about.

Collared With Love began with our family-and our first dog, Lulu.

She joined our lives and opened up a whole new world - one filled with love, connection, and joy. What started as a simple addition to our home quickly became something much bigger: a deeper appreciation for the bond between people and their pets. From those early walks and tail wags, the idea for Collared with Love was born—an invitation for pet owners to create something personal, expressive, and full of heart.

As sisters, we (Pamela and Faye) grew up together in Massachusetts. Our mom handmade cards for every occasion, so we grew up learning that one of the most meaningful ways to show love was through something made by hand. (The seed for Collared with Love was planted early—we just didn’t know it yet).

After heading in different directions for school and careers, we quickly realized we wanted to raise our families close to each other. Faye moved to North Carolina, and Pamela followed soon after, eventually landing in the same neighborhood and building the tight-knit family we had always wanted.

Brooke, Faye’s oldest daughter and the third founder, grew up right in the middle of it all - shared holidays, birthday card-making, after-school snacks, and daily life spent between both homes.

Our lives have always been intertwined and when pets entered the picture, they became part of that circle too. To our family, pets aren’t just animals - they’re family, and they deserve to be celebrated.

That’s where everything clicked. A childhood love of handmade cards met a deep love for our pets, and Collared with Love was born.

Through Collared with Love, we hope to share that same sense of closeness, creativity, and community with you. Our mission is simple: help pet lovers design collars that reflect their unique style and the special bond they share with their furry companions.

Our plan is to grow and expand our offerings over time - but the purpose will always stay the same. To bring people together and celebrate the unconditional love we all have for our pets, one collar at a time.
