This one honestly means a lot 😎🐾
FITPUP was featured in USA TODAY!
It’s hard to put into words how cool it feels to see something that was once just an idea in my head now being shared on a national platform.
When I started FITPUP I really didn’t know where it would go. I just believed in the idea and wanted to create something that could genuinely help dogs and their owners, especially reactive and high-energy dogs that don’t always have the same opportunities to get the exercise and outlet they need.
Since then I’ve spent countless days driving around Orange County picking up dogs, running sessions, building relationships with clients and their pups, and slowly turning this idea into something real.
To now open USA TODAY and see FITPUP’s story being told is one of those moments that makes me stop and appreciate how far this has come.
I’m incredibly grateful to every person who has trusted me with their dog, referred a friend, shared our page, supported the business, or believed in what I was trying to build. You’ve all played a part in getting FITPUP here.
And the coolest part is that I still feel like this is only the beginning. We have some really exciting plans for the future of FITPUP, and there’s so much more I want to build and accomplish.
For now though, I’m just going to appreciate this one.
Pretty damn cool. ❤️🐶
Thank you USA TODAY and Maddie Rhodes for sharing our story.
