THE HUMANS BEHIND MY KINGDOM
You’ve heard enough about daycare. It’s time I introduce you to the people who actually keep this place running.
Peace, Love & Paws has always been a family thing.
It started in 2017, when my humans began caring for dogs from home. Turns out they were pretty good at it, because by November 2018, PLP had grown into an actual facility here in Nashville.
And somehow, it just kept growing.
What hasn’t changed is the part that matters: this place is still owned, operated, and cared for by the same family that started it.
No giant corporation. No people in suits somewhere making decisions about dogs they’ve never met.
Just my humans, a really good team, a whole lot of dogs, and me supervising everything.
Obviously.
DARLENE & ANN
Founders • Owners • The Ones Who Started This Whole Thing
Meet Darlene and Ann, the humans who started Peace, Love & Paws back in 2017. What began with caring for dogs at home grew into the place you know today, mostly because apparently they decided having a normal amount of dogs around wasn't enough.
They've poured years of love, work, and probably a few million dog hairs into making PLP a place where dogs are genuinely known and treated like family. They're the reason the rest of us get to call this place home.

BRITTANY & GAVIN
Owners • Operations • My Mom & Dad
These two are my humans, so unfortunately I know them pretty well.
Brittany and Gavin help keep the day-to-day world of PLP running, from the dogs and staff to clients, reservations, projects, repairs, and whatever unexpected nonsense the day decides to bring. They've helped grow PLP alongside Darlene and Ann while keeping it the same family-run place it was from the beginning.
Most importantly, they're my parents, which means anything impressive I've accomplished is technically a reflection of their parenting.
Anything I've destroyed is unrelated.

PAIGE
Owner • Manager • Keeper of the Chaos
Meet Paige, owner, manager, and one of the humans brave enough to help keep this place running every day. She knows our dogs, their personalities, their routines, and all the little things that make each of them them.
She helps keep the humans organized, the dogs happy, and the daily PLP chaos moving in roughly the correct direction.

BELEN
On-Site Supervisor • Resident Human • Keeper of the Fort
Meet Belen, our on-site supervisor! Belen actually lives right here at PLP, which means when the rest of my humans head home for the night, she’s still here keeping an eye on the place and making sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and settled in.
Having Belen on-site gives everyone a little extra peace of mind, especially when pups are staying overnight. Plus, somebody has to be here when one of us decides 2:00 AM is the perfect time to have feelings.

MEET THE BOSS - Mr. Sue
CEO • Mascot • Supervisor • Definitely Not the Reason We Needed That Rule
Well, well, well. You finally made it to the important part.
I’m Mr. Sue. Rottweiler mix, PLP mascot, daycare regular, professional supervisor, and son of Brittany and Gavin.
I spend most of my days making rounds, keeping an eye on my humans, hanging with my friends, appearing in entirely too many Facebook posts, and occasionally creating new company policies through personal experience.
I took over mascot duties from a pretty legendary guy named Moose, which means I had some very big paws to fill. Literally. The man weighed 160 pounds.
Moose will always be part of PLP and the family who built it. I’m just lucky enough to carry on his job of representing this weird little place and all the dogs who call it their second home.
I take the responsibility very seriously.
Unless there’s food.
