When COVID-19 hit, pet ownership soared, creating booming demand for pet care services. Not only did furry friends need to stay active, but their hoomans needed to stay home safe.
Danielle Lynn, owner Romp N Groom, a small business in Maryland, wanted to expand her petcare offerings to respond to market opportunity. She didn’t qualify for traditional bank financing.
VOX Funding Solution
After seeing a Facebook ad, Danielle applied to VOX Funding for revenue-based financing. She received her first advance of nearly $4,000 within days, helping her:
- Expand core pet-walking services to meet immediate quarantine demand
- Keep operations stable while competitors closed
- Ensure fit furry friends stay active while pet parents stayed safe
- Power vertical growth into areas like grooming for a full-on doggie day spa
Impact
Sustained Growth
The business expanded from its core dog walking to full-service petcare, building stronger customer loyalty and retention.
Competitive Edge: Marketing Acceleration
Romp N Groom invested in digital ads, including Facebook. This tactic helped reach target audiences as more people spent time online during quarantine (after all, that’s how she met VOX Funding).
Resilience
When the business faced emergencies, like broken plumbing, VOX Funding ensured it had consistent cashflow, avoiding disruption to daily operations. Danielle highlights this benefit of teaming up with VOX from such an early-stage:
VOX Funding has been a life saver for me and my business. When certain issues would come up VOX has always been their to help me with funding.
Close communication with her funding team ensured that Romp N Groom could withstand any threats to its business.
Today
The trusted partnership brings Romp N Groom to their fourteenth funding round today. Danielle continues a close relationship with the team she met five years ago, recently saying:
Everyone that I have dealt with has been very kind especially Taryn!!! I hope she never leaves.
We hope so too (and that soon all of Danielle’s pretty and fit dogs will be allowed to visit us at the office).
