Grant Garl
Owner / President

What do you get when you mix extensive sheet metal and HVAC experience, a desire to take “green” to the next level and a love for all things furry? Why, you get Fit ‘N’ Furry co-owner Grant Garl, of course!!

Grant never wanted to retire, so in his mid-fifties he figured starting a new business and career would keep him out of trouble AND the old folks home until he’s 100.  Grant is involved in every aspect of Fit ‘N’ Furry and he loves every minute of it.  Being a “hands-on” kinda guy, he is the operations/maintenance person, marketing guy and Human Resources Department all rolled into one!

One of the things Grant loves about Fit ‘N’ Furry is being given the opportunity to love and care for our clients pets.  “It’s really special to be able to show our clients that we love something that they love”.

  Marci Garl
Owner / Manager

Three Daughters, Grandkids, Grand-dogs, and Fit 'N' Furry, Oh My!!

Co-Owner and Manager Marci Garl slices through the day to day challenges of owning a business with the ease of a master chef.  Marci has always called Northern California her home, growing up in  Novato just down the road from Petaluma.  As a child her family always had dogs.  Now a "Nonnie" to three grandchildren and three grand-dogs she balances her time between family and business.  The newest addition to her family is Dandy a Shih Tzu-Pekingese Mix puppy.  He is affectionately referred to as the "Dandy Dog".

Marci says:  " As an owner, I never realized how much time I would spend or how much I would enjoy this business.  I love providing a safe and comfortable home away from home for the pets in our care; when you leave them with us we treat them like our own!"

 
Nicole Sutton
General Manager

Musician by night and General Manager extraordinaire by day, Nicole Sutton has been with Fit ‘N’ Furry since the beginning.  By way of Detroit, Lake Tahoe and now, Petaluma, Nicole is an integral part of Fit ‘N’ Furry. She loves animals and has a 14 ½ year old Dalmatian.

She really enjoys watching the dogs in the playroom and she loves working in a place whose sole objective is to make sure they are safe, healthy and happy.  Nicole had this to say about FnF,  “At Fit ‘N’ Furry we understand that your pet is a part of your family and our main objective is to make sure they are under as little stress as possible while they are boarding or socializing.  I am constantly amazed at how easily dogs adapt to new surroundings.  I have seen dogs with severe separation anxiety turn around in a matter of hours and really enjoy their time here. This type of socialization is so good for them."

 
Ina Scrocco
Head Trainer

True story, imagine this: a 5 year-old girl is walking down the street with her dolls.  It seems average, until you see that this particular little girl happens to be dragging them along with leashes!!!  That’s a born dog trainer!

Ina Scrocco has been training dogs for over 30 years.  She loves being around all the employees here who love animals and the pet owners too here at Fit ‘N’ Furry.

In addition to training, consulting and participating in various dog sports with her Belgian Shepherd (who is 11 and still herds and does agility!!) she is also a published poet and is writing a book. She also enjoys the occasional ballroom dance.

Kristy Ahumada
Pet Tech

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but our resident photographer and pet tech Kristy Ahumada is worth 10,000!   A long time animal lover, has 2 cats, each 16 (both of which are very happy and healthy) and her newest addition is Lewey--a great little Puggle who she brings to work with her everyday.  Kristy enjoys every moment that she spends here at Fit ‘N’ Furry and she goes the extra mile to make sure all of them are happy and healthy, like each one was her very own.

Kristy had these choice words to say, “Being around dogs helps remind me to live in the moment and to stop worrying about the future and dwelling on the past.”
