OWNERS: 

Once upon a time (2003), Terry Rath befriended Jeff Voelpel.  Jeff owned and operated a doggy daycare in Hyde Park called K-9 Kamp.  Terry with his great danes was a weekly customer.  Terry approached Jeff with a business plan outlining the type of luxury pet care facility he would like to leave his furry family members when he traveled.  Not some chain-link cage where dogs are locked up all day but a luxury interactive boarding facility.  To Terry's amazement, Jeff had outlines of the very same business plan!  So Jeff and Terry joined forces and talents to create The Pet Spot, Inc.
