The owner was an animal science teacher at BOCES for 5 years, and has been a licensed veterinary technician for +15 years, specializing in emergency & critical care.​ She has worked with various species of animals throughout her entire life, but of course her original love for animals started with man's (or woman's) best friend; dogs. She lives on-site in New Hampton with her Australian Shepherd. Her mother recently retired and is now giving an extra hand to help love your fur babies, living on-site in Monroe. She is also a life-long animal lover, and she will probably brag about her 8 cats. We have a full staff of pre-vet/vet-tech students, groomers, and trainers that help us provide quality care to our guests. Our visitors are treated as our "nieces & nephews", and it brings us all joy to watch them grow.

Luca was born February 2019 and he is a neutered male Australian Shepherd. Luca is one of our most valuable staff members. He is not only extremely lovable and friendly, but he loves to play. He makes a great behavior analysis dog when assessing new clients because he tends to have a very neutral demeanor with almost all dogs he meets. The great news is, Luca lives on-site and makes a great addition to any sized play group.
