How to Start a Dog Kennel or Pet Boarding Business
1-2-3
When pet owners travel, they can't always take their pets with them. It can be challenging to find a
trusted pet sitter who can care for and entertain pets throughout the day, but dog and cat owners don't want to
leave their loved ones at just any kennel.
Luxury pet hotels, pet spas and unique cat and dog boarding businesses are becoming
more popular. Pet owners are willing to pay more for their pet to be happy, so they can relax and enjoy their
vacations. If you love being around animals, here is an opportunity to make a good income while doing rewarding
work.
Start by evaluating the market in your area and develop a business plan. This will help you figure out how
profitable your business idea is and the steps you need to take to reach your income goals.
You will need space for your dog boarding facility, so you will need to find the location, check zoning
restrictions in the area with your local city office and obtain financing to secure the location. Being close
to a local vet office can be a plus, and you can establish a business relationship with them to provide special
animal care if needed. This can also be a competitive advantage when marketing to potential clients.
Most cities require that you have a business license, which you can get at your local
city or county government office. You will also want to be prepared with liability and release forms for your customers. It is also important to get referrals
from past clients and people who know how you interact with and care for pets.
