Co-owners of Dogtopia Raleigh, Tami Land and Janet Wahlmeier met while working at IBM together. They learned they shared a mutual love of animals as well as a shared entrepreneurial spirit and wish to own their own business. They found Dogtopia online and were impressed by the customer service the concept offers to its clients - both human and canine alike! They are thrilled to bring this new concept to the rapidly growing doggy scene in Raleigh.

Tami and Janet are both fully supported by their husbands, Bill and Kevin. Tami and Bill met while in the Air Force. They are parents to five children, Elaine, Ryan, Markel, PJ and Polly. PJ being a sweet black lab who loves car rides and his squeaky toys and Polly being his adopted sister. Janet and Kevin are the proud parents of two rescued felines and two rescued dogs, Kiki and Lana.
