✨ Feeling grateful + proud today ✨
When I look back at everything Tide Pool has accomplished, it blows my mind a little. We’ve built something real here—together—with countless hours poured into not just the fun parts (snuggles, walks, and wagging tails), but also the grind. Sixteen-hour days, winning over neighbors, endless permitting hoops, and creating new workflows that keep this whole thing moving forward.
None of it would be possible without the crew by my side:
🐾 Rachel, Emma, Sydney, and Cady—thank you for showing up with heart, grit, and humor every single day.
🐾 My pet sitting team—you’re the quiet heroes keeping pups happy and cared for.
🐾 Our clients—you’ve trusted us, supported us, and made this dream a real thing.
Huge thanks to Ross Majors for being bold enough to set up solar—because without that, the off-grid piece wouldn’t even exist. And to my fiancé, Reaney—thank you for endless meal prep, patience with my chaotic schedule, reminders to rest, and rolling up your sleeves to help with the physical work too. If you ever need a handyman or a carpenter, Ross and Reaney are your guys.
This year has been about balance: growing Tide Pool, grinding through the unglamorous parts of running a small business, and still finding moments to breathe so I can keep showing up stronger.
Here’s to the team, the community, and every single dog who reminds us why we do this. 🐕🌊🌲
