Briefly describe the business: Where is it located? What is the service or product? What is your role?

Gault's Pet Service is located in Clinton, SC We are a local dog boarding, grooming, and daycare facility. I am the owner of this company and currently run it by myself with occasional help from family members. We host about 10-15 boarders at a time, along with around 8-10 daycare pups as well. Our max is 25 dogs, however we choose to lower thoes number so that we don't stress ourselves out. Our business hours run from 7:30-6:30. However, in this busienss we do have to occomidate those hours for some clients. Our job is to make it easier on the owners as their beloved pet come and stay with us while they are away. You can chech us out through our facebook, website, or instagram.
