Chris’s love for dogs runs deep, so getting paid to hang out and take care of puppies is the best job in the world. Sometimes, she even takes a few puppies home for a sleepover and a Puppy Love party of her own! As someone who has felt the benefits of having dogs in her life, Chris loves being able to share that joy with others—and help find rescue pups permanent homes.

Justin, TopFunnel

"Thank goodness that Puppy Love exists. The team had the BEST time with the 10 puppies that came to our event. One of our engineers even adopted one of the cute little fur balls. It was absolutely a successful event, and I can’t wait until we can host another!"

Lauren, GEM

"Puppy Love is my first RETURN TO OFFICE event for my tenants! I’ve had them come to my buildings before and this is by far, the most popular type of event without alcohol hehe "

Rita, Brickman

"Sabrina’s passion, commitment and creativity are evident in all aspects of her Puppy Love events. Partnering with Puppy Love has helped to raise our visibility via their well-attended corporate events. Not only are these events really fun to participate in, but they have also helped to increase donations to our organization as well as to help find forever homes for our adoptable puppies and dogs."

"Sabrina is the most professional and PASSIONATE business owner I have ever worked with. She is constantly trying to give her clients a first class experience filled with love and tenderness. I have never seen a company that provides such a positive FEEL GOOD EXPERIENCE like Sabrina’s Puppy Love does. Who would think a bunch of adults hanging out and playing with adorable puppies would be such a hit!! Sabrina did… CONGRATULATIONS on a wonderful business you have. Wishing you much success in the year to come."

"To the Puppy Love Team, thank you for an incredible day and experience. We truly enjoyed having you and can’t wait for your next visit. Everything you did, from the setup to sharing stories with our employees, was well done and much appreciated "

Blake, Samsung

"Sabrina and her entire team were great! We had a corporate event and Sabrina organized puppies and canine companions to be at our conference over a 3-day period. All attendees were in love with this idea and it really made the entire conference extra special. Attendees could not stop talking about the experience and I was so grateful that Sabrina took care of everything and was so organized. All we had to do was show her where the puppy area was, and her team took care of everything. Extremely organized and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants a unique experience at their next event. Thank you, Sabrina and team, for being awesome! "

Bryan, Gilead

"What a perfect way to bring our colleagues back to the office… with a Puppy Love Party! Everyone who attended walked away with huge smiles on their faces and their hearts full… begging for more “Puppy Fridays”. Sabrina and her team were so wonderful to work with and helped make the experience a memorable one. We can’t wait to bring them back and have many more puppy parties in the future! "

Jake, Salesforce

"I hired Puppy Love for an event in our office in San Francisco. We had been hosting some creative happy hours of sorts and someone had the great idea of a puppy play date! Thank goodness that Puppy Love exists. The team had the BEST time with the 10 puppies that came to our event. One of our engineers even adopted one of the cute little fur balls. It was absolutely a successful event, and I can’t wait until we can host another!"

Lena, Pulse

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a corporate wellness event for Google where they hosted Puppy Love, who provided an amazing puppy experience. I’m an avid animal lover and was thrilled to see an employee engagement that not only focused on employee wellness but also gave back to the community in such a meaningful way. The Puppy Love event was fantastic. We were able to interact with adoptable dogs, and the event organizers provided information on the featured rescue who provided the pups. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to support such an important cause – not to mention have a blast! I was impressed with how well-organized the event was - and the attention to detail. The pups were well-cared for, and the Puppy Love team was great. This was an excellent example of how a company can help make a positive impact on the community while also promoting employee wellness/happiness. I hope to see more events like this in the future, and I applaud Google for their commitment to giving back and supporting their employees in this way."

Google, Business Admin Partner

"I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic work you did at Manifest. Your puppy booth was a real hit and brought a lot of attention to our company. The fact that you worked so hard to make it happen did not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your efforts more than words can say. In particular, we wanted to thank you for bringing in so many great leads for us. Your presence and the excitement it generated were instrumental in helping us connect with potential customers and partners. We believe that these connections will lead to great things for our business, and we owe a lot of that to you."

Geodis, Events Manager

"We can't express enough gratitude for the amazing event we hosted with Puppy Love and the rescue puppies. It was heartwarming to see our fans and players come together to support such a great cause. The puppies brought so much joy and laughter to everyone, and it was an unforgettable experience to see 25 of them find their forever homes. We feel privileged to have been a part of this event, and we look forward to continuing to support Puppy Love and their mission to help provide people with joy and help the rescue care for animals in need. "

Warriors, Sponsorships

Our Interns + Staff truly loved spending time with the precious puppies! Your services helped make this event magical and I cannot thank you and your staff enough.
