Wendy (she/her)
– Owner
Wendy has surrounded herself with dogs, cats, and horses, her whole life. After several years in the corporate world, including a stay at 3M as a packaging engineer, she decided to sniff out a different career, so to speak.
With the purchase of Dog Days in 2004, Wendy has been able to realize her passion for helping dogs and the people who love them. Wendy purchased Metro Dogs in February 2018. She actively oversees both companies while maintaining a great management team that runs the day-to-day operations.
Her three previous Wheaten Terriers initially helped drive the business, but have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Wendy is now the proud dog mom to Luke, a Goldendoodle rescue, to Olivia, a Wheaten Terrier, and to Crosby, a 3-legged cat who thinks he’s a dog.
Bailey (she/her)
– Co•Manager
Before taking on a manager role at Metro Dogs in January 2025, Bailey started working at our sister company, Dog Days, in 2015. Over her 9 years she took on various roles starting out as a handler, working up to team lead and front desk coordinator, and eventually taking over as the assistant manager.
Her tenure at Dog Days was marked by fostering positive relationships with both dogs and clients, and mastering playgroup management. Her personal experiences with her own dog, Bowser (a 7 year old boxer mix), and many daycare dogs have driven her to continue learning and advocating for better, safer spaces for dogs.
Outside of Metro Dogs, Bailey can be found tending to plants in her greenhouse and garden, caring for her cats,Gizmo, Taco and Soot Sprite, as well as her many fish tanks!
Allison (she/her)
– Front of House Manager
I joined the Metro Dogs team in 2013 and have truly enjoyed every second of it! As the Front of House Manager, I will do everything I can to ensure all the pups and their parents have a smooth and positive experience.
I treat every dog that comes through the doors as my own and strive to create a warm and friendly environment for everyone. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Julian, and our 5 cats: Jellybean, Leo, Meep, Butters, and Gus!
