Lauren and Joseph Getts, the dynamic duo behind DOGHOP, have carved a niche in the pet transportation industry by providing door-to-door services for dogs and cats across the United States and Canada. In a recent conversation with Fred Kocher, the couple shared the inspiring journey that led to the founding and growth of their innovative business.
DOGHOP was born out of a passion for animals and a desire to make pet relocation as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners. The Getts emphasized the importance of safety and comfort during transportation, ensuring that each furry passenger is treated with care. Their commitment to quality service has not only garnered a loyal customer base but also contributed to the overall well-being of pets during their journeys.
As they continue to expand their reach, Lauren and Joseph remain focused on maintaining the personal touch that sets DOGHOP apart in a competitive market. With their beloved dog, Winston, by their side, the Getts are dedicated to making every pet's travel experience a positive one.
