Meet the Team
Jordan Cerrillo, Co-Owner
Our Regional Manager has been with Dogtopia for nearly five years and brings a deep passion for dogs to everything he does. For Jordan, nothing is more important than showing pet parents the Dogtopia experience and ensuring a safe, happy, and enriching environment for every pup in our care. He shares his life with three beloved dogs: Harper, an energetic Australian Cattle Dog; Wallaby, a playful Australian Shepherd; and Indy, a sweet and spunky Aussie Doodle. Dogs aren’t just part of his work—they’re his life, his passion, and his purpose.
