Selling the Business You
Built is a Big Decision.
We Treat it That Way.
For many owners this is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. We are here to honor the work you have done and the people and pets who depend on you.
Why Sell to Village Pet Care
When you sell to Village Pet Care, you are not handing your business to a faceless fund. You are handing it to operators who understand what you built and why it matters. You are not just passing along a business. You are passing along your clients, their pets, and a team that has become like family. We take that seriously.
What Happens to Your Team
Your staff are part of what makes your business work, and we invest in them. Employees keep
their jobs, and we back them with real benefits, like healthcare and retirement savings, and clear pathways to grow a stable, long-term career in pet care.
What We Look For
We partner with dog boarding and daycare businesses. Here is what tends to be a fit:
- Boarding and daycare are the core of the business.
- Grooming can be part of the mix, but not the main event.
- Training can be offered as a service.
*We do not acquire standalone groomers or veterinary practices.
“After all the time and effort I put into my business, I was protective of who I’d let carry it forward. I didn’t get into pet care to make money but because I genuinely care for dogs and understood their families trusted their wellbeing to us. I met with a lot of people, but none clicked with us like Village Pet Care. My wife and I found that they shared our values and made the process smooth and stress-free. We look forward to retirement knowing that our business and the relationships we built with it are in good hands.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is backing Village Pet Care financially?
We are backed by General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity investor with over four decades of experience and more than $120 billion in assets under management.
What is your core investment philosophy?
Our strategy is straightforward: we buy good companies and provide them with the scaled resources, software, and expertise to make them great.
How long does the process take?
We typically close within 60 to 90 days of signing a letter of intent.
Do you pay a fair price?
We underwrite conservatively and honestly. We would rather be upfront than overpromise a number we cannot stand behind.
What documents do I need to provide to start a valuation?
You will need to provide current and historical financial records for your pet business. Our M&A team will then use this data to put together a financial valuation.
Will my employees keep their jobs?
Yes. Retaining and investing in your team is central to how we operate.
What new benefits will my employees receive after the sale?
Village Pet Care provides comprehensive benefits, including health insurance, for all employees. We also provide continuous skill-building tools, ongoing training support, and career advancement tracks.
Can my staff grow into corporate or regional roles?
Absolutely. We offer career growth opportunities within our corporate team or across our broader network. In fact, many members of our current support team are former general managers or owners from acquired businesses.
What happens to my brand and my clients?
We keep what makes your business special and work to preserve the experience your clients and their pets know.
What happens to my physical facility or real estate?
We offer flexible real estate options. If you own the property, we can buy it during the sale or set up a long-term lease to pay you rent. If you lease from a third-party landlord, we just ask for an early introduction to negotiate a long-term lease with them.
