About Us
At K9 Cool Bus, first and foremost our mission is to promote pet health and wellness one stop at a time and provide dependable, high-quality pet care with the love, respect, and attention every K9 deserves. We treat every dog as if they were our own, prioritizing safety, consistency, and peace of mind for pet parents who value trust, professionalism, and genuine care that your K9 deserves.
We are Missy and Pete, the duo behind K9 COOL BUS! We blend calm, intuitive care with strong,
structured handling while Missy specializes in helping anxious or shy
pups feel safe, Peter excels with big, high-drive dogs who need confident guidance and focused walks.
We are Pet First Aid & CPR certified, insured with Lloyd's of London, background checked via Rover and committed to treating every
fur baby like family.
"We at K9 Cool Bus believe your pets are your children! So why not give them the same experience? If only we could claim them as dependents!"
How crazy are Pete and Missy over their K9's? Crazy enough to buy a school bus for them!! It wouldn’t be the first time Peter purchased a car for his beloved pet. “Peter once bought a Mitsubishi Montero that seated 8 just for my chocolate lab named “Keno” and I'm t was pretty much the two of them riding around in this big SUV. We had lots of adventures and I eventually sold it to Eric Quan of Quan’s Kitchen and he used it to its full potential.
Meet Missy
Hi! I’m Missy, co-founder of K9 COOL BUS. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was
a kid, and turning that love into a real business has been one of my proudest
accomplishments.
I combine that experience with my passion for animal behavior to make sure every pet feels
safe, loved, and understood. Whether I’m walking a shy pup, working with high-energy
dogs, or caring for pets while their families travel, my goal is always the same: treat your fur
baby with the same love, protection, and respect I give my own.
At K9 COOL BUS, your pets aren’t just clients, they’re family, and I’m honored to be one of their
God-pawrents.
Missy’s greatest pet accomplishment was caring for her dog named “Brody-yes like the chief,”🦈 that endured a spinal injury and was paralyzed from the waist down. Brody had a custom made wheel chair long before they were accessible. Missy also had a pair of skis for Brody that he could wear on snowy days. Missy did everything she could for Brody, from inserting a catheter to changing his diapers, even sacrificing her own needs to afford his medical bills. “He was my baby boy and I would do it over one thousand times again if I had too.”
Meet Peter
Hi, I’m Peter, co-founder of K9 COOL BUS and a lifelong dog lover with a special talent for
working with big, strong, and high-drive breeds. I understand how to keep powerful dogs calm, structured, and confident on their walks.
I specialize in focused, intentional leash work, helping dogs heel, stay engaged, and
release their energy in a healthy way. My approach is calm, patient, and assertive, creating
safe and fulfilling walks for dogs of all sizes.
With me, your pup gets protection, guidance, and a handler who treats them like family,
always.
Peter has traded "Teams" and "Zoom" meetings for "Zoomies" meetings and after commuting to Waltham from Scituate the for past 13 years, every Monday – Friday, sometimes sitting in traffic up to 4 hours a day, Peter decided to hang up his 500 mile a week commute and try something else that has always been a love of his; spending time with furry friends that have always put a smile on his face. “I’d rather spend my day driving around cute and furry K9’s all day long over the 128 grind!” Sitting in a cubicle and in traffic cannot rival spending time outside, having fun adventures in nature with dogs… you just can’t beat it.
A tired dog is a happy dog and we appreciate getting in our steps as well! It’s a win-win for all! Peter has been blessed to have 3 American Staffordshire Terriers, 1 Chocolate Lab, 1 Yellow Lab, 1 Italian Greyhound, 1 Rat Terrier, 1 Jack Russell Terrier and an Old English Sheepdog over the years. “Pets have given me so much without asking for anything in return and their unconditional love is unparalleled! "Now I want to give back to them what they have given me over the years... Most people think I’m helping dogs live their best lives, the truth is, they are helping me live mine.”
