The Heart Behind the Brand

It all began in 1972, when Art and Yolanda Rimbold moved into their first home in Troy, Michigan, with their two dogs. Like many pet parents, they struggled to find trustworthy boarding that provided the level of care their dogs deserved. After exhaustive research, they found options with adequate facilities but lacking the amenities and attention they wanted for their pets.

In 1982, Yolanda found a building with over a dozen kennels previously used for breeding. What started as a hobby soon evolved into a boutique operation, exceeding the needs of pet parents for safe, clean, and compassionate pet care. By 2005, the Rimbolds, with their close friends, the Kresges, began franchising, with a dedicated focus on strategic partnerships and a business model built on quality over rapid expansion.

A Customer Becomes the CEO

In 2005, Stephan and Stephanie Dimitroff brought their beloved dog Hugo to the All American Pet Resorts location in Royal Oak, Michigan. They were simply looking for a safe, reliable place for Hugo to stay while their family went on vacation. What they found was far more than they expected.

The exceptional care Hugo received and the outstanding customer service Stephan experienced left a lasting impression. Upon returning, he introduced himself to the resort's owner, Art Rimbold. What started as a conversation between two dog owners quickly evolved into a shared vision for the future of pet care.

Leading with the Same Values That Won Us Over

Stephan's genuine admiration for the brand, paired with his strategic insight, led him to join the company as Executive Vice President. In that role, he built a corporate team, expanded the franchise network, integrated state-of-the-art technology, and spearheaded a modern refresh of the brand identity. When the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the business in 2020, the team used this challenge as an opportunity to strengthen the brand even further.

As the relationship between Stephan and Art grew, Art eventually shared his desire to retire and pass the torch. Stephan and Stephanie, inspired by the very resort that once cared for Hugo, knew this was their opportunity to lead the brand they had fallen in love with.

Today, as owner and CEO of All American Pet Resorts, and with the unwavering support of his wife and fellow owner Stephanie, Stephan brings his passion for strong, authentic relationships into every aspect of the business—from franchise partnerships to client care. The same trust and excellence that began with the Rimbolds in 1972 continue to define the All American Pet Resorts brand, positioning it for strategic growth and ready to meet the increasing demands of the pet care market.
