One of our many proud "corporate dropouts", entrepreneur Denise Caruso, a former accountant and financial analyst with an MBA from St. Mary's College, is the owner and operator of Northern CaliforniaÕs first Dogtopia.

Dogs have always been a large part of Denise's life and her family. Dogtopia provides a key service to the community as a place dog owners can bring their canine companion to a fun atmosphere instead of leaving them home alone during the day or while on vacation. She's thrilled to bring that peace of mind to dog owners in the Tri-Valley. The freedom of owning her own business also allows her to expand her interest in therapy dog work, agility training and assisting the adoption/rescue community in the area.

Denise, a native Californian, currently resides with her Jack Russell Terriers, Hannah and Sampson. She often attends the JRT trials in Northern and Central California and she frequents the local dog parks.
