New Pet Care Brand, Digs Dog Care, redefines the future of pet care

First Newly Rebranded Digs Dog Care Location Unveiled in Charlotte, NC

CHICAGO, IL

Digs Dog Care, a pet care brand focused on elevating the standard of care in the pet industry, today announced its national expansion. Since forming in 2024, Digs has acquired 17 pet resorts which are comprised of rebranded Digs locations and partner facilities that operate under their original names. Digs Dog Care was founded through a partnership between Frontenac, a Chicago-based private equity firm, and experienced operating executives, Jeff Nathan, Todd Siwak, and Greg Siwak, with the goal of revolutionizing the pet care industry. With a network of high-end, experiential resorts, Digs offers pet owners a convenient, safe and customer-centric option for their four-legged family members.

Digs Dog Care recently unveiled its first, newly rebranded Digs location in Charlotte, NC, offering a variety of pet services including daycare, boarding, grooming and training – with the goal of delivering a consistent, premium level of care and experience for both pets and pet owners.

For prospective Digs Dog Care locations and sellers, the brand carefully evaluates facilities and works closely with owners to find a good fit for the brand’s network and established community. From operational support to leadership development, the Digs Dog Care team provides tools, mentorship and resources to enable every resort to thrive within the network. Digs plans to continue to pursue quality opportunities to build its community of high quality pet care properties across the U.S. 

“The team at Digs impressed me with their genuine care for my team and our needs. They remained professional and true to their word throughout the entire process – keeping the needs of team members and the pups top of mind,” said Andrew Zbeeb, former business owner of 20+ years who partnered with Digs Dog Care last year.

Frontenac partnered with three CEO1ST executives to form Digs, all of whom bring deep operating experience and knowledge in consumer markets. Jeff Nathan serves as CEO of Digs, Todd Siwak serves as Chairman, and Greg Siwak serves as a Board Director.
