Meet the Owners

Brie
I've always taken great pride in my work, especially when it comes to animals. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several local animal organizations from rescues and veterinary hospitals to kennels and grooming salons. Each role has given me invaluable experience and brought me closer to realizing and fulfilling my lifelong dream.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve felt a deep passion for animals. Not just caring for them and welcoming them into my life, but also doing my part to give them a better one. Every step of my career has strengthened that calling and allowed me to grow both personally and professionally.
Now, as I begin this exciting new chapter, I’m looking forward to meeting every dog and their humans who walk through our doors!

Joel
I've spent 6 years working in the dog care industry, gaining invaluable experience with everything from daily care and training to health monitoring. It's been a rewarding journey, building great relationships with both dogs and their owners. These experiences have taught me a lot about canine behavior and knowing I've helped improve the lives of many dogs and their families has been incredibly fulfilling. I can't wait for what lies ahead!

Darin
I was fortunate to grow up in Iowa City and ultimately earn my degree from the University of Iowa. My professional journey began in the IT industry, where I spent many years developing expertise and leadership across various roles and locations. In 1999, I returned to the area, and over the years, I’ve witnessed its remarkable growth and transformation.
I'm excited to have joined forces with Brie & Joel to pursue a new venture close to my heart: creating a community-centered business that brings together people and their dogs.
