Meet Our Team of Animal Lovers

"I've always had dogs growing up.They've always had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. For the past 15 years I've devoted my time working with them. I've worked at a few different doggy daycares, boarding kennels and as a groomer. I'm a certified CGC evaluator and I'm animal CPR certified. For the past 3 years I've taught basic obedience training, reactive and nosework classes. I'm so excited to be a part of the You Lucky Doggy team!"

"Ever since I was a little girl, I've had an enormous passion for animals and the great outdoors! I'm a huge nature nerd, so I'm always looking out for different plants and critters on my walks and hikes. I've had dogs and cats (and fish) my entire life, and I seriously cannot imagine a life without them. My animals are always a top priority for me. A family is not complete without a furry friend! I strive to treat anyone's animal as if they were my own, because our furry friends well-being is the most important! I'm so happy to be a part of the You Lucky Doggy team!! Everyone here is super nice, and has such a respect and love for animals; I know the team wants nothing but the best for them! It never fails to brighten my day seeing all the happy dogs! I'm a big picture person, so taking their pictures is definitely one of my favorite parts of the job. I know how much it means to have good pictures of your furry friends! It's so nice to have quality time with the dogs, whether it is a walk through the neighborhood or yard playtime. Their enrichment is super important, so being a part of that feels amazing!"

"Dogs have been part of my family for 24 years. My pack includes my sweet 15 year old Beagle Kimber, my athletic 4 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Sierra and my energetic 5 month old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Bryce. We enjoy being in nature, hiking, swimming and learning new things. I have participated in many dog activities including obedience, tracking, barn hunt, dock diving and agility. Dog agility is our passion! I love the training process; the eagerness and joy in their faces is infectious! Developing that bond with your dog is priceless. My social life is centered around dog sports and therefore I am familiar with many different breeds. I love and respect them all. Every dog has such a unique personality, and I can’t wait to meet and spend quality time with yours! I know we will brighten each other’s day!”

"Ever since I can remember, animals of all sorts have been a huge part of my life, especially dogs! Not only are they family, but they truly are a companion that looks up to you. I love getting to know each and every one of the pups' personalities around me! I've previously worked for a doggy daycare/trainer. When working there, I gained experience handling all sorts of dogs, including dog reactive, human reactive, resource guarding, basic obedience, and more. I'm currently enrolled in a dog training program and plan on becoming certified in the near future. I plan to focus on reactivity of all kinds basic obedience, resource guarding and maybe someday service animal training! I believe if your pets are happy and comfortable they are living life to the fullest, and so are you! I'm very excited to be apart of the YLD team and to meet all these beautiful pups!"

"Hi there! I’m a passionate dog lover who can’t wait to spend time with your furry friends. Every dog I come in contact with puts an instant smile on my face and truly makes my day.There’s nothing quite like the joy of watching them grow and thrive! Alongside my love for dogs, I also volunteer at a local cat shelter, where I enjoy caring for them and making sure they know I’m a safe space for them. I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm for animals to my new role and create wonderful memories with each dog I meet!

"I've always loved animals and I absolutely adore my dog, Bentley! For the past few years, I’ve dedicated time to volunteering at a local animal shelter, caring for both cats and dogs. It’s been such a rewarding experience to be a part of their journey, from the moment they arrive at the shelter to the joy of seeing them find their forever homes.  I'm so excited to be a part of the You Lucky Doggy team, and make our furry friends' days a little brighter!"

I have always loved dogs.  When I was seven years old my parents gifted me my first dog and I was hooked. She was my companion from childhood to adulthood. That is when I realized dogs are more than just a pet, they are an important part of the family. I have had many dogs throughout my life. They give us unconditional love. Dogs are by our sides through good times and hard times. My friends and family know how passionate I am about dogs so when they need a pet sitter while they are away on vacation I happily volunteer. I also love being outside walking and hiking no matter the season. Therefore,  when I recently retired from a long career in insurance it made perfect sense to become a dog walker/pet sitter. I met Sarah and was immediately impressed with You Lucky Doggy. Each and every co-worker is kind and genuinely loves dogs. It is such a satisfying feeling knowing you are taking such good care of each dog and what it means to the owners of these wonderful pets. I am the lucky one now.  

Animals ever since I was little have held a special place in my heart, I love them all. In 2021 I started helping others with their fur babies. It’s the most rewarding job I feel. I love seeing the excitement on their faces when they know it’s time to go out. The best feeling is earning the trust with ones who are unsure at first as they don’t just give trust to anyone. I have done research learning things to look out for, such as plants that are toxic to dogs and how to tell what a dog may be feeling. I’m excited to join this wonderful team and can’t wait to make some new doggy friends!
