Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how long you've been a part of our team?
A: I joined this incredible team back in the summer of 2022, balancing my love for pets with my role as a gymnastics coach at Wildcard Gymnastics. It's been an amazing journey so far, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of our furry friends.
Q: Share a memorable or heartwarming moment you've had with a client's pet.
A: Being reunited with some friends from previous jobs always tugs at my heartstrings. There's a special connection formed over time, and seeing those familiar faces is a joy that never gets old.
Q: Do you have a favorite pet or client story you'd like to share?
A: Every day brings new favorite memories, making it nearly impossible to choose just one. The variety of personalities and unique moments with each pet ensures that leaving work is always bittersweet.
Q: Besides working with animals, what are your hobbies or interests?
A: Outside of work, I'm a music enthusiast who loves attending concerts. My friends and I make it a goal to experience the magic of live music at least once a month. We're also avid travelers, often journeying to new places for unforgettable shows.
Q: Do you have any pets of your own? If so, tell us about them.
A: Absolutely! My furry family includes my soul-dog Watson, a 4-year-old bully mix rescue, and two mischievous cats, Maki and Moira. Then there's Thudd Butt, my guinea pig with a larger-than-life personality. I also consider my parents' pets—Poppy, Dempsey, Lennon, and Luna—as part of my extended fur family.
Q: Any favorite dog parks or pet-friendly spots you recommend in our area?
A: For nature lovers, County Grounds and Havenwoods are my go-to trails. Whether it's the blossoming flowers in spring, the wildlife during fall, or a serene snowy landscape in winter, these trails make every season enjoyable.
Q: What's your go-to tip for clients looking to provide the best care for their pet?
A: Trust your instincts and love your pet unconditionally. There's no such thing as being too protective or caring too much. Ask all the questions, share all the details, and communicate openly about your pet's needs—after all, you know them better than anyone else in the world.
Q: How would you describe the teamwork and camaraderie among our pet care team? What do you appreciate most about working with our company?
A: The camaraderie within our team is truly special. We share a deep love and care for every dog, creating a bond that goes beyond the ones we directly work with. I appreciate the support and collaboration—the readiness to help when someone has a question about a client and the collective knowledge we possess about our furry friends. Perhaps a trivia night could put our knowledge to the test—I'm confident we'd ace it!
