Meet Our Staff

Meet Sharon;

Since opening the doors of Animal House on June 1st, 2004, Sharon has poured every ounce of grit, heart, and hustle into building a place where dogs feel safe, loved, and understood. 

Tough as nails but tender with every single guest, she’s earned the trust of countless pet parents over the years. Her deep love for animals isn’t just professional, it’s personal. Throughout the years, Sharon (and staff) have gained over 6000 family members;  every one just as memorable and special as the last. She shares her home with four dogs and five cats, each one a cherished member of her own pack. Her kennel isn’t just a business-it’s a legacy of care, built from the ground up and running strong for over two decades. 

Meet Amber;

Don’t let her quiet nature fool you, Amber is a force of loyalty, strength, and unwavering dedication. She's the powerhouse behind our kennel’s smooth operations; calm and composed on the surface, and the kind of leader who steps up with confidence when it counts, taking control with clarity and purpose.

Her bond with the dogs is undeniable,  dogs trust her, and so do we.

Known for being fiercely dependable and deeply trustworthy, she’s the steady hand behind the scenes who keeps things running smoothly. And when challenges arise, her fiery determination shines through, always ready to protect, guide, and lead with quiet authority.

With Amber on our team, every dog is in safe, capable, and compassionate hands.

Meet Jaedyn;  

With a deep love for dogs and a drive that never quits, and years of experience, she ensures every pup in our care receives thoughtful, personalized attention. Whether it’s managing group play or customizing care for anxious or senior dogs, she brings confidence, compassion, and expertise to every moment. She’s also our tech wizard, keeping our social media and team communication running like clockwork.

At home, she’s a proud mom to two beloved dogs and a spirited 7-year-old daughter who shares her love for animals.  

What truly sets her apart is her connection with our clients. She builds lasting relationships through trust, transparency, and genuine care, making every pet parent feel confident and supported from drop off to pick up.

Meet Kaylyn;

Kaylyn makes a big impression with her reliability, knowledge, and genuine love for animals. Always ready to jump in, often with zero notice, she’s the kind of teammate every kennel dreams of having.

Kaylyn brings confidence and calm to every shift, whether it’s supervising playgroups, or giving extra attention to pups who need a little TLC. Her natural connection with animals is clear the moment she walks through the door.

While dogs are a big part of her life, she is also a proud cat lover through and through. At home, she shares her heart (and couch) with two dogs and two beloved cats who keep life interesting and full of love. Dependable, knowledgeable, and always ready to lend a hand, Kaylyn is an exceptional addition to our pack—and a trusted friend to every furry guest.

Meet Kaitlyn;

The definition of reliable; Kaitlyn is always stepping in when we need her, even on short or no notice. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to multitask. Whether she’s juggling group play, greeting new arrivals, or helping a nervous pup settle in, she does it all with confidence and a steady presence that the dogs instantly trust. What really makes her special is the humor she brings to our team. She’s the one who can turn a stressful moment into a shared laugh, lifting the whole staff and reminding us that working with dogs is supposed to be joyful. And of course, she’s rarely here alone. Her dog Casper is a beloved part of our pack. He has friends in every playgroup and brings his own brand of fun wherever he goes. We’re incredibly grateful to have Kait as part of our team. Our days are smoother, brighter, and a whole lot funnier because of her. 

  Meet Taylee;

Taylee is a shy, gentle soul at first, but once she warms up, she’s unstoppable. She’s full of hilarious stories, contagious energy, and the kind of reliability that makes her someone we can always count on. Whether it’s coming in on short to no notice or stepping up when it matters most, Taylee shows up with her whole heart every single time.

She loves our dog and cat guests like they’re her own, and with a home full of animals; 2 dogs, 3 cats, a bunny, and a ferret, caring for creatures big and small is simply part of who she is. When there’s dirty work to be done, Taylee is the first to roll up her sleeves without a single complaint.

Her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for every animal make her an essential part of our team. We’re deeply grateful for the way she stepped up when we needed her most, and even more grateful that she’s here.

Meet Layla;

Layla is one of our two newest team members, but you’d never know it. She’s a quick learner with an effortless, natural way with dogs. She gets things done without a second thought and jumps in wherever she’s needed. Always stepping up with a smile, she brings bright, positive energy into every part of the day, making even the busiest moments feel lighter.

Her reliability and growing knowledge make her an important part of our team, and her calm, confident presence helps every dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

 Layla also has a fantastic sense of humor, always smiling, always laughing, and always finding a way to make the day better for both staff and guests. She’s the kind of person who can turn a stressful moment into a shared laugh, and her warmth spreads quickly through the building.

Simply put, our days are better when Layla is around. She makes our whole environment not only safer, but much brighter! 

Meet Cassidy;

(Currently on maternity leave, soaking up every moment with her beautiful daughter!)

If you hear laughter echoing through the kennel, chances are you’ve just met Cassidy. Outgoing, bubbly, and endlessly passionate about animals, she brings joy and energy to every corner of our facility.

Though she’s proudly cat-obsessed (ask her about her feline crew!), her connection with dogs is just as remarkable. Whether she’s calming a nervous pup or leading playtime, her natural instinct and gentle approach makes her a favorite among our four-legged guests.

Clients trust her, dogs adore her, and our team relies on her upbeat spirit and dependable leadership every single day. She’s the kind of person who turns a busy shift into a smooth, happy experience—for pets and people alike. And when she’s not at the kennel? She’s at home with her three cats, who are truly her world. With her infectious energy, deep compassion, and unwavering dedication Cass helps make our kennel feel like a second home—for pets and staff.
