The business is led by April, who grew up caring for animals and attended an agricultural high school with a major in Animal Science. She was a member of her school's FFA and competed on its Veterinary Science team at local and regional competitions, and worked at a local dog boarding facility for three years before college. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology from Mt. Ida in Newton, Massachusetts, where she was a kennel manager at the school's USDA facility and interned at multiple facilities. She adopted her first dog, Sarafina, in 2011 and has fostered many dogs, including deaf and blind dogs. She is a Certified Veterinary Technologist, Certified Canine Fitness Trainer, and FitPAWS Master Trainer. She began working at a dog physical rehabilitation center in 2013, where she was introduced to canine fitness while competing with Sarafina in several sports, and she works to spread knowledge of canine fitness before injury rather than only after it.
