Anne-Lise- Manager
Hello! I have been with Camp Canine since September 2012! I graduated from the University of Washington with College Honors for my Psychology degree emphasizing in Animal Behavior and a minor in Education. During my time at UW I was fortunate to be one of our mascot, Dubs, the Alaskan Malamutes, trainers for three years! And when I am not at Camp, you normally find me with Dubs II who I am the trainer and program coordinator! I am also a Certified Pet Dog Trainer and have been working with dogs professionally for 9 years! I am a firm believer in the saying “the more you know, the more you know there is to know” and I have continued to be active in the academic world of Animal Behavior, which helps me set up Camp in a way that utilizes the cutting edge science. I have attended and presented at 2 Animal Behavior Society meetings (2010 & 2013), Society for the Promotion of Applied Research in Canine Science, SPARCS (2015) and I have attended lectures and workshops by Dr. Susan Friedman, Dr. Temple Grandin, Kathy Sdao ACAAB and Dr. Roger Abrantes. I also work with both Dr. James Ha CAAB and Dr. Robin Foster CAAB in their behavior consulting business Adaptive Animals helping to provide owners with behavior modification training with their pets. My favorite part of working at camp is observing all the fascinating social group dynamics and watching dogs learn to navigate the complex and fun environment of daycare! In my spare time I am a Dog 4-H leader and the Superintendent of the King County Dog 4-H program. My passion for working with dogs started when I joined 4-H when I was 7 years old with my spirited 6 month old puppy B.J. He ignited a curiosity in me with every training challenge he threw my way and we grew to have an inseparable bond for nearly 16 years.

Adam- Assistant Manager
I became a part of the Camp Canine team in August of 2014. Prior to working here, I attended Central Washington University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program to further my pursuit of being an actor. My passion for acting is only rivaled by my passion for dogs. I have learned so much in the time I have spent here, and I am excited to continue learning even more!

MJ- Canine Care Coordinator
Hi, my name is MJ and I am one of the main shift leads here at Camp! I'm originally from Oakland, CA and I moved to Mukilteo almost 2 years ago with my boyfriend and my three year old American Akita named Thunder. In California I worked at a dog daycare for about a year and I volunteered at an animal shelter for a year and a half, so I have plenty of experience working with dogs of all shapes and sizes. My favorite part about working at Camp Canine is meeting all of the wonderful dogs and learning about their individual personalities. I enjoy coming to work and having all of the dogs be excited to see me while they have fun in a safe environment. In my spare time I like to go on hikes with my boyfriend and dog, read books, and watch movies.

Sarah- Groomer
Hello! :) I'm Sarah, the Groomer. I've been working at Camp Canine since 2012, 4 years now, and I feel truly blessed to have so many amazing bonds with so many wonderful dogs! I got to begin grooming at Camp in early 2013. I learned from Masers Grooming Academy.
This is my 1 year old little buddy Poncho. He's a Keeshond. He love coming to Camp to romp with all his girlfriends and get pampered with baths and brush outs.
My favorite part of working at Camp is getting to build relationships with the dogs and getting to see so much improvement in my furry clients who may otherwise have grooming related anxiety. My goal is to make grooming a positive experience for every dog!

Zoe-Wrangler & Front Desk Receptionist
I'm Zoe, I've been working at Camp Canine since October 2015. Before coming to Camp Canine, I dabbled in keeping captive exotic pets as a hobby and I'm a bit of a biology/entomology geek. I have volunteered at PAWS Wildlife Center as well as within the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. I chose a career path with dogs because they are engaging, and learning to communicate and cultivate bonds with them is a tremendously rewarding experience. The dogs at camp brighten my day and I bond with every single one of them! In my spare time I love drawing, spending time in nature and learning small-scale farming techniques.

Andy
My name is Andy and I have been working at Camp Canine for over 5 years. I currently have 4 dogs of my own. Daisy, Sadie (Treeing Walker Coon Hounds), Tugboat (Boxer), and Daniel (English Pointer). Outside of work I try to spend every minute possible with my dogs. The 4 of them are my life. We love going on walks and getting all sorts of looks due to the girls can be quite vocal.
I enjoy coming to work every day, so I can spend time with all the dogs I've built meaningful relationships with. I especially enjoy watching the shy new dogs come out of their shells, and build social skills. Working at Camp has been an amazing opportunity to learn all about dog behavior and individual dog breeds from a variety of excellent sources.

My name is Jessa and I have been at Camp Canine since November of 2017. I haven’t had any prior experience with working at a dog daycare so this has really been a fun experience! My favorite part about Camp is the amazing bond I’ve developed with many of the dogs here. At home I have a 10 year old Pomeranian mix and a 2 year old Aussie mix, both who have developed and intensified my love for furry animals. We love to pass time by playing in the water, playing fetch, and cuddling!

Brooke
Hello! I am Brooke, I started working at camp January 2019 and have fallen in love with the dogs here. The best part of this job is being able to love and hug the dogs all day. They can make a bad day into a good day with the hugs they give. I got a degree in zoology at Humboldt State University in northern California and have worked with exotics, as well as native wildlife for the past 8 years and this is my first chance to gain experience working with dogs and learning all about their behaviors. So far, I have learned a lot. At home I have a cat, named Trouble, but would like to one day own a dog and working with the dogs here is helping me decide what breed I would like to provide a forever home to. In my spare time I love to read and hike and go on new adventures!

Brittany
Hello! I started working at Camp Canine in October 2019. My favorite part about working at Camp Canine is spending time and bonding with all of the amazing dogs. The human/animal bond is so special and I love getting to know every dog. I have had a strong passion for animals my whole life and have always known I wanted to work with animals in some way. I am originally from San Diego, CA and moved to Washington in September 2018. I volunteered at the San Diego Humane Society as a dog walker and kitten nursery volunteer during high school. My career with animals started at SeaWorld San Diego where I was a Zoological Educator for 3 years. I was also an Interpretive Volunteer at the San Diego Zoo and volunteer docent at a local wildlife nature center. I was able to share my knowledge and passion for wildlife with guests from all over the world. As far as pets go I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My very first pet of my own was my baby Blondie who was a Chihuahua. I got her when I was 8 years old and had her for 16 years. I now have two Golden Retrievers named Leilani and Kaia who have been my babies since September 2017 & May 2018. In my spare time I am either with my family, at the dog park with my girls, or running my Etsy shop where I make dog bandanas, collars, and leashes.

Hi, my name is Whitney! I have always loved dogs and have been learning about the different breeds and their behaviors since I was a kid. I always wanted to work with dogs, so I love everyday at Camp Canine. I started working here in December 2019. I love getting to know the dogs and creating bonds with them.

Kaitlyn- Trainer
I've only been working here since September of 2015, but it's already my favorite thing! Before coming to Camp Canine, I worked as a dog walker and for Greyhound Pets, Inc. taking care of a huge kennel full of retired racing greyhounds! I'm in school to become a professional dog trainer with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. My favorite part of working here is building relationships with all the dogs and helping keep them fulfilled both mentally and physically. I also love my coworkers--it's cool to know so many people so dedicated to dogs.
At home I have a Mini American Shepherd named Oakley! Together we compete in agility, barn hunt, lure coursing, rally obedience, and trick dog, and we're in training to start dock diving, herding, disc dog and dog parkour! We definitely keep ourselves busy, that's for sure! When I'm not at camp I'm at the dog park or trials, and when I'm not at the dog park or trials, I like to paint, and I'm pretty sure I've seen everything Netflix has to offer, twice.
