About Us

River Ziener

As early as they could remember River always had a dog in the house. It started as a toddler with a pair of beagles then they got a yellow lab puppy named Rudy. He grew up quick and his everyday behaviors mirrored those written about in "Marley and Me". Since Rudy was never taught to walk on a leash he became unable to go for a walk without pulling his walker to the ground. From that experience River learned the importance of teaching the walk from a young age. When their neighbors had beagle mix puppies they begged and pleaded to have one, they vowed to walk him so he didn't exhibit the same destructive behaviors as Rudy. Spencer was brought home and they've been walking dogs ever since.
When it was time to leave home they couldn't imagine living without a dog into their home. It was only months before they met Balee. River has traveled the country with this little Corgi by their side. First they lived in Philadelphia, then California, Oregon back to New Jersey, down to Florida, up to north Jersey before finally settling down in Collingswood.
Over a decade in the restaurant industry allowed them to travel freely while climbing the ladder into management. After years of working 60 hour weeks running restaurants and needing the help of a dog walker for Balee they decided it was time for a change. River's natural hospitable nature translates to their desire to meet all your pet care needs.

Mare Rozzelle

Mare has loved dogs and cats as far back as she can remember. As a small child, she would often spend hours sitting under the dining room table while her parents whispered to one another, “I think she wants a dog.”
Well, she didn’t get a dog because her parents weren’t cool like that, but she did have lots of friends who had dogs and cats that she could live through vicariously. In college, she house sat for people’s pets to help pay for her books and tuition. When she struck out on her own and lived in apartments that only allowed cats, she had cats. Mare finally got her own house with her husband, Anthony, son, Jesse, and her daughter, Layla. Layla asked for a dog, that's when they got Mia, a Cairn Terrier mix. (Because she is a cool parent.) Then, a few years later, she and Anthony decided to visit the local animal shelter where they met and fell in love with a dog they named, Bowie, who is a Welsh Springer Spaniel/Blue Tick Coon Hound mix. He's also a senior dog who had been at the shelter way too long and her family opened their hearts and home to him.

When Mare is not petting and walking dogs, you can find her in her home studio recording music for The Vague Ideas
