Who it's for

Built for these stages

Most operators come to us in one of three moments. The resources are designed around what you actually need at each.

🏗️

Pre-launch operators You've found a space and you're ready to open — but you don't know what licenses you need, whether your zoning is right, or what insurance actually covers dogs in your care.

🏢

Existing operators auditing compliance You're already open but haven't done a full compliance audit. One neighbor complaint, one bite incident, or one denied insurance claim can expose gaps.

📈

Pet sitters scaling to a facility Going from in-home boarding to a commercial facility is a regulatory step-change. Different rules, different insurance, different facility standards.
