About the Owners
 Sarah grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area surrounded by pets of all kinds - dogs, birds, hamsters, rats, turtles, cats, pet ants, pet caterpillars, and more. She studied to be a computer scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz. After a few failed attempts at calculus, she left school and turned to the profession of Web Design. She found herself a little unhappy and unfulfilled sitting in a cubicle and staring at a screen all day and the company was going under, so she gladly accepted a small severance package when she was laid off.
She wanted desperately to have a profession where she could wake up in the morning eager to go to work.
She replied to a "Dog Walkers Needed" ad she saw in the local newspaper. She found that she really enjoyed working with all of the dogs she was fortunate to be entrusted with, and she decided to make pet care her full-time profession.
 Sarah and Tim met 7 years ago and have been best friends and partners ever since. They have a Schnauzer/terrier mix, Milo, and an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie cross, Adelaide (Addie). After a successful year running a dog-walking business in California, Sarah and Tim moved to Colorado in March 2003 to begin a lifetime of reliable animal service here. They started The Divine Canine LLC in August 2004 when Sarah bought the existing Doggy Depot Canine Daycare business located in Lafayette, Colorado. On October 1, 2006, they moved to the current facility off of Hwy 42 in Louisville.
