MEET YOUR PACK LEADERS

Chantelle quigley-dimeo
Owner - Founder

Chantelle started Mutt Butts in February 2018 after many years of working in the legal and real estate sectors and volunteering in animal rescue settings.

After college, she worked for two very prestigious law firms in Rhode Island. In one firm, her roles included assistance in projects such as the Thomas Slater Center and Deepwater Wind Block Island. In the other firm, she assisted in unique medical malpractice and maritime cases.  Throughout her time in the legal field, she was heavily involved in several southern dog rescue groups, fostering and leading successful fundraisers helping many special needs dogs.

Chantelle’s love of working with animals, combined with her client management and community interaction skills, helped her form the necessary foundation for Mutt Butts of RI. Now in its eigth year, and with the help of her extraordinary staff, Mutt Butts has become one of the leading pet care companies in Rhode Island.

Chantelle focuses throughout Rhode Island, eastern Connecticut and per diem in Ellis County, Texas.

madeline ingraham
manager - head pack leader

Madeline joined forces with Mutt Butts in early 2021 and brings with her the passion for working with companion animals each day! Not only does she enjoy her time with the animals, but she takes seriously the responsibility entrusted to her in caring for all her waggy and purring friends. She specializes with animals who need a little extra time, care and special needs. She also brings a passion for all things animals, including the new "Mad Bee Barkery & Boutique" which focuses on confections for your furry pals and grooming needs.

When she is not hanging onto several leashes, you can find her with her own fluffy girl, Pixie, and her husband, Erik, at their art studio in West Warwick.

Madeline focuses primarily in Providence County.

joann d’aurio
pack leader

Joann started with the Mutt Butts team in 2018, wanting to spend more time with dogs and working in the local community.  Also a small business owner in the area (JoJo’s Cupcakes), JoAnn brought a great sense of community development and client interaction skills to the other members of the team.  The dogs quickly became the highlight of her day and she quickly learned handling skills for some of our more anxious and special needs dogs.  When C19 began, JoAnn took time off to focus on another project and to keep expanding her amazing confections.  Now she is back and happier than ever to be working with some amazing animals!  

When she isn’t hanging with some furry pals, JoAnn spends a lot of her time volunteering with local senior dog rescues and her favorite passion, baking!

JoAnn focuses primarily in Kent County.

rob stubbs
pack leader

Rob joined the Mutt Butt’s family in July of 2024 after a decade working as a local firefighter and EMT.  Always an animal lover at heart, Rob had many dogs in his life growing up.  He was able to reap many benefits of learning multiple dog skills from his mother who is a lifelong experienced dog trainer.  Having a lifelong bond with dogs, Rob knew that working as a pack leader would be an excellent fit for his life.

When he isn’t out behind a handful of leashes, Rob can usually be found hanging out with his wife and three dogs, usually treating them to one on one car rides and snacks when they get home!

Rob primarily focuses in the Providence County area.

ALIYAH SOBERS
pack leader

Aliyah joined the Mutt Butts team in December of 2023 after working in a doggie daycare in Kent County.  Always an animal lover, she had a variety of animals as pets growing up.  While living in Florida, she took veterinary classes throughout her higher education years before returning to her home state of Rhode Island. She brings a refreshing attitude to all of her dog and cat friends, giving them one on one attention that helps each dog feel more confident.

When she isn’t out walking the dogs, she can usually be found with her coast guard husband, her family or getting ready to welcome a baby girl in the spring of 2024!  

Aliyah focuses primarily in Providence and Kent Counties.

erik ingraham
per diem pack leader

Erik became a member of the Mutt Butts team not long after his wife, Madeline (manager), joined us.  While working in a per diem capacity with the team, he has created amazing relationships with many of the dogs, especially the senior ones.  Erik helps with many of our local events as a crafter and wood worker (among many other talents).  

When not helping with some of the pups, he can be found creating amazingly crafted projects, working at his mill space, or spending time with Mads and their pup, Pixie.

Erik focuses primarily in Kent County in a per diem capacity.

liz tinnel
pack leader

Liz, a southeastern Connecticut native, is focused and dedicated to animal care.  Before coming to Mutt Butts in December 2021, she spent several years working in the childcare sector.  She has shifted her focus to working with animals, bringing with her the same love and care.  Mutt Butts has been the perfect place for her to apply her knowledge and passion of nurturing.  She is always eager to meet the needs of any pet, and young or old, she will be there.  

When Liz isnt caring for one of your furry pals, she is tending to the needs of her many plants or getting lost in her writing.

 Liz focuses primarily between Montville and Lisbon, CT and areas in between.
