A Legacy of Care
Woofs and Waves was cofounded in 2015 by Mark and Nicole Olesen with a mission to serve Sioux Falls pet owners with love and expertise. In December 2024, Austin and Morgan Weber proudly took the reins, bringing their passion for pets and community to continue the store’s legacy.
Austin brings with him years of experience in pet retail management, including being a trusted team member at Woofs and Waves since 2017. Together with Morgan’s passion for pet rescue advocacy and business acumen as the co-owner of Lucky Pup Adventures, a local pet-sitting and dog-walking service, the Webers are dedicated to maintaining the store’s trusted reputation while introducing new community-focused initiatives to help enhance the already exceptional services offered to customers and their pets.
The Webers are active members of the Sioux Falls community. Over the years, they have worked closely with B-Squad Dog Rescue and Sioux Empire Pit Rescue, fostering 14 dogs (and counting!). They also curl and volunteer with Sioux Falls Curling when they’re not at home caring for their senior mixed-breed dog, two young beagles, the occasional foster dog, a tortoise, and three aquariums — including their massive 400-gallon tank.





Giving Back to Sioux Falls
We believe in the power of community. That’s why Woofs and Waves is committed to supporting local pet rescues, partnering with local businesses, and hosting events that bring pet owners together. From donation drives to adoption days, we’re here to make a positive impact on Sioux Falls.
