Meet The Team
Erica
General Manager
Erica has been with Dawgzone since 2019. She started out working at a local humane society when she was 16 and found a passion for dogs and learning dog behavior. She started working in doggy daycare two years later where she became a certified dog trainer and taught classes for several years. She has owned both cats and dogs for over 10 years.
Lisa Aka Auntie Lisa
Daycare Manager
Lisa joined the DZ crew in 2010. She is our resident dog whisper. If there is one person your dog will get attached to and won't be able to live without is Auntie Lisa. She does all of our introductions/evaluations so she will be one of the first people your dog meets when they start here (hence why all the dogs are attached to her lol). She has two dogs, Fern, who is pictured above and a chihuahua mix named Bane.
Jordan
Pack Leader
Jordan joined the team in 2017.
She has a keen eye for detail and personalities. If there is one person who can always tell if something is off with your dog, it's Jordan. She's a huge help in making sure we notice any issues right away so we can make sure our clients are informed.
Connie

Connie was a part of the DZ pack back in 2007 till 2010 and then rejoined the pack in 2020.
She has over 10 years of experience in working with dogs and dog training. She enjoys doing lots of activities with her own dogs such as FAST CAT and agility courses. She's our resident herding breed expert.

Olivia
Pack Leader
I've been working at DZ since 2023! My favorite part about working here is all of the time I get to spend cuddling my furry friends! I've had dogs since I was young and currently own two of my own. Outside of work I like to go on hikes with my pup and go see live music.
Janelyn

Hey I'm Janelyn! I've been working at the Dawgzone since 2023. It's been one of my favorite jobs I've had. I have a dog of my own named Rizzo, and I really enjoy crocheting, anything outdoors and reading! My future career goals are animal orientated so I love getting the experience to be around everyone's pups all day!
