70 - Be Part Of The Community with Jacob Hensley of District Dogs

The DMV (Washington, DC | Maryland | Virginia) Business Show

Jacob Hensley is the Founder and Owner of District Dogs with three locations in Washington, DC, one opening later this year, and a couple more opening in Virginia in the following years. They are a pet care company in Washington, DC that offers doggy daycare, dog boarding, training, overnight pet sitting, dog walking, and more. Jacob was as a quiet kid growing up in Kentucky spending a lot of time outdoors with animals and nature, playing and exploring in the creek catching bugs. He knew he wanted to start his own business one day, and at 18 years old he immediately opened his first online brokerage account to start investing in the stock market. He graduated college with a finance degree and right after college became a financial advisor for several years until 2014 when he formed District Dogs and left the financial industry at 26 years old. District Dogs first started as a dog walking business with just himself and shares step by step how he grew the company and brand originally with grassroots marketing to what it is today with over 60 employees and will probably double in size within the next 12 months with their new locations! Jacob talks about how to differentiate through brand and marketing and focus on the growth of your team. He shares how they were able to pivot and grow through COVID and mentions some daily habits he utilizes to get things done, and most importantly many of this would not be possibly without being part of the community!
