We started Take Five as a concept. It would be a business we could feel comfortable leaving our dogs for longer periods of time, to be able to travel in the future. It would need lots of outdoor time, large, clean, bright inside spaces with lots of natural light and people to run it who cared about dogs, loved their jobs, and worked happily together. Everyone would have a voice. 

​

As a self-employed building contractor and a self-employed architect for over 40 years we felt we had the skills to make this happen!​ We designed and built the spaces of Take Five with the help of family, friends, our amazing subcontractors and our future managers, and opened for business in 2016. 

​

When we originally started thinking about the business, our first priority of course was the happiness of the dogs. And what naturally followed was another priority of creating a business where our employees were happy too. What we believe and let guide us each day is that every person is important and valuable.  Through the years our staff has made the workings of our dream come true, not only for our dogs, but for all our clientele--2 footed and 4 footed.

​

We are endlessly grateful for all of you.
