BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Walk This Way Dogs, a highly respected pet care provider with over nine years of dedicated service, is now available for acquisition. Known for its exceptional dog walking & in-home pet sitting services, Walk This Way Dogs has earned a devoted client base, with many recurring clients & multi-generational dogs. This level of trust and loyalty has become a hallmark of the business while continuing to acquire new clients.

With growing annual gross revenue of $313,000 net of merchant card fees, potential cash flow to owner of $137,000, & gross margins after walkers’ payroll of over 50%, Walk This Way Dogs is a turnkey, professional operation with a team of nine part-time employees. Ranked #1 on Google and Yelp for Tacoma, Fircrest, and University Place, we have thrived entirely on word-of-mouth referrals & organic search visibility.

Clients regularly praise our team for their professionalism, compassion, & the exceptional care given to each pet, which has been instrumental in building loyal, long-lasting relationships with clients & their pets.

Competition consists of single-person providers or services contracted through larger platforms like Wag & Rover, making Walk This Way Dogs the preferred, established local option for dedicated, high-quality pet care.

Our competitive advantage is our processes, hiring standards, customer care, & unparalleled reputation. In a high turnover industry, we shine for our retention of our customers. The business prides itself on efficient infrastructure & detailed SOPs covering all essential operations including client intake & communication, training, safety protocols, & route planning. A key advantage over competition is we only walk one owner’s dog(s) at a time. We never group dogs from various owners as some other competitors do.

Sale includes updated onboarding guide, employee handbooks, employee agreements, automated billing system, payroll systems,& performance-tracking tools to ensure smooth day-to-day operations & consistent high-quality service. Our streamlined, tech-enabled operation makes for a highly organized & efficient business. Using our app, compatible with both mobile & desktop, simplifies client data management, scheduling, & GPS enabled walk tracking, creating a seamless user experience for both staff & clients.

The staff consists of one long-standing assistant manager who has been with us for four years. The rest of the dog walkers are part-time and go through extensive training from the owner who is a licensed and certified professional dog trainer, ensuring a high caliber of quality and seamless service.

We have laid the foundation for continued growth. Continue to build on our existing standards & operations for significant growth potential! Walk This Way Dogs can easily expand through enhanced marketing, geographic growth, or as potential add-on services for those in the daycare, grooming, or training space. This is an ideal opportunity for someone in the pet care industry to acquire a thriving business with a scalable model & outstanding community standing.
