Co-Founder
“Pets are natural catalysts of joy. They help ease the stress in our everyday lives. In my practice, I've prescribed everything from medications to meditation. But I've learned... Sometimes the best cure is the offer of a pet nudge to prompt a human hug.”
Tim Maliyil
Founder
“I've led teams, managed complex projects, and built thriving organizations—but figuring out how to care for my dog? That's a whole new world. Pet parenting is its own skill set, and we can all use a lot more help.”
