Anneli, the owner of Running with K9s Pet Services, became heavily involved with volunteering as a dog walker at a local animal shelter in late 2021. She enjoyed spending time with dogs but wanted to dedicate more time to it. This sparked the idea of starting her own pet services business. In 2022, she came up with the name and logo for her business. The name “Running with K9s” reflects her love for taking her two Huskies on trail runs in Patapsco State Park. After the loss of her beloved rescue dog, Sherman, at only a year old, Anneli decided to make her dream of starting a pet services business a reality. She wanted to care for animals full-time. She partnered with A’ndrea and Will, who had been caring for Sherman at a local dog daycare, to start the business.
