Evan

Evan dedicates his full time to LaundroMutt™ and the B.Y.O.D.s.  Evan is the official designer (and handyman, bookkeeper, computer repairman, etc). He has meticulously scrutinized everything from the design of the logo and the colors of the walls, to the placement of the tubs and shape of the divider walls.  Yeah, there's some OCD happening here, just ask the staff. When Evan is not working broken vacuum or rearranging the dog leashes following Kandinsky's color theory, you can find him engrossed in many different sports and activities. He is an avid rower and plays Ultimate Frisbee. His Australian Shepherd, Brumby, is a great practice partner. Some of Evan's other favorite ways to past the time are flyfishing, sailing, tennis, skiing, cooking and sometimes . . . sleeping.  Read more about Evan.

Elizabeth O.

Elizabeth has a strong background in zoology and animal behavior. In college she spent time abroad studying wolf and red deer interactions in Poland.  After graduating, she immediately found her place at the Minnesota Zoological Garden (The Minnesota Zoo) as a dolphin trainer.  Eventually she was promoted to a zoo keeping position in the Asian Tropic department.  However, Elizabeth was soon lured away by Peggy Callahan at the Wildlife Science Center (www.wildlifesciencecenter.org), a non-profit in Forest Lake, Minnesota.  The Wildlife Science Center (W.S.C.) is a nationally recognized education and research facility.  It is home to a multitude of animals, including no less than 50 wolves.  Her first official position was as a Den Mother to two litters of 15 4–week–old wolf puppies.  Read more about Elizabeth.

Elizabeth opened the first self–service dog wash in the Greater Boston area in 2004. LaundroMutt™ was inspired by her first German Shepherd, Maya.  Throughout her eleven years, Maya battled skin issues such as rashes and hotspots caused by allergies.  One of the best remedies for her skin problems was frequent, medicated baths.  Groomers were an expensive option, the claw and ball bathtub was a messy and back–braking option and holding her under the cold–water hose in the backyard was not an option at all. It was through her trials and tribulations with Maya's skin issue that Elizabeth realized the need for a self–service dog wash.  And thus LaundroMutt's™ (and now B.Y.O.D.® Dog Wash, as well) mission became clear: to promote the health and wellness of dogs through bathing, a healthy diet, plenty of mental and physical stimulation and consistent training.
