Our Humans

Hi there! My name is Sarah Downey. I'm a Denver native and I believe there's a deep connection between exercise, fresh mountain air, and adventure...and having a fuller life--for both dogs and humans. When we go "back to the basics," we are our happiest and healthiest selves. 

Before starting APW in 2019, I worked in tech startups after a five-year career in TV development in Los Angeles. I loved this work, and struggled finding balance. The busier I became, the more challenging it was to hold space for my roots—an active outdoor lifestyle, and a slowing down to take the best care of my mind, body, and a very good Golden Retriever.

My experience owning and working with mix breeds, purebreds, and dogs of all ages and abilities guides my journey. 

My goal is to help people live a better life by giving their dog the best care. Care that provides nourishment found only in the great outdoors. Care that eliminates the phrase, "I should." I believe caring for dogs is ultimately about caring for people, too.

This is my life's work. I get to do this work and I adore it. Taking care of your favorite thing on the planet, is my thing, and I'm so happy that you're here. Can't wait to meet you!
