Meet the Dream-Team
Dee Draper,
Co-Founder & Pack Lead
As a lifelong animal lover and devoted dog foster mama for nearly a decade, caring for and rehabilitating dogs has always been my passion. Raised in a state forest in an animal-loving parents, I grew up surrounded by pets and wildlife of all kinds, and learned early on how love, adventure, and consistent care can truly transform a life.
Through fostering, I’ve seen firsthand how exercise, socialization, and positive attention can turn even the shyest, most anxious, or under-confident dog into a healthy, happy, and confident companion. And that’s exactly what I promise with every off-leash adventure - put simply, the chance for your dog to just be a dog.
Andrew Waldron,
Co-Founder & Pack Caboose
My passion for animal care has been a lifelong journey. Growing up on a farm in Virginia, I learned how to care for multiple animals at once and saw firsthand how open space and consistent, loving care help them thrive. Since moving to Brooklyn in 2016, I’ve had to find creative ways to wear out city pups - doing everything from longboarding with dogs, to setting up agility courses in Prospect Park.
As a marathoner and professional outdoor photographer, I bring energy, endurance, and attention to every dog I take exploring. I’d love to help your dog play, explore, and live their happiest, healthiest life.
