About Us
As the new owner of Rustic Retreat Lodge for Dogs, I am both honored and excited to continue the legacy that Josh and Falon Markow created. I am fully committed to maintaining the exceptional care and service that you have come to expect from this facility.
The Lodge began as the Markows' dream to create a small, unique, family-run boarding facility, and this vision is one that I share. With a lifetime of experience working with dogs, I am passionate about continuing this tradition. My family raised German Shepherds, I’ve worked in search and rescue, and have trained dogs for performance sports. Additionally, I founded and currently lead a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the well-being of our canine companions across the country.
