The growth of the personalized pet services industry has gone to the dogs in New York City. The scoop on the streets of Battery Park City Manhattan in Midtown West, the West Village, the Financial District, TriBeCa, and Long Island City is the amazing growth of NY-based dog-services provider, The Spot Experience. The company recently signed a deal to service its third major real estate company. It will provide service to tenants of apartment buildings controlled by Rockrose, a New York-based real estate owner, manager and developer.
There are similar agreements in place with two other prominent residential property management companies in New York. Rose Associates and ARGO Real Estate also have contracted with The Spot Experience. More than 30 buildings will be under contact for these services through 2012. Mitch Marrow, a former NFL player and a hedge fund manager is the founder and CEO of the specialty service provider. “We are excited about the rapid growth of our dog concierge program for residential buildings, and about our latest partnership with Rockrose,” said Mr. Marrow.
He continued, “We are thrilled to be able to provide a much-needed service to dog owners throughout the city, and look forward to expanding our program in the Tri-State area next year.” The Spot Experience is a New York-based dog-services provider with four locations. Services include daycare, overnight stays, long-term country boarding, grooming, training, transportation, and retail services. The company has New York’s largest and only private outdoor dog park.
“Partnering with The Spot Experience to provide the highest caliber of dog services to our residents was a natural choice for us,” said Kathleen Scott, VP of leasing and marketing for Rockrose. “We wanted to offer a quality pet amenity program, and Spot’s services, personnel and protocol are top-of-the-line, offering our residents peace of mind regarding the high level of staff entering the buildings on a regular basis.”
