Our Team
Mariah
Owner/Trainer
After many years of working with other trainers, Mariah was ready to set out on her own. Dogs just flock to her, making her the natural pack leader. Some people just have it and let’s just say she’s got it! Dog whisperer may be the correct way to describe what she does on an everyday basis!
Although Mariah does everything, her main duty is to train your pup! She knows how to handle, train, and love on every dog that walks through her doors. Dogs are and always have been her calling and something she couldn’t live without.
Just have one conversation with her and you’ll know your pups are in great hands!
Vinnie
Owner
It all begins with an idea and let me tell you Vinnie has a million. He is ready to make leashes, pick up and drop off pups, play with puppies, AND pick up the dog poop! You name it he is up for it!
Before joining Mariah on her dog training Journey, Vinnie worked in the service trade marking him a jack of all trades! Once they decided to join forces and do the dog business together, they have been unstoppable!
Vinnie has proven to be a refreshing and perfect part of the pack. Combined with Mariah these two are the perfect couple to take care of your four legged friends.
Melody
Manager
Aside from being Mariah’s mom, Melody is one of the biggest parts of Paws Up Vacay.
Melody runs almost all the errands that we need taken care of here at Paws Up Vacay. Whether it is taking a pup to an appointment or running to pick up dog food, Mel is always on it!
Mel is also our Manager so chances are, if you are dropping off or picking up your pup, she will be there working away!
“Mariah and Vinnie are warm and welcoming. Made sure our pup had lots of fun and made a good social transition to being around other dogs easy. Will be using them in the future, highly recommended!.”
