The Pooch Pitt, tentatively opening on Feb. 11, offers daycare, boarding, grooming, training and specialty products for pups—including dog food, treats, leashes, collars and sweaters.

The Pooch Pitt staff is comprised of five employees, certified in grooming and training. And all are animal lovers, Dymond said.

A staff member will be working around the clock for the boarded dogs that may need walked at 3 a.m.

“We’ve had a great team come together,” she said. She agreed The Pooch Pitt is a one-stop shop for dog owners alike.
