Meet The Team
WHO WE ARE

Sonja
OWNER / CEO
Pipsqueak Pups is a family owned business developed by a busy dog owner for busy dog owners. Having to leave her own fur-baby home alone for long work days, PSP owner Sonja knew others were in need of pet service. Over the past 12 years, she has continually worked to improve, develop, and provide quality pet service including daycare, home boarding and puppy training classes. Sonja has created her own brand of homemade organic cooked dog food for your precious pup called Charlie's Famous Muttballs. TASTE THE LOVE!

He has the best time playing, petting, feeding, walking the pups and is a dedicated loving member of the Pipsqueak Pups team. As Brian says, “I have the best profession in the world that comes with unconditional love!”

Sue
Sue grew up on a sheep and cattle station in Australia, so has been around animals most of her life, and values their importance in our lives - especially dogs, from working breeds to pets.
She has had a varied career, including nursing, where she has travelled extensively; branching out into vocational rehabilitation and even working as a barista with Starbucks for over 20 years. All the time staying connected to dogs, as a dog-walker for many years, and she is well known in the Kitsilano neighbourhood.
More recently, with her own two dogs, “Ramona” and “Coco.” Sadly, she had to say a fond farewell to Ramona in September 2022, and Coco is dependent on Sue, as she is blind.
“I was flattered when Sonja asked me if I could join the team at Pipsqueak Pups,” Sue says, “and it is such fun to be around so many different breeds and understand their traits and personalities. They all bring us such Joy.”
