PETS ARE INN
Pets Are Inn franchises provide an alternative pet boarding service where household pets, primarily dogs and cats, are cared for in private homes by a network of selected 'Host Families' rather than in traditional kennels. The business model involves franchisees managing the matching of pets to host families, enforcing strict standards for pet health and well-being, and operating under the Pets Are Inn brand without needing a central facility. It targets pet owners seeking personalized, home-like boarding experiences for their animals.
