About Us
Meet Our Team!

Hi! My name is Chris,and I am a lifelong animal lover who has always had a soft spot for dogs. I grew up moving around the east coast with my Marine Corps pilot dad, my mom, sister, and we always had a dog as part of the family. When I moved away to college at FSU, I decided to work for Rover to make some extra money and to enjoy some dog bonding.:) I really loved the experience! Leo, my goldendoodle, became a favorite companion during my second degree; he went with me everywhere I could take him. I realized how difficult it was to find someone to take care of Leo the way I would and thought about the fact that I’m sure a lot of people struggle with finding quality dog care givers they can trust. I graduated with a degree in Entrepreneurship and Finance. My dream has always been to use that education to run my own business. I began working as a Finance Analyst at a HR Company, but I decided to leave the corporate world and do one of the things I love most: spend time loving on dogs. My goal is to offer busy dog parents who adore their dogs a stress-free day or vacation knowing their dog is not being ignored or alone. Customer service, kindness, and trustworthiness is very important when you are entrusting someone with two of your most important assets: your dog and your home. I am offering you a premier service, one that you can count on. I will do my best to always be timely, professional, loving, responsive and communicative with you about your pup’s visit with me. I will treat your baby like family. I am excited to share my lifelong passion of animals with the Pensacola community and hope you will sign up to “join the pack”!

Hi I’m Grayson! I am a dog lover, book reader, trail hiker, farmer’s market enthusiast, beach lounger, sudoku queen, coffee cup hoarder, amateur* (emphasis on amateur) baker, inspirational quote junky who loves to fill my days watching witty British movies, drinking coffee with my people and family, eating good food with my husband and snuggling my doodle, Luna.

In 2019, I graduated from Auburn University with my undergraduate and masters degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering and now work for an engineering company in Huntsville, AL. My formal education and passion for people and pups are what interests me in working with Fetch Fido as Innovation Analyst.

I have over 5 years of top-notch customer service experience, and I’m excited to use my skills to give you and your pups the best care possible. I’m joining the team as your new office manager, and I will be here for any questions you have! I can’t wait to meet all of you loving dog parents at future events!

Katie
Billing Manager
Hi! I’m Katie and am super stoked about being part of the Fetch Fido team! Currently, I work at West Florida Baptist Academy teaching middle and high school! In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends and, of course, my two puppies, Maci and Marley. They are both miniature dachshunds although one is not so “mini” 😂. In 2018, I graduated from Pensacola Christian College with an undergraduate in History with a double minor; and in 2020, I graduated with a masters in Educational Leadership. With my formal education and love for my puppies, it has instilled a desire and interest within me to work with Fetch Fido in handling their finances. I work to ensure that our team has the means necessary to continue serving you!

Amanda
Dog Care Professional
Hi y’all, I’m Amanda!👋 I was born and raised in a small town right outside of Dallas, Texas. I moved to Pensacola in 2019 to pursue a degree in Marine Biology at University of West Florida! 🐠 I’m a lover of all animals but I have special soft spot for sea turtles and (of course) dogs! ❤️ When I’m not caring for these adorable critters I like to spend my time sitting outside reading books while sipping iced coffee, singing and playing my ukulele like I’m the main character in the musical of my life, and spending time with my friends and family as they demolish me in the board games I introduced to them. Back in Texas, I have three dogs: tiny lap-dog Charlie, everyone’s best friend Jah, and spunky old man Gino. I miss them very much so I’m adoring getting to love on your fur babies while I’m away from mine. I understand the difficulty in being separated from your pups so I’m grateful to be someone you can trust to give them all the love and care they deserve as a member of the Fetch Fido Fam! 🐶💕

Connie
Dog Care Professional
Hi Guys! 👋 My name is Connie and I’m thrilled to be a new member of the Fetch Fido Family! 🎉 I’ve been married 35 years to a wonderful guy named Ricky, and we moved to Pensacola last October from SW Louisiana. We have 3 adult children, and currently 2 pups, a snake and lots of fish!😍 Wesley, our English Springer Spaniel, and Nero, our Husky/Lab rescue from Husky Haven of FL, are loving the Florida life! ☀️ Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. Several years ago I discovered the world of transporting rescue dogs and helped drive as few as one or as many as a mom and 10 pups to their receiving rescues, fosters, or forever homes. Ricky and I have rescued, fostered, and adopted pups in need, while still having our own fur kids. It wasn’t always easy, but definitely rewarding. ❤️ In my “previous life,” I have been a registered pharmacist and a massage therapist. With my love for dogs, I am currently studying to become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. Just as massage can benefit people, it can benefit our 4 legged family members. Their quality of life can improve through stretching, joint mobilization, flexibility, and a healthier immune system. They can have an improved cardiovascular system and stress/anxiety reduction. I hope to be able to offer these services to our clients after I complete my study and hands on workshop in Toledo, OH this Spring. 🎉🥰 I am loving meeting all of the wonderful pups in the Fetch Fido Family and spending special time with all of them!🥰🎉❤️
