Karlee

Office Coordinator/ Pet Care Pro

Joining the team in 2016, Karlee has been passionate about dogs her entire life. If she's not at the dog beach with her two pups, then you can probably find her hiking or helping coordinate rescues. The passion she feels for dogs is unmatched by anything else, and she couldn't imagine not working with them on a daily basis!

Erol

Pet Care Pro

Hi, I’m Erol! I’ve been part of the team since 2019. I grew up with animals my whole life. I absolutely love animals and photographing them in my free time. I have a passion for pets of all shapes and sizes. My dog is my family and any other dog that steps “paw” in our home is family as well, so feel at ease knowing that your best bud is in good hands! 

LeVonna

Pet Care Pro

LA native and lifelong animal lover, LeVonna has enjoyed spending time with the HDOAR fur babies since 2019. If she’s not out walking dogs, pet sitting or volunteering at a local rescue group, she can be found at home snuggled up with 2 dogs and 2 cats of her own.
