Resting Rainbow is a compassionate pet aftercare franchise founded by Joseph C. Moncaleano and Julian Rivera, inspired by Joe's personal experience of losing a beloved pet. Disturbed by the lack of dignity in traditional pet aftercare services, they created Resting Rainbow to bring empathy, respect, and care to grieving pet owners. Their mission is simple yet powerful—to provide pets with the dignified farewell they deserve, while offering peace of mind to the families who loved them.
Resting Rainbow stands out in the $123 billion pet care industry by addressing a sensitive and underserved market with high demand and few competitors. The franchise model offers multiple revenue streams including cremation services, pet funerals, and memorial product sales. With minimal staffing requirements, no special skills needed, and a complete equipment package plus 24/7 support, this recession-resistant business offers a meaningful, scalable opportunity for those passionate about helping others through grief.
