Hello, I am 25 years old and a Colorado Springs native! I've always been in love with all-things animals, especially dogs.

From a young age I started watching the neighborhood dogs. Even if it were just for the day. At age 8 I finally got my own dog and quickly learned the meaning behind the words “man’s best friend.” This gave me the passion to work with animals, yet I didn’t exactly know how to fulfill that desire. After graduating high school I began to attend community college for business and in the time-being I decided to revisit the idea of pet-care as a side-gig. In 2015 I pursued Camp Dog fully and since have been overwhelmed by the growth and experience I have gained. My love and passion for this business has substantially grown and now I have bigger goals for Camp Dog then ever imagined. Yet, I can barely call this a job, as I am just happy to be around animals.

Titan is a 6 year-old pitbull, lab, mastiff mix. My husband, Philip, got Titan as a puppy and they have been tied at the hip. Titan’s favorite place is right next to his humans. He doesn’t do much more then that. When we have other pup-friends stay with us he’ll be quite interested at first, but once things settles he just hangouts with his new friends. Aside from random moments when he gets a burst of energy and wants to wrestle. He’s also quite the talkative boy.

Remi is a 4/5 year-old pitbull, rottweiler, sharpei mix. We rescued her about 3 years ago. When they first found her she was in rough shape, malnourished, and very nervous by everything - especially people. However, over the years, she has opened up significantly and now loves to be around people! Much like Titan, she is very excited to meet other dogs and has a mother instinct to care for other pups. Her favorite place to be is outside sunbathing and getting dirty.

Hi, I am a 23 year old creative/singer-songwriter/animal lover living in Colorado Springs! I spend my free time drawing, writing, out in nature, and going to friends house to hangout with their dogs.

Growing up, I always had as many animal friends around as I could convince my parents to keep. From stray cats or dogs, to parrots, to lizards - I was in love with them all. Today, my best friend is a little senior citizen cockatiel named Zany. We love to snuggle and watch movies together - he whistles little tunes when he is happy, and sometimes he even laughs at the screen. I seek to find simplicity and joy in everything I do - whether that be in my art, or caring for a furry friend. And I am so looking forward to making some new furry friends in the coming months!

Hello, my name is Ben Benson, I am 27. Grew up in Reno, Nevada but moved to Colorado 3 years ago to pursue Dutch Bros more. I currently manage a shop and love the community and personal growth through it.

I love being outdoors: hiking, camping, and overall enjoying the Colorado lifestyle. The people here are so friendly and make it feel like home. I’m a big quality time person, trying local places, and new hobbies or adventures. I just bought a van and have been trying out van life!
