Meet The Team

Walker

My wife and I have lived in Ohio our whole lives and moved to Blacklick in 2020! I have three dogs Thor, Loki, and Luna that are my white world! I just recently graduated The Ohio State University with my second degree in Moving Image Production. In my free time, I enjoy going to the movies, attending concerts, exploring nature, editing videos and creating content, and spending time with my dogs!

Lead Groomer

Alyssa started dog grooming in December 2019. Once she started, she picked up it quickly and it become something that she loved to do! She has experience in a busy salon environment and is excited to have a chance to slow down a little bit with Love Your Doggo and make sure each doggo gets the attention they deserve. With dog grooming, there is always something new to learn so her goal is to obtain as much knowledge as she can to further her skills as a dog groomer.

Groomer

Haley has several years of experience in grooming. She has worked in a few salons and eventually left the industry to work on a farm. She wanted to get back into dog grooming and found Love Your Doggo. She enjoys the slower pace, and quality over quantity approach that LYD takes. We are very excited to have Haley on our team and she is continuously improving her skills with various AKC cuts from Alyssa. One thing is for certain - Haley is always ensuring your doggos are comfortable, safe, and of course - looking their very best!

Walker | Administrative Support

My husband and I have lived in New Albany since 2011.  I quit my corporate job several years ago to stay home with our 2 young children.  With the kids both in school, I was ready to go back into the workforce but this time I wanted to do something a little more fun.  Since I love dogs and the outdoors, I knew dog walking would be perfect! I absolutely love spending my days with my furry friends.  When I'm not walking dogs, I'm usually busy watching my kids play sports and driving them around to various activities. If we ever get free time, we like to hike, bike, kayak, and ski.

Recently became a resident of Ohio in 2020 with my husband and 3 rescue dogs from Northern Michigan. My family and I go on hikes and love to explore different parts of Ohio almost every weekend. Being a walker in New Albany has been so fun, I love the area for all the walking paths, people and of course the four legged ones! My love for animals has been lifelong and seeing pups almost daily has brightened my days and brought me a sense of home in this new stage of life!

My family and I have made this fabulous and ever growing New Albany our home since 2008. Both our daughters are graduates of NAHS.Our dog breed of choice has been Bernese Mountain dogs. Most recently, we fostered and adopted our 7 year old mama Dakota from PRO Purebred Rescue Organization. She is a gem! My cat Kate walks daily with us amusing the neighborhood. Two of my favorite things are dogs and being outdoors, so I am living the dream!

I’ve lived here in Ohio my entire life and have always loved New Albany! I have my two girls Daisy and Peanut as well as three cats and a bearded dragon! Spending time with animals has always been one of my most favorite things so having the opportunity to walk with so many beautiful dogs is a dream come true for me. When I’m not spending time with all the lovely doggos I spend my time hiking or creating art!

Hi! My name is Beth and I recently retired from teaching Pre-K for 20 years in Westerville.

I have always been an animal lover and have had many pets including a dove, rabbit, dogs, and cats. I currently have a Dutch Shepherd mix who fills our empty nest with lots of snuggles and love.  I am the go-to family member and friend who is always caring for everyone’s pets. I have also volunteered at CHA in Westerville with walking rescue dogs as they wait for a permanent home.

I am now enjoying retirement and have my dream job of walking dogs.  I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved pets.

Hi, my name is Cat! I’m originally from Arkansas, but I came to Columbus to attend Otterbein University, where I’m studying zoology, biology, economics, and math. On campus, I am the president of an organization called OtterPAWs in which I work with a partner organization to bring therapy dogs to campus. Samson, the Saint Bernard in my photo, is one of our regulars on campus. Additionally, I have quite a bit of professional and personal experience working with animals, of which includes my current employment at an exotic vet in Columbus, OH. I have a pet snake and cat at home, and I plan to add to the family after I graduate! I look forward to meeting y’all and your fur family!

Hi my name is Finn! I’m currently an art student at Columbus State with plans to transfer to CCAD to pursue a bachelors in Graphic Design & Illustration. I grew up on a small farm in southeastern Indiana, so there has never been a time where I wasn’t surrounded by animals!

In my spare time, I love to make art, read, bake, practice yoga, take care of my plants, spend time in nature, and play D&D. My most favorite thing to do though is spend time with my 3 cats; Pikachu (pictured), Eevee, and Juno. I would do absolutely anything to make sure they are safe and happy! Loving animals is something that I have always been passionate about and I can’t wait to do the same for your fur-baby!

Hi my name is Madie! I grew up in a small town just outside of Gettysburg, PA, where I worked as an animal caretaker and assistant trainer for a farm with 44 miniature horses and 100+ other animals ranging from tortoises to emus for six years. From a young age my life has been filled four legged friends. Following graduation from Ohio State with my Accounting degree, I moved to Westerville with my cat, Olive. I also have two beautiful horses, Scarlett and Foxy. When I’m not cruising through excel spreadsheets or soaring over jumps with Foxy, I enjoy spending time with all dogs and cats, especially in the comfort of their home. I look forward to spending time with your beloved pet(s)!

Hi, I’m Alexis! I have called Columbus (New Albany) “home” for my entire life. After graduating from OSU in 2018 I began working in research, and ultimately ended up working remotely during Covid. My love (and obsession) with dogs led me to start watching family & friends’ furry friends once the pandemic was over. I can honestly say, dogs have brought so much happiness into my life. About a year ago I began a new journey as a medical student at Ohio University. When I’m not studying I enjoy running, cycling, and reading. I am so excited to spend my free time this summer hanging out with all of the wonderful dogs in New Albany and surrounding areas!

Mikaela was born and raised in San Diego, California. She works as a consultant in Disaster Recovery, where her primary responsibility is to assist local agencies in recovering quickly from natural disasters and obtaining funds to increase their resilience from future disasters. Mikaela moved to Panama City, FL, where she met her cat, Maximilian. Together, they went on walks, chased lizards, and climbed trees (with Maximilian on a leash and Mikaela always close behind). Now, Mikaela, Maximilian, and her boyfriend call Columbus, Ohio their home. Maximilian has adapted to the change in environment and now chases leaves and rabbits instead of lizards.
