Entrepreneur Ashley Ziegler started SF Hound Lounge in 2002, inspired by her love of dogs and shocked by the lack of clean, safe, and friendly dog day care facilities in the area. After a year of searching, Ashley found a 7,000 square foot space in the Mission District that provides plenty of room for dogs to play or relax in beds and lounge areas. Large dogs have a play area separate from small dogs, and there’s even an indoor potty spot with real grass and a fire hydrant! Ashley and the Hound Lounge pride themselves on keeping the facility pristine and monitor the dogs playing, clean up promptly after the dogs, and walk them in small groups.
SF Hound Lounge has been a member of the PCV Business Advising program since 2011, working with expert advisors to grow their already-successful dog daycare and boarding facility. In their Strategy Roundtable, PCV Advisors helped SF Hound Lounge make some critical decisions around pricing strategy, marketing, and personnel. Check out SF Hound Lounge at www.sfhoundlounge.com.
