Meet the Zoomies Team

The Heart Behind Rockville’s Most Trusted Dog Care

At Zoomies Dog Care, our small family-run team is dedicated to more than just dog walking and grooming — we build genuine relationships with every pup we care for. With decades of combined experience, we offer a level of attention, safety, and consistency that larger companies simply can’t match. Your dog is treated like family from the moment we arrive.

Why Choose Zoomies Dog Care

Choosing the right dog walker or groomer isn’t just about convenience - it’s about trust. At Zoomies, we keep our client list intentionally small so every dog receives the consistency, attention, and genuine care they deserve. Your pup is never handed off to strangers or rotating staff; they’re cared for by the same two people every time.

Our mission is simple: to provide the kind of dog care we’d want for our own pups — consistent, compassionate, and rooted in genuine connection.

Owner Nicole and her Shiba Inu Luna

Nicole & Luna

Groomer, Professional Best Friend & Nervous Pup Whisperer

Nicole is the heart of the Zoomies grooming studio and plays an active role in our daily dog walking adventures. With years of experience as a former kennel manager, she shifted from high-volume care to a more personal, relationship-focused approach. Nicole has a natural gift for working with anxious or fearful dogs, using patience, gentle handling, and genuine affection to create a calm, positive experience for every pup.

At her side is Luna, the undisputed Boss of the household. A discerning Shiba Inu, Luna is the master of the “proper introduction.” She prefers to observe new friends before engaging, leads every walk with quiet confidence, and fully expects every passerby to acknowledge her royal status - and she's not shy about showing her disappointment when they don’t!

Co-Founder Spray and his Rottweiler mix Oakley

Spray & Oakley

Spray brings a steady, intuitive presence to the Zoomies team. Whether he’s navigating busy sidewalks or assisting in the grooming studio, his calm confidence and quick reflexes make him a natural leader. He specializes in safe, structured handling for dogs of all sizes - especially strong, high-energy, or reactive pups. Spray is also a dedicated student of canine behavior, continually refining his techniques to ensure every walk is balanced, enriching, and safe.

At his side is Oakley, our 15-month-old “Social Director.” A Doberman/Rottweiler/Shepherd mix, Oakley is a friendly, confident presence who helps guide positive socialization. She often joins dog-friendly clients on their walks, adding a little extra “zoomie energy” to brighten their day.

Our Team Promise

Our team is dedicated to continuous education in pet safety and handling. We believe that every dog deserves a calm and structured environment. Therefore, we work together to ensure your pet is happy from the moment we arrive. Because we are a two-person team, we provide a level of oversight that is rare in the industry. Above all, our goal is to be the most trusted dog care team Montgomery County has to offer.
