Barking Mad in Wrea Green has reported a 10 per cent increase in turnover in the past 12 months.
Former civil servant Alison Gledhill has been leading the firm for four years and said this year is the best yet.
The 43-year-old took over as the franchisee at Barking Mad, Wrea Green, in 2004 and has seen it boom as people leave their dogs with host families when they go away.
There are more than 300 dog owners on her books and she sends dogs of all sizes to stay with Fylde families for up to a month.
She said: "Many of our customers in Fylde and Preston don't live near obliging family, or don't feel they can ask this level of commitment from a friend.
"I am now in my fourth year running Barking Mad in this area and still love the whole concept. The idea is to provide home-from-home care for dogs while owners are away.
