Even though she found a good job in the field she’d studied for, something was missing. Every day, she’d come home and feel overly stressed and extremely unhappy with where she was. This inspired Jackie to make a series of big changes in her life and dedicate her time to finding something she was passionate about.&nbsp;After moving, Jackie was unsure of how to acclimate her dogs to her new surroundings. An internet search for doggie day care led Jackie to the nearby Hounds Town USA. When she walked in, she was immediately drawn to the simplicity and fun nature of the brand—and was impressed with Mike’s insight on her dogs and his canine expertise in general. She started to wonder why this brand wasn’t already nationally recognized or offering dog daycare franchises.&nbsp;Over the next couple of years, Jackie learned from Mike and the team at Hounds Town USA, eventually becoming the company’s CEO. She recognized the huge opportunity for the Hounds Town pet franchise brand, and used her experience, education and drive to grow Hounds Town into a nationally recognized dog day care franchise with more than 100 locations!<a href="https://houndstownusa.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-influencers-jackie-bondanza-ceo-hounds-town-usa-2721291" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">About Hounds Town USA</a>: Hounds Town USA is a doggie daycare franchise with 100+ locations in development across 18 states and growing!
