Success Story

How Gingr Transformed Animal People Dog Boarding

Animal People Dog Boarding & Day Care is a recently rebranded dog boarding and daycare facility run by Aaron Babaa and his wife Ashley in Charlotte, NC. They purchased the business in August 2024 with a clear goal: to turn it into a warm, reliable, and high-quality care space for dogs.

Ashley already operated a successful pet-sitting division under the name Animal People, LLC, which she built into a six-figure business in only a year and a half. However, as they looked to grow their family, they realized they needed a dedicated facility where clients could bring their pets, rather than traveling to each pet’s home.
