โจ Small Business Week Client Spotlight: Coastal Tails โจ๐พ
Meet Courtney and Drew Jacklin, the proud owners behind Coastal Tails, a local dog daycare and boarding business located just outside of Shelburne along the Sandy Point Road. They provide a safe, fun, and loving space for our four-legged friends.
What they love most about their work is spending their days with dogs and getting to know all their different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. No two days are ever the same.
Coastal Tails has been part of our community since 2019, and when Courtney and Drew took ownership in 2022, they knew it was the right fit. Having experienced the benefits of dog daycare firsthand, they saw a real need in the community and were excited to build on an already strong foundation.
Since then, they have focused on growth, consistency, and earning trust, both from long-time clients and new families. In just under four years of ownership, they have proudly become a two-time award-winning kennel, which speaks to their dedication and care.
Courtney and Drew shared that CBDCโs support, services, and funding played a major role in helping them get started and pursue this opportunity, something they are incredibly grateful for.
For those who may not be familiar with what we do, CBDC supports local entrepreneurs and small business owners through financing, training, advisory services, and ongoing guidance. Our goal is to help people turn ideas into sustainable businesses and support them as they grow. Coastal Tails is a great example of how local passion, hard work, and the right support can lead to long-term success.
Their advice for anyone thinking about starting a business is simple and inspiring:
โThe hardest part is often just starting, so go for it. If you have a vision, it can become a reality. It takes time and dedication, but itโs worth it.โ
We are proud to support passionate local business owners like Courtney and Drew who took the leap and to see Coastal Tails continue to thrive in our community.
