    In this episode of The Iron Rangers Podcast, we sit down with Sadie Rumberger, the founder and owner of Canine Clubhouse, a popular dog daycare and boarding facility with locations in Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg.

Sadie talks about her lifelong passion for animals, how she turned that passion into a thriving business, and the extensive research that went into opening her first location. We explore the unique challenges of running a business that serves both people and pets, from the technical demands of managing hundreds of dogs daily to navigating the complexities of COVID-19. Sadie also shares her thoughts on entrepreneurship, the lessons she's learned, and, of course, her favorite dogs at Canine Clubhouse.
