A Perfect Match: Red Rock Realty Group Helps Dog U Expand with Two New Locations
At Red Rock Realty Group, there’s no better feeling than seeing both sides of a deal walk away happy. And when the magic of teamwork, market knowledge, and shared goals comes together in a single transaction? That’s what we live for.
“This deal was a perfect example of sharing in resources and market knowledge between brokers, resulting in two happy clients,” said Jack Little, Principal and EVP of Corporate Strategy and Brokerage at Red Rock. “There is no better feeling than when Red Rock can help both clients achieve their goals on the same transaction.”
Jack is talking about a recent success story that involved not one—but two—exciting new locations for Dog U, a brand that’s become a trusted name in dog training, daycare, and boarding in Birmingham. Their latest venture? Dog U Day Spa, a luxury grooming and wellness experience designed for pups who deserve a little pampering.
The Birth of Dog U Day Spa
After building a loyal following with Dog U, founder Tyler Hill recognized a growing demand for high-quality grooming services. Enter: Dog U Day Spa, a serene space where dogs can enjoy everything from stylish cuts to soothing spa treatments in a stress-free environment. With the same dedication and attention to detail that made Dog U a household name for pet parents, the spa is now open at Suite 139 in Inverness Village on Valleydale Road.
This lease was a unique and rewarding one. Trish Rushing, CCIM, VP of Brokerage at Red Rock, represented both the tenant and the landlord—a balancing act that requires experience, trust, and a deep understanding of the needs on both sides. Not only that, but Red Rock also leases and manages the Inverness Village property, making this truly a full-circle moment.
A Tenant’s Perspective
We spoke with Tyler Hill about his experience working with Trish and the Red Rock team, and it’s safe to say the partnership was a great fit.
“Trish did an absolutely amazing job helping me find not one, but two locations for my business,” said Tyler. “The communication was top notch. Anytime I had a question or concern, she was always quick to respond. I would 100% recommend their services.”
The second location Tyler mentioned is the soon-to-open Dog U Birmingham in Homewood, located at 2706 19th Street South. For this deal, Trish again represented the tenant, while Jack Little and Billy Hiden, CCIM, represented the landlord—another example of Red Rock’s commitment to collaborative brokerage.
“Both Trish and the other broker I worked with were incredibly responsive and eager to help,” Tyler added. “I had a great experience and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with the brokers that helped along the way.”
Looking Ahead
With Dog U Day Spa now welcoming four-legged clients in Inverness Village, and Dog U Birmingham preparing for its grand opening in Homewood this April, we’re excited to watch this brand continue to grow—and to be a small part of the journey.
Whether you’re a landlord looking for the right tenant or a business looking for the perfect space, Red Rock Realty Group is here to help make it happen—with experience, integrity, and a whole lot of heart.
