Meet The Owner

Thank you so much for visiting my bio page. I am an animal lover who joined Camp Bow Wow as a franchise owner in December 2007, and am the current owner of Home Buddies in Washington, DC. Prior to succumbing professionally to my love of pets, I worked in government and government contracting for a number of years. I have held various management positions in finance, budget development and execution, and grants management. I graduated with my bachelors and masters degrees from California State University and am currently working on a PhD in Business Administration (in my very spare time). I have two precious four-legged children – Maxwell and Jasmine (Shih-Tsu's) who I adore. Maxwell (my first born) is a special needs pet who enjoys napping wherever you are, kibble-hockey, baths (not), and playing in the snow. Jasmine came four years later and is a spunky diva who speaks her mind. She becomes wide eyed with any mention of treats and carries around her squeaky squirrel everywhere she goes. They are the loves of my life! I look forward to sharing my passion for pets with you and providing the same level of care for your precious pet that I provide to mine.

Regards,

Elishia (and Maxwell & Jasmine)
