamboat Springs and Vail Valley/Eagle County markets, modest pricing adjustments, greater penetration of ancillary services, and modernization of the reservation and customer-management systems.

Professional dog training may be particularly attractive. The owner has extensive experience training and competing with retrievers but has never developed a formal paid training program. None of the company’s historical revenue or normalized SDE depends upon realizing this opportunity.

This is an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator, couple, partnership, pet-industry operator, or investor seeking an established and highly profitable operation with experienced management, specialized real estate, and multiple avenues for future growth.

Property Features and Assets:

Approximately 42.8 acres featuring two purpose-built dog boarding buildings, 46 primary kennel runs, separate cat accommodations, outdoor exercise areas, ponds, parking, and an on-site three-bedroom residence.

Only a relatively small portion of the acreage is currently occupied by the principal business facilities, leaving substantial additional land for potential future expansion, subject to applicable approvals.

The property also includes documented water rights and multiple ponds that support the operation and seasonal dog-swimming services.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The company benefits from more than two decades of operating history, an established reputation, strong repeat customer relationships, and a differentiated private-care model.

Dogs are exercised individually rather than routinely mixed with unrelated animals, allowing the resort to accommodate a wide variety of pets while reducing the risks associated with group-play environments.

The owner reports that competing facilities have entered and exited the market over the years, while the company continues to experience waiting lists during peak periods.

Reason for Selling:

Retirement. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
