Woofies Pet Ventures Franchise

Values & History

We opened the first Woofie's location in September of 2004 in Ashburn, Virginia. Word about our services spread like wildfire. Soon, we were busy seven days a week and had built a team of trustworthy pet care professionals to meet our customers’ demands.

In 2011, at the request of many of our regulars, we expanded our services to include boutique mobile grooming. We started with one mobile pet spa van, and today, we have a fleet of seven vans running seven days a week that are all staffed by fantastic professional groomers.

In 2015 we moved into our corporate office and added a training center where pet owners and pet care professionals can learn pet CPR, first aid, and more. In 2018, Woofie's LLC was incorporated to build our franchise offering and make our services available to more and more communities.

Industry Performance

Market Demand & Advantage

Pets are family! We do everything together, from snuggling on the couch to going out on the town. And just like family, we want the very best care for our furry friends. Now, more than ever, people consider their pets as children.

The already booming pet care business is projected to see continued growth. Total U.S. pet industry sales rose to $103.6bn in 2020. This increase was the third year in a row that the industry saw growth, with pet services like grooming, pet sitting, and walking accounting for $8.1bn in sales alone.

Woofie’s knows every pet has its own unique needs and personality. We have a bone to pick with cookie-cutter dog grooming franchise systems, and formulaic care programs simply don’t cut it for us.

Our Woofie’s pet care professionals take the time to get to know their clients and their pup—or cat, ferret, fish, iguana—so that they can give them exceptional, personalized care. The demand has never been higher, and the timing has never been better to own a pet franchise with Woofie’s, a company with a proven reputation of excellence.
