The chain of command here
The chain of command here
is a little unusual.
Yes, this is real. Jayton sits at the top, the dogs run management, and the founders handle the actual work. Somehow this has produced a very solid home services company, so we are not questioning the system.
Board Chairman
Jayton
Absolute authority. No appeals process.
The dogs report to him. His word is final. He has not abused this power yet.
The Dogs (Report to Jayton. Manage everyone else.)
Chief Executive Officer
GiGi
Rottweiler / Staffordshire Terrier, Certified Service Dog
GiGi doesn't just run the company. She runs a full behavioral correction program and Taylor is her longest enrolled student with the worst attendance record. Certified service dog. More credentials than both founders combined. She communicates exclusively through meaningful eye contact, a single raised eyebrow that has ended arguments, and the kind of sigh that says “I cannot believe I have to explain this again.” She has explained it seventeen times. Results remain mixed. She has not given up on any of them. That is the most impressive thing about her.

Director of Yard Security
Gracie
Boxer, Backyard Patrol Professional
Gracie takes her job title very seriously and would like you to know that she saw you pull up before you even turned off your car. She does not bark to be dramatic. She barks because the mailman has been pulling that same move for three years and she is not going to be the one who lets it slide. Off the clock she is a velcro dog who can go from a full coma snoring loud enough to rattle the walls, to galloping through the house at full horse speed in under two seconds with zero explanation. The transition is seamless. Cardiologists have questions. HR does not.

Chief All-Seeing Officer — Forever
Kosta ✦
Beagle-Dachshund Mix, 13 Years, Knew Everything
Kosta lived 13 years and spent most of them knowing things he should not have known. He could read the room before you walked into it. He knew when something was wrong, when someone was lying, and when the poop had been collected incorrectly. He was Lorenzo's dog, which meant he was also everyone else's problem, in the best possible way. He attended every meeting, said nothing on record, and somehow always had the most important information in the room. He is gone now, but the Howly founding documents still list him as a permanent advisor. We did not amend that. We never will.

The Founders (Report to the dogs. Running the day-to-day. Trying their best.)
Founder
Taylor
Founder
Taylor handles the infrastructure that makes Howly run like a real company. Business systems, client experience, marketing, and the long-term vision. Also a dog dad, so no part of the pet services around here is an afterthought. GiGi would not allow it.
Reports directly to GiGi. Performance reviews are quarterly. They are not going well.
Co-Founder
Lorenzo
Co-Founder
Lorenzo is the reason the work gets done right. Real work ethic, field reliability, and the kind of operational consistency that makes a service business worth recommending to a neighbor. When Lorenzo is on a job, it gets handled properly and left better than he found it.
Also reports to GiGi. Gracie approves of his work. Kosta watched over every job Lorenzo ever ran for thirteen years and never once doubted him. Lorenzo carries that forward every day.
