Buy a District Dogs Franchise

District Dogs began as a dog walking business and has evolved into a leading, full-service pet care company offering daycare, boarding, training, grooming, and dog walking in state-of-the-art facilities. Known for its commitment to excellence, transparency, and community, District Dogs has grown to seven corporate locations and several franchise units, with a strong presence in the D.C. area and expansion into new markets like Nashville and Charlotte. The brand emphasizes a personal touch, expert staff training, and intentional local partnerships, creating a “home away from home” for pets. In 2025, founder Jacob Hensley sold the franchise business to Barry Madani, who is rebranding franchises as Molly’s Dog Care, while Hensley continues to lead the corporate brand. District Dogs’ growth is fueled by a booming pet care industry projected to reach $275 billion by 2030, positioning the brand for continued national expansion.
