TulsaPets Magazine May 2021

May/June 2021 • TulsaPets 21 and John’s management expertise, they have built a team of dog lovers who pride themselves in providing has- sle-free grooming, overnight boarding and doggie daycare services that are a treat for the dogs and pet parents of Owasso and the surrounding commu- nities. Loyal client Carrie Daigle says, “We are so fortunate to have found great people. … owners and employees all. I never worry about leaving our dog, whether boarding, daycare or groom- ing. BYOD is the best!” John and Rachel have felt the love and care from Carrie and other clients returned back to them as Rachel battles cancer. “I love watching my wife use the skills she acquired as a special education teacher to work her magic on the dogs entrusted to our care,” John says. “The relationships we have built with our loyal clients and their dogs over the years is truly the most rewarding aspect of my job though. There has been nothing more moving to me than to see the outpouring of love upon my wife and I over the past four and a half years as Rachel was diagnosed with and continues to fight stage 4 colon cancer. “Sharing in the ups and downs of life with our people and their beloved dogs makes what we do so worthwhile. We truly love all our dogs and their people, and we know they love us.” Now through Sunday, July 11, when the business celebrates its 10-year anniversary, Bring Your Own Dog is celebrating customer appreciation to show just how thankful they are. Customers can mark their calendars and stay tuned on Facebook for exciting details to come. One other way Bring Your Own Dog shares the love is by helping rescue organizations, such as Zoi’s Animal Rescue and Skiatook Paws & Claws. Rachel and John have, themselves, been “rescued” by a Terrier mix named Lollie, a Shih Tzu mix named Peggy and a Black-mouthed Cur mix named Rosie. “You can see them pretty much any day of the week since every day is ‘bring your own dog to work day’ at BYOD!” John says.
