Who We Are
Rascals & Mutts was started by myself, Josh Little and my fiancée Lauren Park. I met Lauren in 2015 whilst living in her home city of Sydney, Australia. We both knew we wanted careers working with dogs as we spent most of our time hanging out in parks hoping to pat dogs, we must have looked a wee bit strange!
We used to regularly board dogs in Sydney before we packed up and made the big move to Toronto, Canada in 2016. It was there that we set up a dog walking company called Downtown Dog Walkers. We ran that for 2 years and absolutely loved it. The winters were a bit rough but the dogs made it worthwhile. We ended up being good friends with our clients and made great bonds with their dogs, we still keep in touch with a lot of them today.
We then moved to Edinburgh, Scotland (where I'm from) and we set up Rascals & Mutts. We were very fortunate to gain some amazing clients and dogs and we had the pleasure of working with them for 2 years. We felt very privileged to be out in the beautiful Scottish nature every day, even if it was raining 99% of the time! It was very tough to say goodbye to them all when we left for Australia.
Since coming back to Australia, Lauren has taken a back seat and is working in a different industry but is still very much involved when it comes to boarding dogs. We have decided to settle down in Sydney and we absolutely love it here. We finally have a dog of our own, and yes, she's very spoiled and very cute. Her name is Ginger and she is the face of the company.
