Finn
Pup Handler
Finn has always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets taught him early on how to be patient, attentive, and confident in reading each animal’s body language. That lifelong experience shaped his calm, easy-going approach and helps him make every dog feel comfortable and understood. Finn loves dogs deeply and has two of his own, giving him a personal understanding of the care, trust, and consistency pets need. With genuine affection for every animal he meets, Finn brings warmth, reliability, and a caring presence to every walk and visit.

Bringing a background in social media marketing, graphic design, and digital assistant services, he thrives on any challenge that comes his way. Outside of work, he loves getting outdoors on scenic bike rides!
