Meet the Wellness Team
The People Behind the Care.
Different specialties. One shared commitment to helping dogs feel better, move better, and live better.
Our team brings together experience across care, wellness, behavior, nutrition, and relationship-centered support so the dog standing in front of us is always seen as more than an appointment.
Adia W..
Founder + Director
Adia has spent more than two decades helping dogs and the people who love them navigate behavior, relationships, nutrition, wellness, and everyday life together.
Her work has evolved from complex behavior and canine coaching into a broader whole-dog philosophy that recognizes how deeply emotional wellness, physical health, nutrition, movement, instinct, and relationship are connected.
With professional education spanning canine behavior, separation anxiety, family-dog mediation, small-animal nutrition, raw feeding, and animal herbology, Adia’s role today is less about delivering one individual service and more about guiding the vision behind the Wellness Center.
Her belief is simple: care should be built around the dog standing in front of us, not dogs in general.
At home: Owned by Athena, Apollo, Raina & Major. Adia is lifelong student of dogs, and the person continually asking, “How can we do this better for them?”
Andre R.
Operations + Canine Experience
Andre helps turn the philosophy of the Wellness Center into what families actually experience when they walk through the door.
His role centers on day-to-day operations, canine experiences, team coordination, and maintaining the standards that allow the building to function intentionally rather than simply stay busy.
Andre brings a grounded, practical presence to the team and understands that good canine care requires more than knowing dogs — it requires consistency, observation, communication, and an environment where both dogs and people know what to expect.
As Woof Houze continues evolving, Andre is helping lead the operational side of that transformation while keeping the dog’s experience at the center.
You may also recognize Andre behind the wheel of the Bark Buz™. As Captain of the Bark Buz™, he helps bring some of our canine experiences beyond the Wellness Center, making sure the journey itself is part of the experience.
At home: Owned by Bluey. Andre understands that every dog entrusted to us is somebody’s family.
Samantha M.
Rewilded Care Lead
Samantha brings 16 years of professional care experience to Rewilded Care™, along with the calm, patient presence that makes her especially valuable to dogs who need something different.
Her clients describe her as someone who reads the dog in front of her, adjusts rather than forces, takes breaks when needed, and never treats comfort as an inconvenience. Her experience includes senior dogs, dogs with physical limitations, anxious and reactive dogs, cats, and families who have struggled to find someone willing to work with their animal thoughtfully.
For Samantha, this work became more than a career. She describes animals as having taught her patience, gratitude, trust, and the importance of creating a space where they feel understood and respected.
That philosophy makes her a natural fit to lead Rewilded Care™.
At home: Owned by Remy and Lucy. Samantha considers the connection she shares with animals one of the most meaningful parts of her life.

Gabby G.
Rewilded Care Companion | Wellness Team
Gabby has grown alongside Woof Houze and brings hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, preferences, and needs.
Within the Wellness Center, she supports Rewilded Care™ while also helping create the calm, familiar environment we want dogs to experience throughout the building.
Gabby understands that the little things matter noticing when a dog needs space, changing the pace, allowing time to settle, and recognizing that cooperation looks different from one dog to another.
Her role as a Rewilded Care Companion is exactly that: to support the Lead, support the dog, and help ensure that care remains thoughtful, consistent, and relationship-centered from beginning to end.
At home: Owned by Banjo. Gabby understands the trust involved when someone asks us to care for theirs.
