My Whys?
When people ask me why I started The Paw Bus, my answer is simple:
I was looking for a life that made me genuinely happy.
For years, I owned a beauty salon. I loved the relationships I built with my clients and everything I learned as a business owner, but deep down I felt like something was missing. I wanted to wake up excited about my day. I wanted to spend more time outdoors, stay active, and build a business that truly reflected who I am.
Then one day, I came across another Latina in the United States who had started a dog adventure business. Seeing someone who shared a similar background living such a joyful, fulfilling life inspired me more than I can explain. I remember thinking, "Why can't I do something like that?"
That simple question changed everything.
I've always had a special connection with dogs. Back home in Colombia, I had three Schnauzers who were my whole world—Sasha, Natasha, and Lupita. Sasha was my first baby, and later she became the proud mom of Natasha and Lupita. Losing Lupita a couple of years ago was heartbreaking, but the love I have for dogs has only grown stronger over the years.
Today, I get to spend every day doing something that fills my heart.
Every morning, I pick up dogs who can't wait to jump on the bus. I watch them run through the trails, make new friends, build confidence, and simply enjoy being dogs. Then I get to bring them home tired, happy, and fulfilled, knowing I've made their day—and hopefully made life a little easier for their families too.
There's something incredibly rewarding about seeing a busy owner smile when they receive photos of their dog having the time of their life while they're at work. Knowing I can give dogs the adventure they deserve while giving their families peace of mind is what makes this business so meaningful to me.
And yes... one of my favorite traditions has become our Starbucks stops for Pup Cups! Watching their excited faces when they realize where we're going never gets old. Those little moments remind me why I chose this path.
The truth is, these dogs are more than clients to me.
I see them every week. I celebrate their personalities, watch them grow more confident, and build a bond with each one. They've become my little four-legged best friends, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
The Paw Bus isn't just a business—it truly is my dream life on four wheels. 🚌🐾💚
