Sandra H.
Senior Walker, Joined in 2021
Sandra hails from the Emerald Isle (Ireland) and has called Cary home since 2007. She is from a quaint rural farming community named Glenmore in County Kilkenny where her family has owned farmland for centuries. She has raised 3 sons who are now men in this wonderful state of North Carolina.
Back in the old country, Sandra helped raise cattle and tended to the health of many domesticated and wild animals. Her first pet was a budgie (parakeet). An avid exercise fanatic, you can always catch her out walking (or running) with her rescue Pit/Lab mix Rigby. Sandra still has the tenacious nurturer persona in her and is willing to share it with your loved ones as if they were her own!

Jenna was one of the team members who joined Peak City Puppy after acquiring another Dog Walking company in 2014. Since that time, she's remained a beloved member of many Raleigh families. Jenna is hard working and holds down another full-time job as a geneticist in RTP. She lives off Glenwood with her fiancé and dog, Gobo.

Ray R.
Senior Walker, Joined 2021
Ray was raised by teachers, and this gives him a unique perspective on animal care. He takes the whole "dog dad" thing very seriously and believes that, just like with kids, how we treat pets has a huge impact on the way they treat us. He's always striving to understand animals from their point of view, which is why you can find Ray on the floor next to the dog at any given party. Some of his favorite training tools are positive reinforcement and modeling.
Ray has fostered cats and dogs for local rescues, taken care of countless pets for friends (everything from horses to lizards to rabbits), and started dog walking and pet sitting animals for another company in Chapel Hill. After relocating to RTP/Durham in 2021, Ray joined Peak City Puppy. In his free time Ray enjoys going to figure skating practice to escape the heat.
Savannah S.
OVERNIGHT SITTER, Joined 2021
Savannah is a North Carolina native, growing up in High Point, NC and graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in May 2020 with majors in public relations and Italian. She is currently a social media coordinator for Empire Properties in downtown Raleigh and enjoys graphic design, video editing and sewing.
Besides her passion for the arts, she has always enjoyed spending time with animals. She grew up alongside her family’s yellow lab before they adopted a white German shepherd puppy during her first year at college. When the pandemic hit her senior year, she decided to foster two kittens before eventually adopting them. Although she enjoys spending time with her cats, she has missed interacting with dogs on a daily basis and is very excited to meet and hang out with the clients’ dogs.
