Life at Skiptown

Skiptown (formerly Skipper) is a tech-enabled hub for dogs and their people. The trusted pet services company provides pet parents with first-class dog walking, daycare, and boarding services, as well as a membership-based dog park and bar – all powered by the Skiptown mobile app. Skiptown has secured thousands of members since opening the first location in Charlotte, NC just five months ago in the midst of the global pandemic. Skiptown offers an indoor/outdoor turfed dog park, a bar for humans, dog daycare, overnight boarding, a grooming salon, and dog walking services. From valet daycare drop-off to "Skippers" who monitor the pups at play, Skiptown's dog-focused design and high-end hangout is about giving peace of mind to pet parents and joy to their four-legged family members. Skiptown's proprietary technology platform streamlines booking and account management, sends multiple daily visit reports, pairs dogs to playgroups based on personality type, and allows for a fully customized experience for every dog. Backed by private investors and high-profile venture capital firms, including Techstars Ventures, Bull Creek Capital, and Firebrand Ventures, Skiptown is poised for growth, especially in light of the anticipated, post-COVID surge in demand for convenience-driven pet care and high-end hangouts.
