Joanne and her husband, Dean, founded Who Let The Dogs Out in 2009 as a dog walking service, quickly transforming it into one of the premier dog daycare businesses in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada. Recognizing its potential, Lynn Growth Partners acquired a 75% stake in the business, with Joanne remaining a key partner and manager. Joanne later made the difficult decision to step away for health reasons, selling her remaining shares to Lynn and resulting in us taking full ownership of the company.
Today, the business, now emBARK Doggy Daycare, offers specialized daycare and boarding services for small dog breeds, working in collaboration with trainers, dental hygienists, and groomers to provide a comprehensive suite of services that meet the diverse needs of dog owners.
