Established in 2011.
After much searching, Bill and Jennifer couldn’t find a pet store that had a couple of items they needed. Frequent travelers, one item they needed was a new carrier for the airline and didn’t want the same old thing from big store. They searched and searched but to no avail. Since Bill is an entrepreneur, where he saw a need, he saw opportunity. After some investigation into the industry, research about the Houston pet demographics, he decided to make a go for it. The name was born after a late evening struggling to come up with something catchy. Rocky, his Chihuahua, suddenly ran over his chest while he was laying on the floor. Maggie was not far behind, a playful chase that included a leap over their loving owner. Bill exclaimed ‘Rocky, Maggie!’, and the search was over. What better name for a pet shop than his two most loved (and crazy) pets. After an exhaustive search, Rice Village became the location of the store. We opened the doors Feb 3, 2012 and the rest is history

Bill K.
Business Owner
Bill, a New Yorker for 35 years, moved to Houston along with his wife Jennifer and dog Rocky in 2008. In 2010, they adopted Maggie from Pup Squad pet rescue. Bill grew up with dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters/gerbils, birds and fish and his love of pets has never diminished.

Prior to entering the pet industry, Bill had many years of success in the medical device industry. After leaving that industry, he developed a consultancy and sales training business and recently sold that equity and has re-focused his enthusiasm on the development of Rocky & Maggie’s.

In addition to the day job, he and his wife, Jennifer Arnold are also the stars of the hit television show, «The Little Couple» on TLC. The show highlights their personal and professional challenges and triumphs (including the development of Rocky & Maggie’s).
