Marketing, Head of Boarding & Daycare
Brigitte Annabelle
If I were a dog, I’d be a Pitbull
What are you hoping to achieve? What I aim to achieve is, what I believe, the most fundamental goal: to make each dog feel happy, welcome, and loved, while offering the support each pet parent needs in terms of care. Whether it's watching the dogs or taking them for a walk
Milestone: After six months of teaching Jack Jack, a Beagle mix, the "paw" trick, he finally gave in and gave me his paw—mostly because he noticed the other dogs getting treats when they did it!
Fun advice: If you need to hide something, tuck it in a poop bag—but just make sure you don’t grab the wrong one!

Finance & Accounting, Pet Care Specialist
Alicia Annabelle
If I were a dog, I’d be a Shiba Inu
What are you hoping to achieve? I’m always looking for new ways to make pet care fun and adventurous for the dogs. I aim to find creative ways to overcome the limitations of the neighborhood and city, ensuring the dogs stay enriched. For example, turning solo walks into group walks, allows the dogs to build confidence together
Milestone: One of the exciting things we’ve started is Deogee Adventures, where we take the dogs to a suburban area with a large private dog park, letting them run around freely with other dogs we know and trust in a big open space. It’s the perfect opportunity for them to just be dogs—free to have fun and enjoy themselves!
Fun advice: Don’t judge a dog’s intellect by their ability to do tricks!

Logistics, Head of Walks
Yosua Andrew
If I were a dog, I’d be a Belgian Malinois
What are you hoping to achieve? My goal is to see dogs socialize and play together, coming out of their shells with both dogs and humans. It brings me so much joy, especially since dogs give us so much love without ever asking for anything in return.
Milestone: Ruby, an Anatolian Shepherd mix, and Harper, a Cattle Dog mix, are both introverted and shy around humans and other dogs. But after consistent walk sessions with them, I’ve seen incredible growth. They’ve started to open up, wag their tails, and even play with the dogs they once shyed away from. They’ve gone from avoiding me to approaching and greeting me with sweet hugs.
Fun advice: Staying calm is the secret ingredient to walking multiple dogs, but if all else fails, a private dog park can save the day!

Human Resources, Pet Care Specialist
Esther Wijaya
If I were a dog, I’d be a Doberman Pinscher
What are you hoping to achieve? What I aim for is to help each dog thrive and truly be themselves. My goal is for dogs who start off feeling uncomfortable or shaken to eventually feel happy, safe, and comfortable—knowing they can receive hugs and affection. And when they’re feeling energetic, they’ll have doggy friends to play with and enjoy their time.
Milestone: Milton, a Greyhound, and Rocky, a German Shepherd, both entered our home feeling uncomfortable and visibly shaking. But with a slow approach and consistent affection, I was able to give them hugs, let them play with the other dogs, and even watch Milton hop around when he's excited to play. Rocky also started playing fetch with the other dogs around, joining in on the fun and building confidence.
Fun advice: Talk to the dogs like they’re human children, and you’ll be surprised at how much they understand you!

Facility Maintenance & Delivery
Yosea Andreas
If I were a dog, I’d be a Australian Shepherd
What are you hoping to achieve? I aim to create a clean, safe, and well-maintained environment that feels welcoming and homie for all dogs. My top priority is to support the dogs in a way that ensures their safety and well-being while they enjoy their time here. I strive to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for!
Milestone: Toffee, the mini doodle, approached me with no hesitation. She isn’t shy at all, and even though she’s only 3 months old, she’s already comfortable in this place!
Fun advice: Have a treat on hand!
