Skiptown, a technology-driven pet care facility offering dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and walking services, has launched a franchising program to expand its national presence. The company, which currently operates corporate locations in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Denver, is now inviting entrepreneurs to join its premium pet care concept during a period of significant industry growth.
The timing coincides with substantial market demand, as the American Veterinary Medical Association reports nearly half of U.S. households own dogs—approximately 90 million total—making dogs the dominant household pet and driving need for specialized care services. This expansion represents a strategic move to capitalize on the thriving pet services category while addressing the growing expectations of modern pet owners.
"We're proud to announce that Skiptown is now open for franchising, marking an exciting new chapter in our growth as we expand to meet the rising demand for personalized pet care," said Mike Rotondo, CEO of Skiptown. The company's proprietary technology enables convenient in-car drop-off and pick-up services, along with easy appointment customization through their mobile platform.
As part of the franchise launch, Skiptown is introducing new facility prototypes designed to deliver its signature services. The company is initially targeting expansion in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Chief Development Officer Patti Rother, who brings extensive franchise scaling experience, is leading the growth strategy.
"Skiptown has demonstrated strong unit and growth performance and is entering franchising with proven programs and technology that set us apart in the industry," Rother stated. The company has already served more than 50,000 dogs across its three corporate locations, providing a solid foundation for national expansion.
Early interest in the franchising opportunity has been strong, with the company scheduled to host its initial Meet the Team Day in Atlanta on October 22 for prospective franchise candidates from multiple states. This response indicates building momentum for the brand's expansion strategy.
