I have been working at the Pet Spa for a long while! I happily manage all departments and staff here. I spend most of my time easing peoples worries as they check their dog in for extended stays or while enrolling their pup in our daycare center for the first time. i am proud of the honest and loving culture we have created here! I recently married my best friend on our 10 year anniversary. at home we have an amazing creative daughter, Kailyn and a sensitive loving son, leim. We have 3 fuzzy doodles running around also; Midas, Luna and murph. We love being outside, spending time with family and eating queso!
