I’m Meggie, founder & CEO of Skipper.
This all began back in 2016 when my husband I started looking for a dog walker for our two pups, Stinson and Khumbu.
We wanted a reliable pet care service we could trust to come into our home and take care of our pups during the work day. Our busy schedules would often change last-minute, so being able to easily book visits same-day was really important to us. Come to find out… convenience, reliability, and love that matched our own love for our pups would be impossible to find.
We’d run out of options, and I decided if I could’t find what I was looking for… a pet care service that could accommodate our modern lifestyle… then I’d build it myself. Skipper was born, and, since then, I’ve made it my life mission to bring trust, adventure, and peace of mind to other pet parents like us.
What started as a one-person dog walking business has expanded to a team of over 90 Skippers (dog walkers) and 4 facilities, including the first on-site pet care facility in an apartment community, and the first tech-enabled social play venture built for pups and their people.
A personal frustration turned into a passion for building the highest end pet care and social experience. A place where trust and transparency guide the client experience. Where the ease of cutting-edge technology, and a clean and safe place to give you peace of mind and a chance for you and your pup to get your wiggles out. After all, we’re not just dog-friendly…. we’re dog-focused.
