Our Founders

Jill Skinner, President

After a 10-year career in the business world and earning degrees and certifications, she decided to pursue her passion - working with animals. Her longtime love of animals came from living with 10 different dogs, 6 different cats, and a parrot over the years. She has ventured to the Galapagos Islands and Costa Rica to get close to wild animals such as sea lions, marine iguanas, and monkeys. In addition to providing pet care and running the business, she volunteers at a local animal shelter and is an Animal Behavior College certified dog trainer.

Wes Skinner, VP

A marketing and advertising pro for years, Wes runs the marketing and operations of the business. In addition to his obsession with cars, he is an outdoors enthusiast that loves to hike, camp, make art, and ski. Just like Jill, he also has a love of wildlife. Wes has encountered numerous bears in the Sierras, been taunted by monkeys in Costa Rica, and swam with sharks in the Galapagos Islands. He has spent countless hours working with our mascot, Ozzy, to bring him out of his shell and teach him tons of tricks.

Ozzy Skinner, Mascot

Ozzy is our mascot, sidekick, and the inspiration to start this company. The original Super Doggie came to us as a scared, timid rescue dog, but now he’s a silly, energetic, lovable barrel of fun. He loves to hike, wrestle, run, jump, and catch a frisbee. He’s at his happiest when he’s running around a campsite or the beach, and his favorite trick is "rock on!"
