Meet the Tailwaggers

  • Adria-owner

    Adria

    OWNER

    In 1994, Adria began walking dogs, part time, while attending U of T to become a teacher. However, instead of teaching, her love of her pooches inspired her to open Tailwaggers in 1996. (One of the first dog walking services in Toronto). Her love and passion for dogs has only increased over the years and in 2010 Tailwaggers expanded to include a Doggy Daycare & Grooming Salon!

    Erin has over 15+ years of grooming experience. Her gentle touch and care does not go unnoticed by all of the pooches she grooms and makes beautiful. As the first official employee hired by Tailwaggers in 2010, she also has developed a close relationship with all of the dogs in daycare.

    Sassy

    DAYCARE STAFF

    As sweet as can be and one of a kind, Jennifer (aka Sassy) started out as an eager co-op student in 2016. She was one of those girls who would stay passed her hours or until closing time to offer a helping hand with a smile and to love the pooches. Being a dedicated family person it is clear that she has a huge heart and would make an amazing addition to any business. How lucky are we to have this Sassy Girl?

    A lifelong animal lover, Sam’s relationship with Tailwaggers began as a placement student in 2017 while studying at Sheridan under their Animal Care program.
