The Team
Igor Derysh
Pet Care & Operations Associate
Igor has been a part of Pupology since 2024 and is deeply involved in the day-to-day care, operations, and heart of the business. As a consistent presence in the home, he works closely alongside Alex to help ensure every dog receives thoughtful, attentive, highly individualized care.
Before joining Pupology, Igor cared for rescue dogs with behavioral and emotional needs, an experience that shaped his calm, compassionate approach with animals. He has a natural sensitivity to canine body language and believes strongly in maintaining each dog’s routines, comfort, and sense of security.
Outside of Pupology, Igor works remotely as a managing editor at Salon Magazine, bringing a detail-oriented, thoughtful perspective to everything he does. He’s known for his patience, reliability, and love of long neighborhood walks, especially with a happy dog beside him.
Martha Fierroa
Pet Care Specialist
Martha is originally from Aguascalientes (fluent in English and Spanish) and is now based on the West-side of Fort Greene park. Having grown up around both cats and dogs, Martha has years of hands-on animal care experience with a strong focus on consistency, attentiveness, and understanding each pet’s individual routine and behavioral needs.
Martha also has experience caring for animals with a wide range of temperaments and support needs. She provided long-term advanced medical care for her own cat during cancer treatment. That experience gave her firsthand knowledge of the patience, structure, and close observation required when caring for medically vulnerable pets.
Martha is known for her calm, reliable presence and detail-oriented approach to care. Outside of Pupology, she works as an artist and designer with photography, painting, and website design; creative disciplines that have strengthened her observational skills and thoughtful attention to detail.
