Meet Kelly Kotsiris | Owner of Adventure Pups LLC

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kelly Kotsiris and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kelly, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind Adventure Pups success is the happiness we bring to our clients / pack members. Being an entrepreneur means having many different “bosses” and people to please. My client’s happiness drive how successful Adventure Pups will be. Word of mouth, online reviews and simply having the strong brand presence within the community is crucial in any service industry. The needs and wants from my clients are what drive the direction of the business. Adventure Pups is all about providing tailored services to each one of our pack members to create the best possible adventure for your pup. Taking on extra hours, adding goodies/surprises during the holidays and providing thoughtful report cards are some of the ways we like to keep our clients / pack members satisfied. Putting myself in my clients shoes has been vital to our success.

We are so proud of the Dog Pack we have accumulated over the past year since we started in February. Each one of our pack members are sweet and have their own unique personalities that make adventuring with so fun.
Getting to the point where I am full-time adventuring with pups was not an easy road. I acquired my Master’s of Accountancy and became a public accountant for approximately three years. Those were not easy years to get through and really took a toll on my mental health. Moving to Colorado over a year ago really changed my perspective on where I want to be in life and how I wanted to spend my time. Dog care was something I have done my whole life and starting off small while still having a primary income was my opportunity to leave a draining profession. After 6 months of putting in many hours into two separate careers I was finally able to focus on the one that made me feel happy and fulfilled. I learned always having a goal to achieve was the best way to motivate myself out of times that were not so motiving.
I would like everyone to know Adventure Pups LLC’s primary focus is to provide the best possible service to their pack members while keeping them safe and healthy!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to thank my Mom for always showing me her support and being my devils advocate whenever I needed. She has helped motivate me through the not so fun parts of starting a business. She is my rock and I wouldn’t be at this stage of my career without her.
