Our Story

Woof & Board was born from a simple idea: pet care should feel as warm and reliable as home. After experiencing firsthand the struggles dog parents face—from endless searches to the anxiety of trusting strangers—we set out to create a sanctuary where consistency meets compassion. Today, Woof & Board is that place—a trusted haven where pets are loved like family, and parents can finally have peace of mind

Meet Madina & Tutti

Madina Semega-Janneh

Founder

A lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, Madina founded Woof & Board with a simple goal: to give pet parents a more personal, comfortable alternative to traditional boarding. After caring for dogs herself, she saw how much of a difference a loving home environment, familiar routines, and individual attention can make.

She created Woof & Board to provide the kind of care she'd want for Tutti—warm, dependable, and centered around making every pup feel safe, happy, and at home.

Chief Pup Officer

Tutti (pronounced Too-tee)

Small in size, big in personality, Tutti is the inspiration behind the Woof & Board standard of care. As Madina's resident sidekick, she's a daily reminder that every dog has their own personality, preferences, routines, and very strong opinions about how they'd like to be treated.

When she's not supervising Woof & Board operations, Tutti enjoys cozy naps, neighborhood walks, plenty of attention, and making sure every visiting pup knows who's really in charge.
