Meet The Team


We created To Wag And To Hold because we love love, and we love dogs. Get to know our team of professional dog handlers and the inspiration behind it all.

  • DANNA

    FOUNDER & DOG HANDLER

    Originally from Chicago, Danna’s work in retail merchandising brought her coast to coast. After living in the big apple for 5 years, she landed in the beautiful PNW. When she’s not working, you’ll find her watching 90 Day Fiancé or shopping for new outfits for Ube.

  • UBE

    CHIEF PAWTROL OFFICER

    Ube is one sassy pup. Being a Sheepadoodle, she’s also a hard working dog. She makes sure that her pack always stays together. Ube’s hobbies include napping on her laz-y boy couch and pawtrolling the mean streets of Seattle (from the window of course)

  • TONY

    DOG HANDLER

    After moving from the Bay area in 2016, he has decided to call Seattle his forever home. But he still remains faithful to the Giants and Warriors. He enjoys bringing his dog on hikes, roadtrips and breweries. He’s still on his quest to find the best taqueria in Seattle.

  • FELICITY

    DOG & CAT HANDLER

    A PNW native, Felicity has lived in Seattle for over 10 years. She likes to take advantage of all of the great things the city has to offer– fresh oysters, craft beer, local music, and beautiful surrounding mountains. When she's not hanging out with her cats, she's usually found at a brewery hanging with the dogs.

  • HANNAH

    PET HANDLER

    Washington state grown, Hannah has been in the events and wedding industry wearing a multitude of hats for 8 years and counting. When she isn't coordinating, designing, or assisting dogs and other animal friends on their guardians wedding days, you can find her and a pack of dogs out hiking on one of the many PNW Trails or traveling the globe one country at a time.

  • CLAIRE

    DOG HANDLER

    Claire is a PNW born, Texas bred gal. Currently working in the health + wellness industry, she is also pursuing a nutritional therapy certification! When she isn’t working or studying, you can find her and her pup, Stella (who moonlights as a polar bear), hiking with Claire’s mom, grabbing a sweet treat + exploring their favorite bookstore, or spending the weekend with Alex + Rigsby!

  • ALEX

    DOG HANDLER

    Alex has always been a big animal lover. His sweet dog Rigsby stole his heart the first day he volunteered at an animal shelter in Austin and took him home that very day. On the weekends you can find him and Rigsby at the beach, at a concert or cheering on Taylor Swift & the KC Chiefs.

  • WENDY

    DOG HANDLER

    Wendy is from L.A and moved to Seattle in 2019. She has a background in project management, which is helpful in keeping things organized on wedding days! She is also a part-time pet sitter & enjoys becoming BFFs with the dogs and cats she watches. Wendy loves food, sunsets, & her dog Bruce.

  • MADDY

    PET HANDLER

    Born and raised in the PNW! Lover of the outdoors and anything that has to do with art. I have 2 dogs; Bowie and Maple and one cat named Frankie (who thinks he is a dog). Between being a mom and having two active dogs you can always find us outside hiking or somewhere on the beach!
