Stephanie

Kennel Assistant

Stephanie

When Stephanie was a kid, she could usually be found glued to the television, watching in awe as Steve Irwin (a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter) handled all kinds of critters and wild animals. This influence, coupled with her love for her loyal canine companion, Zucky, inspired Steph to pursue a career working with animals. As a kennel attendant here at Valley Pet Hotel, Steph loves making fur babies feel safe and loved while their owners are on vacation.

At work, Steph enjoys the variety of seeing new animals every day. She also appreciates the opportunity she gets to bond with our longer-term guests. At the end of the day, Steph goes home to her multitude of pets, including a rescue dog named Saddie; a very smart pup named Eevee; two cats (Tigger and Keelala) who have both been taught to sit on command; and 3 tetras, 1 pleco, and 15 snails, all of whom share a 20-gallon aquarium.

In her spare time, Steph’s many hobbies include going to the gym, exploring nature, playing videogames, watching television (mostly anime and documentaries), and spending time with her pets and loved ones.

When things would get tough for Daniel growing up, he always seemed to find solace in the company of an animal. It wasn’t until he became an adult, however, that he decided to turn his love of animals into a career. Now, he feels honored to be devoting his life to helping his four-legged friends in need. 

As one of the kennel attendants here at Valley Pet Hotel, Daniel enjoys overcoming challenges in his day to day work. And, of course, there’s all the boarding guests he gets to care for and interact with! How many people get to list snuggles and cuddles as part of their job description?!

Daniel’s own fur-babies include a terrier mix named Luna, and four cats (Shadow, Pumpkin, Bird, and Ash), all of whom are rescues. Each of the kitties originally came from a litter of neighborhood strays. When he first took them in, they were malnourished and infested with fleas. Meanwhile, Luna had been badly abused and left to fend for herself outside. Daniel has nursed them all back to complete health.

Over the years, Daniel’s hobbies and personal interests have evolved quite a bit, but the most recent involves fostering kittens. He’s also big on streaming TV shows. A few favorites include Grey’s Anatomy, iZombie, and Dynasty.

When I was about 8 or 9 I knew that I wanted to have a career with animals, I’ve always been interested in learning more and learning about dogs and cats anatomy. At first I thought it would be cool to be a marine biologist but then I discovered that I am scared of what’s in the ocean. So I took my career into being a vet tech.

After high school I went to platt college and got my associates degree in veterinary technology and I am glad I’ve gotten to get the experience in the surgery room, doing dentals, vaccinating cats and dogs and answering lots of clients’ questions. I love when clients thank me for taking care of their pets and giving them the best care that I can.

I also have fur babies of my own that I love to take to the dog park in my free time and I’m my fur babies to the pool. I also enjoy going to the zoo and the aquarium and just learning as much information as I can.

I’ve always had a soft spot for any animal. I grew up with cats and dogs in my childhood household. Golden retrievers will always be a favorite of mine. I have a strong passion for horses and I truly do feel a connection with them.

In my current household, I have 4 tabby cats, 3 terriers, and 1 baby turtle. All 4 cats are rescued from finding them on the streets. As well as my 3 dogs, they were rescued from shelters. My home would not be complete without all my fur babies. They make my world feel a bit more special. As a hobby outside of taking care of the pets here at Valley Pet Hotel, I am a part of Wag Dog Walking and have been for 4 years now. I enjoy my time with all the different dogs I walk and take care of, as well as meeting pet parents!

My love for animals started before I could even walk. Growing up with my 4 legged best friends Cheyenne, Sophie, and Lilly by my side was a huge part of what sparked my love for animals. Working with them has always been a no-brainer for me. I’ve made it my life’s mission to make a difference in the lives of all the beautiful creatures this world has to offer.

Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege of working with and volunteering at many dog rescues/sanctuaries, animals hospitals and shelters. There is nothing more rewarding or fulfilling to me than being able to make a difference and help however I can. I feel like i am nothing without animals, they are my life and my reason to live so for that i will forever be grateful.
