The RWC Team
The RWC Team is currently 18-strong, a significant increase from the days when we started with six. First and foremost, we are a team of dog lovers, who want the best for all dogs. Second, we are people who are dedicated to doing the hard work necessary to care for the dogs who come to RWC. Third, we hold ourselves to rigorous standards of excellence and integrity.
It is not easy to be a member of the RWC Team because of our high standards, but for those who make the cut, RWC pays a competitive wage, and offers multiple benefits, including health, vision and dental insurance, a company-matched 401(k) plan, as well as profit-sharing bonuses.
Meet the key members of the RWC Team.
Jodie, Chief Dog Lover (Owner & CEO)
Jodie started as an angel investor in Real World Canine, but after the company not performing and losing a lot of money under previous management, she decided to take over management in April 2022.
Since then, RWC has purchased its own building, introduced multiple new programs for dogs, instituted health, dental and vision insurance for staff, as well as a 401(k) plan, and RWC is now THE premier provider of canine services as well as the employer of the most well-trained, and the BEST compensated canine care workforce in the industry in our area.
Jodie is doing the training required to be a dog trainer so she can understand dogs even better, and will be working on the PACCC (Owner/Operator) certification in 2026.
Kaylee, Director of Operations
Kaylee started as a dog handler at RWC almost 4 years ago, and has worked her way steadily up to her current position as Jodie's second-in-command, Director of Operations.
As Director of Operations, Kaylee oversees all daily operations, including staff traing and performance, canine programs, canine welfare, training, boarding and staff accountability. She led RWC through an eventful summer in 2025, and has overseen tremendous growth and expansion of services.
She is also working on her CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed) certification.
Vacant, Deputy Director of Operations
Wesley, Administration Manager
Wesley joined the RWC team in late 2024. Since then, they have shown an ability to be detail-oriented, a wide versatility, and a willingness to take on different tasks.
