Kevin Powers
Head Pack Leader
My name is Kevin Powers. I’ve been working at Doggy Playcare for 5 years. I have had dogs my entire life. What I love about Playcare is that every dog that comes to our program ends up feeling like one of my own. Working with a pack is a unique opportunity to see a different side of dog behavior. Behaviors you don’t usually see when a dog is with their owner or alone. Another favorite part about working at Playcare is seeing how the dogs develop friendships. It is so rewarding to see a new dog, who on their first day, was too nervous to come into the center without their human, and by the second day they are charging in excited to play with their new friends. We pride ourselves on our commitment to ensure that your dog has the best possible time when it’s their day to come to our Playcare program. I know everyone on our team shares the same passion!
Tyler Wood
Assistant Pack Leader
My name is Tyler Wood, and I have now been working at Doggy Playcare for a little bit over 2 years in total. I love animals so getting the opportunity to be around such amazing dogs each and every day is extremely fun. Every dog that comes through those gates every morning are amazing in their own special way. Building friendship with them, and treating every dog like your own has been one of my favorite things about working with the pack. I look forward to continuing to take care, and make sure the pack has the best time possible here at Playcare alongside our amazing team!
