DoggieDay Pet Service
Lou
Whitney — CEO
Lou is the consummate entrepreneur -- this represents
his seventh business venture. Previous businesses included a restaurant/catering
company, a gift store, a publishing company, a mergers and acquisitions
firm, and furniture and general contracting business. Prior to his
own ventures, Lou held a number of positions, including VP at a national
insurance provider, registrar of a technology college, materials and
production coordinator for a computer manufacturer and a district
manager of a fast food chain. To say he has a lot of experience to
draw from to make DoggieDay a success is an understatement.
Lou served in the United States Air Force as a linguist/analyst
stationed at the National Security Agency. He holds a B.A. in linguistics
from the University of Maryland and an M.B.A. from Anna Maria College
in Paxton MA.
Rob Galeski — President
Rob has been in charge of day to day operations for
DoggieDay since its inception. He has – nearly single-handedly
-- grown the business from a handful of clients in the fall of 1999
to over 500 registered clients today. In addition to DoggieDay, Rob
has held a variety of positions that form his deep business knowledge.
He has been a space planner, a general manager of a well known fast
food franchise, and held other customer service positions within the
food industry.
Rob is a graduate of Wentworth Institute of Technology
and has a degree in Architectural Design.
