Meet the team

Hi, Doggy Parents! My name is Elizabeth. I grew up in Wellesley with three siblings and two dogs, Henry and Wally. I graduated from Bucknell University and created Doggy Dates because I love dogs, and I love entrepreneurship!

Hi, everyone. I help my sister, Elizabeth, with all Doggy Dates marketing material! Have you seen our doggy dates cars… or this website…? That’s me!

Dogs have always been such a big part of my life, and it feels like a dream to make them the focus of my career! In 2009, I graduated from NYU, where I spent most of my free time volunteering for a rescue in Manhattan. I love learning anything I can about dog behavior, nutrition, and training. I especially love hosting Doggy Dates dogs in my home with my husband and two daughters. It’s a blast! Thanks for sharing your pups with me!

Hi, I’m Erin! After graduating with my Masters and CAGS and working in human services for four years, I made the decision to switch careers and focus on doggy services! I have always loved dogs, and, with two dogs of my own at home, I know how important furry family members are. I look forward to helping your pup have the best times possible!

Hey, I’m Max! One of my greatest loves is the outdoors, and two of my best friends walk on four legs. For that reason, I find myself extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to meet great new doggy friends with Doggy Dates! In my free time, I pursue my passion for creative writing.

Hi, I’m Corey! I have never met a dog I didn’t love. After graduating with a degree in Counseling Psychology, I decided to change career paths and follow my passion: dogs. I feel grateful each and every day to wake up and LOVE going to work! Thank you for sharing your furry family members with me!

Bonjour! I’m Niki, and I love dogs (nothing unordinary here)! My two Border Collies, Ernie and Eve, can’t wait to meet and spend time with all your awesome pets during Overnights!

Tony here. I’ve worked as an engineer in Windsor, CT for the past 30+ years, but in my free time I work as a consultant/builder for Doggy Dates. For the past five years I have enjoyed tweaking and perfecting the custom design inside the Doggy Dates vehicles to ensure your dogs have a safe and comfortable ride to and from playgroup. I also love to spend time with my three children, four grandchildren and my Labrador, Molly.

Hi, I’m Sam! I graduated from UMass Lowell with a degree in mathematics, and I am currently pursuing a master’s in education. Although I have a passion for teaching, my real love has always been for dogs! I have two dogs of my own: a Golden Retriever and a six-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog. I cannot wait to play with your pup!

Hi, everyone! I’m Tessa, a lover of all animals! Sometime in the near future, I hope to pursue an education in the vet tech field as well as help rehabilitate pets and wildlife. Thank you for sharing your furry friends with me!

Hi! I’m Lauren. I grew up with all different species of animals, but have always been extra passionate about dogs. I studied in the Animal Care Program at UNH, so I could better understand dog behavior and proper care. I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi everyone, I’m Kasey! I am currently pursuing my dream of becoming a vet tech, but my greatest aspiration is to work with dogs specifically, and bring them as much happiness as they bring me! I have a doggy of my own: my four-year-old Bernese, Tucker. He is my giant fur baby! I look forward to meeting and playing with your fur babies! 🐶

Hello, fellow canine lovers! My name is David, and I just might have been a dog in my previous life. Growing up, my second oldest brother was a mutt, Spanner, who shaped me into the canine caretaker you see today. (I still have Spanner’s tags on my keys, so he gets to follow everywhere I go, like he always would.) Your pups are in good hands with affection, attention, and even a treat every now and then!

Hi! I’m Betsy, and this (pictured) is my friend, Piper. I was Dog Mom to a sweet, sassy, and very loved Tibetan Terrier for 17 years. Now, I love having overnights with pups from Doggy Dates. We have a great time! Thanks for trusting me to care for your dog!🐾

Hi, I’m Kayla! I’ve been working with animals for 6 years now! During the day I work as a preschool teacher- but I’ve been with Doggy Dates for almost 3 years, as an overnight caretaker. I love Doggy Dates because I get to spend time with so many different four legged friends!

Hi! I’m Laura! I’m mom to my 11-year-old daughter and my 4-year-old Keeshond, Kodi. When I’m not teaching dance, I love hosting Overnights with Doggy Dates! I treat each dog like part of my family (and Kodi thinks each one is his new best friend)! I look forward to meeting your fur-kids!

Hi, I’m Janelle! Since I was born, I have always had a dog. Sadly, only a short time ago, I had to say goodbye to my Westie. I am so happy I joined Doggy Dates, since I still get to play, cuddle, and adventure with my favorite animal!
