Why invest in a Hounds Town USA Dog Daycare Franchise?
Are you looking for more than just financial success? Do you want to feel fulfilled in life? Want to make a difference in your community by providing superior customer service? There are many reasons to own a Hounds Town USA doggie daycare franchise. Here are just a few.
LOW FINANCIAL INVESTMENT
By utilizing simple, cost-effective and dog-friendly materials in our facilities, Hounds Town USA allows Dog Daycare Franchise Owners to open their businesses starting at $457,200. This financial investment is significantly lower than other doggie daycare franchises in the country which allows our Owners to break even sooner and enjoy larger profit margins.
OUTSTANDING REVENUE
In 2022, our Average Gross Profit for locations open 5 years or more was $905,531* with an Average Net Operating Income of $438,133*!
CANINE EXPERTISE
Our “Unrivaled Canine Expert,” Founder Michael S. Gould, has almost 40 years of direct canine experience that he passes along to all new Hounds Town Doggy Daycare Franchise Owners. Thanks to Mike’s in-depth understanding of dog psychology and behavior, we’ve modeled our business concept more closely after childcare solutions than dog daycare options.
FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY
We believe that in many ways, time is more valuable than money. Therefore, we have built a doggie daycare franchise business model that allows our Pet Franchise Owners the opportunity to spend time doing more of what they love.
RESULTS-DRIVEN MARKETING SUPPORT
We have developed a three-tiered marketing plan designed specifically to ensure that all new Owners do not have to worry about having customers when they open. By cultivating a customer base primarily through Facebook groups, we have seen the average number of new dog evaluations in the first 10 days of opening increase 133% year over year!
HOUNDS TOWN CHARITIES
Each Hounds Town USA franchise location has partnered with local charities, rescues, and shelters to offer discounted doggie daycare, boarding, and other services to dogs waiting for their “furever” homes.
SIMPLE OPERATION
We have spent years developing our training program, which has fully systematized our doggy daycare business model and allows us to quickly teach new Franchise Owners. We carefully created the business model to ensure that simplicity, alongside profitability, is the priority.
“Each month we continue to see growth. We are living out our dreams!”

HOW IT ALL STARTED
MIKE GOULD
After a successful career on the police force as one of the founding members of the NYPD’s elite Canine Unit, Hounds Town President Michael Gould sought to deepen his passion for dogs by opening a dog boarding and dog training business location in Long Island, NY in 2001.
After a successful first few years in business, Michael decided to reinvest some of his profits into a second facility, and after seeing a remarkably similar level of business growth, he realized that he had created something very, very special.
JACKIE BONDANZA
After studying business and communication, and earning a Master’s degree in journalism, Jackie Bondanza took a job in her field of study that she thought was going to make her happy. Despite finding success, Jackie wasn’t finding the life fulfillment she had been looking for.
After making huge life changes, Jackie happened upon Hounds Town USA as a customer and saw huge potential in the pet franchise brand. In 2014, Jackie joined Hounds Town, eventually becoming the company’s CEO. She used her experience, education, and drive to grow Hounds Town USA into an elite national brand with over 100 dog daycare franchise locations.

LAUREN DUFFY
“Hounds Town was a perfect medium. They guide you, and they give you tools to grow, but they also give you enough leeway to let you create and do things on your own.”
STEVE GARIBELL
“The fact that Hounds Town really takes the time to look at the behavior of the dog, and group the dog in the correct pack; they’re really maximizing their time, and they’re safe and well cared for.”
ANNE MCDONALD
“We wanted to secure our future for ourselves instead of securing a future
for someone else.”
