Meet the Team

We're Anna and Brandon, the small dedicated team behind Paws With Purpose. We built this business to offer the kind of pet care we'd want for our own animals: personal, consistent, and genuinely loving.

Co Founder

My love for animals started early. Caring for neighborhood dogs was my very first job as a teenager, and owning Paws With Purpose has brought that love full circle.

I'm the runner of the team and especially love working with high-energy dogs who are happiest when they're on the move. Whether we're out for a run, exploring on a walk, or taking things at their own pace, I learn what makes each dog happiest and meet them there.

Cocoa, my 10lb mini poodle, is my little sidekick. With your permission, she loves tagging along, especially for pet sitting, where she brings extra fun for dogs who enjoy companionship.

While you're away, you'll hear from me often: photos, updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is in loving hands.

Co Founder

I've always had a genuine love for animals and feel most at home when I'm spending time with them. Getting to know each pet, their quirks, their pace, the little things that make them who they are, is one of my favorite parts of this work.

I especially love working with energetic dogs and giving them a real outlet. Some want to explore everything; others just want to run and reset. I pay close attention and make sure our time together is something they look forward to.

My goal is simple: I want your pet to be genuinely excited to see me every time I walk through the door, and I want you to feel just as good about it as they do.

Chief Walk Extension Officer

I take my role at Paws With Purpose very seriously, especially when it comes to making sure no walk ends too soon. With your permission, I'm happy to tag along for walks, runs, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I love meeting new dogs and adding a little extra energy to the adventure.

Off duty, I've been on a hot air balloon, gone to the movies, ridden a speedboat, and traveled across the country. I'm pretty much up for anything.
