As the nation’s leader in outdoor remodeling, it’s no secret everyone at System Pavers loves creating beautiful outdoor spaces. However, many of us have another love that hits even closer to home. Our pets!

From playful pups and mischievous kitties to leisurely senior pets snoozing under our desks, our corporate team’s furry (and some with feathers or scales) family members keep us entertained, loved, and always on our toes.

Thanks to many of us working semi-remotely, we’ve all gotten to know many of our teammates’ pets as they pop in and out of screens or bark in the background. We thought it’d be a good idea to share these adorable faces with you so you could get to know the entire System Pavers family a little better.

So, we asked a few team members to send in pics of their pets. And they did not disappoint! Gear up for an onslaught of cuteness overload as we introduce you to the real VIPs (Very Important Pets) of System Pavers.

Meet our System Pavers Pet Teammates!

First up...meet your senior tour guide, Frank! Adopted around the age of two, Frank is now 17 and lives in Arizona with Cassi, our Chief Marketing Officer. He'll do anything for his favorite treat - carrots - and he's absolutely obsessed with watching and chasing lizards.

Our most dapper pet award goes to Cooper, who lives with Brent, our Chief Growth Officer. At six years old, Cooper is a big fan of going to the dog park...with one caveat. He prefers playing with humans while he's there!

Frank's especially excited to introduce one of the newer additions to our team, Wally! This ten-year-old corgi and dachshund mix spent THREE years at the animal shelter until being recently adopted by our Chief Talent Officer Ross and his family. He quickly made himself at home and now enjoys hobbies such as showing the other people and animals in the house who's boss. Most days you can find him sitting in Ross's office chair...judging.

One of our favorite pairs are the cuddle pile known as Toby and Tyrion. These distinguished gentlemen live with our Director of Marketing, Jade, and spend most of their time watching Jade crunch numbers as they lounge the day away. As the smaller of the two, Toby prefers to stay cozy by sleeping right on top of big brother Tyrion.

On the slightly more youthful side, we have another dynamic dog duo - Daisy and Wayne - who live with our Events Marketing Manager, Lindsey. Wayne is the baby on our team and quickly managed to melt all our hearts.

Down in Houston we have another furry favorite - Pearl! We often spot her wagging tail behind the screen as Hillary, our Director of Performance Marketing, gets work done. A big fan of car rides, walks, and going to the beach, 5-year-old Pearl loves showing off her stuffed animals to anyone who may want to play.

Another common sighting during Teams call is our Graphic Designer Emeree's "favorite child" Louie the Frenchie. Usually seen napping in the background, Louie loves treats, going for walks, and can't stand the vacuum cleaner. He does have one toxic trait (Big Dog Energy In A Little Dog Body) but with that face, none of us mind in the slightest.

Our Social Media Manager Macaela is often seen working with her furry buddy by her side. Dixon is a 12-year-old teacup poodle who has one workplace requirement – she needs a warm, cozy blanket accessible 24/7. Dixon may be small, but she has a big brain and even bigger personality. She can sit, lay down, play dead and always knows the best time to sneak onto the couch is when her mom is distracted by houseguests.

But before you start thinking System Pavers are strictly dog lovers, we do have quite a few other pets on our team. Such as dogs who live with other pets!

One of our most popular dog duos Mac and Mila were adopted by Lead Designer Taylor and visit the System Pavers headquarters often. While Mac has never met a stranger, Mila can be a little shy and overprotective of her big brother.

However, it's their cold-blooded sibling Duncan who literally comes out of his shell when he visits. As a Russian Tortoise who's incredibly friendly, Duncan earned the honor of being the Marketing Team mascot and is a fav around the office. He's even made an appearance on our social media.

If you're more of a cat person, no worries! We have plenty of kitties in the System Pavers family. Lindy is a petite calico who lives with Krista, our Growth Marketing Manager. At a mere 6 pounds, 12-year-old Lindy is adept at rousing the household for the day. She'll open the shutters way before it's time to wake up and enjoys playing fetch with her toy mice.

Another beautiful calico cat on our team is Azula. Sister to Zuko, these two lucky siblings live with our Lead Content Producer, John. Black cat Zuko especially loves making an appearance during Teams meetings but isn't afraid to share the spotlight with his sister if she feels like dropping by.

And if two cats aren't enough, we have at least one two-cat-one-dog household as well. Our copywriter Leah's cats - Irma (not pictured) and Bing Bong - enjoy interrupting Teams meetings and doing their best to work typos into ads. Irma is a senior kitty who rules the household while 6-year-old Bing Bong prefers to cause mayhem with his 6-year-old canine partner in crime Ozzy.

As we wrap up our list, we have one more dog we wish we could see in our Teams meetings one more time - Bella. Before she passed away at 14 years of age, Bella was Jen, our Director of System Pavers University's soulmate dog. As a loyal +1 during every virtual meeting, Bella would lay at Jen's feet throughout the workday and once got bit by a rattlesnake while protecting her. Bella's special powers included being able to hear a banana (her favorite treat) being peeled from across the house.

Why We Love Our Pets

We hope you enjoyed meeting our pets as much as we enjoy sharing them. Whether they’re acting as feet warmers during Teams calls, making us laugh with their antics, or reminding us to take breaks for a walk around the block or playtime, the pets of System Pavers bring us endless joy.

They inspire us to create outdoor spaces that aren’t just beautiful but also pet-friendly—because every backyard should have room for zoomies, sunbathing, and lazy afternoon naps. And, in case you were wondering…yes, the artificial turf we install is non-toxic, made without “forever chemicals” and specifically designed to be safe for people and pets!

We love celebrating our wild and wonderful coworkers, and we know many of the homeowners we work with do too. Do you have a pet who loves hanging out in your outdoor space? Share a picture with us by tagging it on social media using #SystemPaversPets
