When not working you’ll find her down by the river with her with dogs Easton & Monte, cuddling with dog-guests by the fire, or playing and coaching softball. Marg is excited to be the leader of the DogZen team and to be contributing to your dog’s quality of life and happiness!

Kaarina

Kaarina at DogZen
“if you find a job you love then you never work a day in your life”. Although i absolutely love teaching fitness and yoga i felt there was something missing in my life. I started making a list of things I love. Two things anyone would know about me is that i love being outside and i absolutely adore pups and miss being able to have my own adventure buddy. So i thought how i could i combine these things i love? I spend my days hiking or running trails with these fur buddies then my evenings teaching my passion for fitness. Did i ust break the code for a fulfilled and happy life?

Grace

Grace at DogZen
In order to find Grace in her happy place, you’ll have to look to the trails with your pups, where they are getting all the love and affection they could possibly dream of. As the sun goes down and Grace goes home, she cosies up on the couch with her cat and works on one of her many novels that one day, she’ll hopefully publish.
