Meet the Co-Founders
Kristina Griffin
Kristina’s journey into pet fitness began with her beloved puggle, Samson. At 16.5 years old, Samson unexpectedly became paralyzed due to a severe herniated disk in his neck (C2/C3). Despite his age, Samson’s overall health made him a candidate for emergency surgery. Following the procedure, water therapy became a cornerstone of his recovery and fitness routine.
The results were remarkable—Samson not only regained mobility but also shed 3 pounds, reaching a healthy weight for his stature. Witnessing the transformative impact of fitness-focused programs, Kristina became passionate about helping other pet owners provide their dogs with opportunities to thrive, no matter their age or fitness level. She co-founded The Pet Gym to offer a safe and professional environment for pets to stay active, healthy, and happy.
Laura Dumitriu
Laura is a lifelong animal lover and accomplished entrepreneur with a passion for supporting pet health and wellness. As the owner of several businesses, she brings a wealth of expertise in operations and customer care to The Pet Gym. Her older lab, Carlos, has personally benefited from water therapy as part of his fitness journey, inspiring Laura to help create a facility where all pets can access the tools they need to stay fit and vibrant.
Together, Kristina and Laura aim to create a welcoming space where pets and their owners can focus on fitness, wellness, and having fun.
