    About Pets Are Inn

    Pets Are Inn makes special arrangements for your pet that far surpass the offerings of a traditional kennel. We carefully screen animal loving individuals and families to care for your pet(s). These "Host Families" take your pet(s) into their home and give them the personal attention they are used to ... lots of love, petting, playing, walking, a warm comfortable place to sleep, and of course, the food you provide, served when and the way your pet likes it.

    The estimated total initial investment for your first Pets Are Inn business ranges from $79,950 to $105,150, including $74,000 to $75,000 you must pay the Franchisor.
    If you elect to enter into a Territory Development Agreement for the right to open multiple Pets Are Inn businesses, your estimated total initial investment ranges from $127,750 to $375,150, including $118,000 to $250,000 you must pay the Franchisor (rights to 2 to 6 Territories).
