MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Harry!

My journey with dogs began at the age of 14 when I first volunteered at a vet clinic in Venezuela. From there, I worked with an Ethologist dog trainer and steadily advanced in the pet care field.

At 20, I completed my degree in advertising and then moved to Israel, where I earned certification as a veterinary technician.

I spent several years working with animals, especially those with special needs and health conditions, which gave me invaluable experience. I love caring for pups who require that extra touch of TLC!

Key Highlights of My Career:

Veterinary Technician & Assistant Manager at freeDOGm (2016–2021)

Dog Trainer apprentice, Operation Manager at Bauser's Pet training (2021–2023)

Head Veterinary Technician & Administrative Manager (2007–2015)
